It sounds menacing, too.
What do you do if you have a bank account that'd make Kim Kardashian jealous, a penchant for speed, and a love of Lamborghini?
You'd ask the Italian automaker to build you a one-off supercar that
matches your wickedly wild vehicular demands. The result is the Lamborghini SC18 Alston,
a one-off supercar that couldn't be built through normal channels.
Instead, the customer tapped Squadra Corse, Lamborghini's motorsport
division, to build the creation, which made an appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The Latest From Goodwood:
The video above gets us up close with the SC18 Alston. We get to see
all of the car's unique exterior bits along with a peek inside, too,
where there are several more unique pieces. The video then captures the
Alston queuing to the Goodwood track before rocketing off after another
Lamborghini.
Underneath the wild exterior is a Lamborghini Aventador, which is wrapped in a visually menacing package that borrows heavily from the Huracán GT3 EVO,
including the hood. Other parts such as the fenders, fins, and scoops
come from the Huracán Trofeo EVO. The most striking visual is the
massive rear carbon-fiber wing that can manually adjust to three
positions – the sort of feature needed for increased downforce or less
drag during top-speed runs.
Powering the one-off beast is
Lamborghini's familiar 6.5-liter V12 that makes 770 horsepower (574
kilowatts) and 531 pound-feet (720 Newton-meters) of torque in the
Alston. A seven-speed gearbox sends power to the ground. Sadly, other
performance specs are under wraps. Top speed and its zero to
62-miles-per-hour (100-kilometers-per-hour) time are unknown, and will
likely remain so as there's only one in the world and it's privately
owned.
Seeing the SC18 Alston in person, let alone run at a track,
is a rare experience. This could be one of the few times the car is out
in public, and it's on video for all our enjoyment.
