The 2021 Aventador LP780-4 Ultimae is the last of its breed, the last naturally aspirated Lamborghini V12 not part of a hybrid system. A collectible piece, with a run limited to 350 coupes and 250 roadsters. Ultimae places a massaged version of the Super Veloce Jota (SVJ) version of the 6.5-liter V12 into a chassis and bodywork more closely related to the Aventador S. The result is ultimate V12 power in a chassis relaxed enough to cover a 100- or 200-mile drive up the California coast for a long weekend. Lamborghini pipped an additional 10 horsepower out of the engine at the very top of the rev band, producing 780 compared to the SVJ’s 770. It’s more an issue of bragging rights than any significant difference in performance, though Ultimae should post 0-60 mph numbers in the 2.8 range. More importantly, the extra horsepower demanded no price in torque, which remains identical with SVJ: 531 lb. ft. at 6750. Ultimae should be happy enough cruising boulevards with the gearbox placed in fully automatic mode, woofling along on a sea of torque.
