Lamborghini shows one-off SC20 open-top track car

By CARSIFU | 17 December 2020


BOLOGNA: Lamborghini Squadra Corse has unveiled the SC20, an open-top track car type-approved for road use.

The SC20 is the second one-off engineered by the motorsport department and designed by Centro Stile in Sant’Agata Bolognese at the behest of a customer.

The goal was to build a unique vehicle, extreme in its design and performance, and able to combine aerodynamic solutions taken from racing Lamborghinis.

“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,” said Lamborghini Centro Stile design chief Mitja Borkert.

The carbon fibre body of the SC20 is polished and manually slicked down by the Lamborghini aerodynamic engineers to deliver optimal airflow for both performance and the cockpit’s occupants, ensuring comfortable open-air driving even at high speeds.

The pronounced front splitter is framed by two fins and the air intakes on the front hood are inspired by those of the Huracán GT3 EVO, while the sculpted body sides reflect the solutions adopted on the Essenza SCV12. The muscular rear is topped by a large carbon fibre wing that can be set in three different positions: Low, Medium and High Load.

The SC20 features exclusive details starting from the body colours on a Bianco Fu (white) base, created for the customer, on which the Blu Cepheus (blue) livery stands out.

The same shade is found in the interior, alternating with Nero Cosmus (black) and Bianco Leda (white).

The most significant element of the passenger compartment is the visible carbon fibre used for the dashboard cover, rear wall, door panels, center console and steering wheel trim, in addition to the monocoque.

Carbon fibre is also used for the shells of the seats upholstered in Alcantara and leather.

The door handles on the other hand, are machined from solid aluminum. Lastly, the air vents are created using 3D printing technology at the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory.

Its engine is based on Lamborghini’s flagship V12: the 6,498 cm3 aspirated 12-cylinder that delivers 759hp at 8,500 rpm and develops 720Nm of torque at 6,750rpm.

It is managed through a seven-speed Independent Shifting Rod (ISR) gearbox. The power is sent to the ground by the four-wheel drive system with central electronic differential, and the Pirelli PZero Corsa tyres are mounted on single-nut aluminum rims, 20 inches in front and 21 inches at the rear.
