Lamborghini SC20 Is A 760bhp Open-Top Sports Car
If we talk about sports-cars, we mean Lamborghini and Ferrari, while the latter is busy releasing various versions of the V12, Lamborghini raised the bar after Aventador and Huracan. In 2020, the Italian car-making company launched quite a few aspirational models, and the SC20 was the cherry on the cake.

The second one-off creation from the motorsport department of the company, SC stands for Squadra Corse. Designed by Centro Stile in Sant’Agata Bolognese and the client it was betrothed, SC20 has the DNA of a racer car that is actually road legal. “Two years after the SC18 Alston, the SC20 was a new, intriguing challenge. The chief sources of inspiration were the Diablo VT Roadster, Aventador J, Veneno Roadster and Concept S, and the result is a dramatic combination of creativity and racing attitude,” commented Mitja Borkert, Head of Design Lamborghini Centro Stile.

Lamborghini SC20’s front splitter is framed by two fins. The sports car also takes cues from its predecessor with the air intakes on the front hood inspired by those of the Huracán GT3 EVO, while the sculpted body sides reflect the solutions adopted on the Essenza SCV12. The rear carbon fibre wing can move in three different positions: Low, Medium and High Load. The SC20 features exclusive details created for the customer starting from the body colours on a Bianco Fu (white) base, on which the Blu Cepheus (blue) livery gives a race car vibe. The interiors complement the exteriors, alternating with Nero Cosmus (black) and Bianco Leda (white).

The SC20 uses carbon fibre for the dashboard cover, door panels, centre console and steering wheel trim, in addition to the monocoque enabling its aggressive aerodynamics. It is also used for the shells of the seats upholstered in Alcantara and leather. The door handles use solid aluminium while the air vents are created using 3D printing technology at the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory. Maurizio Reggiani, Chief Technical Officer of Automobili Lamborghini, stated, “The SC20 is a combination of sophisticated engineering, Italian craftsmanship, sportiness and advanced design. It is also an example of applying our V12 engine and carbon fibre to a radical open-top vehicle that unmistakably carries the Lamborghini DNA.”

Lamborghini SC20 is powered by the company’s flagship V12 engine that produces 720 Nm of torque and 760 horsepower – that match the Aventador SVJ. The power is discharged to the ground by the four-wheel-drive system with central electronic differential, and the Pirelli PZero Corsa tires are mounted on single-nut aluminium rims, 20 inches in front and 21 inches at the rear. Despite SC20’s amazing design, looks and performance, you wouldn’t see many on the road, as it will be a one-off model only.
