Fancy some bugs in your face at high speeds? Lamborghini has decided to do away with the trusty windshield for their latest weapon, the SC20…
This isn’t the first high-end carmaker to go windshield-less recently though. Ferrari’s 812 Monza, Aston Martin’s V12 Speedster and the McLaren Elva are all guilty of it — not to mention the Mercedes-AMG McLaren Stirling Moss that Kanye made infamous.
Inspired by fellow limited-edition track Lambos like the Diablo VT Roadster, Aventador J and Veneno hypercar, the SC20 goes one better, being a one off built by Lamborghini’s Squadra Corse motorsports division at the specific instructions of a way-too-well-off client.
As an intensely reworked Aventador SVJ, the 6.5 litre naturally aspirated V12 sends ungodly power and performance to all four wheels at 565 kW and 531 lb-ft of torque — and is an utter handful when the owner takes it to the circuit.
With an excessive amount of carbon fibre and no roof to haul around, the SC20’s body is moulded to deliver optimal airflow for both performance and the comfort of the occupants, even at high speeds. The driver can even decide how much downforce they want the car to generate – low, medium or high load. The white and blue paint job and matching interior was specifically requested by the buyer as well as the carbon fibre in the dashboard, door panels, centre console and steering wheel detailing. Of course the upward opening doors were mandatory by official Lamborghini law.
The Italian maker isn’t talking price, or revealing the identity of the wind enthusiast (The SC18 was $7 million). Either way, price is irrelevant — the SC20 will be at your local dealer never.
