"Just when you thought Lambo’s couldn’t get any wilder, the Essenza SC12 gets unveiled. This track-only monster is equipped with a 6.5-liter V12 engine that can produce a face-melting 819bhp. Born and raised to be fast, the Essenza’s chassis is built completely on carbon fiber which makes it weigh in at only 1376kg (3033.56 lbs). Every detail of this car’s exterior is designed to improve aerodynamics, air flow, and provide cooling for the engine, and, of course, scream “I want to go fast” when you look at it. This hypercar might be the pinnacle of Squadra Corse’s work to this day."—Official description[1]
The 2020 Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 - abbreviated as "Lambo Essenza" or "L. Essenza SCV12" - is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive track-only sports car manufactured by Lamborghini.
It appears in Forza Horizon 5 as part of the Italian Exotics Car Pack which debuted in the Series 24 update and in Forza Motorsport (2023) as standard.
Synopsis[]
It uses the same 6.5-litre V12 engine as the Aventador SVJ, tuned to the same specifications, but the engine has been turned 180-degrees to allow the gearbox to be mounted at the rear. The engine has a power output of 818 hp (610 kW) achieved by a ram air induction system, making it the most powerful naturally-aspirated engine made by the company.
It has special exhaust tips to reduce back pressure. Unlike the Aventador SVJ, the gearbox is a 6-speed non-synchromesh sequential unit, which also serves as a stressed member of the chassis by supporting the rear pushrod suspension. It has a rear-wheel-drive layout, as opposed to Lamborghini's current V12 powered offerings. It is 300 lb (136 kg) lighter than the Aventador SVJ and features a FIA approved carbon composite crash structure and a carbon fibre monocoque which is the first to be homologated without the use of metal[2].
It is also the first car to be developed according to the FIA prototype safety rules. The car has a power-to-weight ratio of 1.66 kg per hp (miswritten as "hp per kg" in Lamborghini's press release)[3].
