One-Offs

Lamborghini Centro Stile took inspiration from other limited edition models to create the Invencible and Autentica. These include the Sesto Elemento, the Reventón and the Veneno.

“We have created two one-off cars with their own unique character, inspired by track days and the high-octane circuit environment,” said Mitja Borkert, Automobili Lamborghini head of design. “They are designed by Lamborghini Centro Stile, exerting maximum creativity on the V12 platform. These one-off designs draw on our unique design DNA while once again elevating our design heritage to a new level.“
