As the last Lamborghini V12 rolled off the assembly line in October, we look back at how the naturally aspirated V12 engine has been at the heart of Lamborghini’s most prestigious product lines since 1963. In fact, to date just two designs have been produced for the super sports cars. The first, essentially a racing engine that was made more “civilized” for road use, was designed by Giotto Bizzarri. It made its debut in the first Lamborghini, the 350 GT. The second engine, designed from scratch but with the main technical concepts unchanged, was introduced in the Aventador which was launched in 2011. This was a significant technological step forward for the company, setting new standards in terms of power and reliability of the Lamborghini V12.
