Well, this is interesting. Usually, renderings come from people with too much free time or after being commissioned by a magazine. It’s a different situation here as a tuner took matters into his own hands to unofficially look at a Lamborghini Aventador replacement. Recent spy shots of the disguised prototype have become the basis for a digital design exercise provided by DMC.
It’s pretty clear that the imaginary body kit follows the Sián FKP 37 while retaining as much detail as possible that we’ve seen on the test vehicle that went through testing earlier this year. However, with the heavily camouflaged prototype, we’re pretty sure the rendering isn’t completely accurate. Nevertheless, it does give us an idea of how the V12 supercar will evolve to replace the model we first saw about 11 years ago but still looks spectacular to this day.

Confirmed to have a newly developed V12 engine with electric assistance, the flagship rampage bull will launch at some point next year. While the Sián FKP 37 uses supercapacitor technology, the successor to the Aventador will rely on a plug-in hybrid powertrain that will likely come with a weight penalty. Why does Sant’Agata Bolognese pass this way? Because Lamborghini must comply with more stringent emission regulations.
The silver lining is that the all-new V12 should stay of the naturally aspirated type rather than going the turbocharging route. Company CEO Stephan Winkelmann said the Aventador replacement would not be mechanically linked to the Sián FKP 37, adding it would be an entirely new car. He went on to confirm it would have all-wheel steering as well as AWD, active aero, and plenty of carbon fiber to keep weight under control.
The new V12 engine will set the tone for Lamborghini’s electrification intentions as every new model coming from 2023 will be a hybrid. The Huracan’s successor has been confirmed to adopt a PHEV setup with a combustion engine featuring more than six cylinders. The Urus will also rock the electrified road in 2024 ahead of the company’s first EV slated to arrive in 2028 as a crossover.
