There’s wealthy, after which there’s “hey, Lamborghini, make me a customized automobile” wealthy. We do not know a lot concerning the newest super-wealthy particular person with the money to fee a one-off, extravagant Lamborghini. However do know they’ve a son named Alston, therefore, the Lamborghini SC18 Alston.
As for the remainder of the identify, SC stands for Squadra Corsa. The 18 refers back to the yr it was produced, though we needed to wait till the 2019 Goodwood Competition of Velocity for it to interrupt cowl.
The Alston relies on the Aventador SVJ, however the modifications are quite a few. The engine has a modified consumption, which pushes the ability as much as 800 horsepower. A bunch of bodywork modifications embrace a brand new entrance splitter, new rear deck cowl and an adjustable rear wing that, in typical Lamborghini fashion, will be set to alto, medio or brasso, and might ship extra downforce than on the SVJ. A titanium exhaust and a brand new diffuser are additionally available, and we count on these to make their approach to future Lambos quickly.
There are additionally few smaller touches, just like the lights, that may be acknowledged from the Centenario. Flashback to the 2016 Geneva Motor Present, the Centenario was constructed to rejoice the 100th birthday of Ferrucio Lamborghini, the corporate’s founder.
That is the place I often say one thing like, “I will take two,” however just one shall be constructed and I am positively not its purchaser.

Again to the SC18, you is perhaps shocked to be taught it is road-legal. We would not count on to see it within the parking zone of your native grocery retailer anytime quickly, however in concept, you possibly can. Simply watch the bottom clearance — the SC18 sits even decrease to the bottom than the SVJ.
The inside is not fairly as extreme as the outside, with a simplified steering wheel that is fully freed from buttons or switches. It has the identical centrally positioned infotainment display screen that we noticed on the Centenario, and the door pulls are easy leather-based loops. It is exhausting to ever name any a part of a Lamborghini “primary,” however this inside is about as primary as they arrive.
Presumably, that is solely the house owners selection, as a result of from what we perceive concerning the efficiency and dealing with, it is aggressive. Very aggressive. So it stands to purpose that you will wish to preserve targeted on the job in hand in case you take this out for a correct drive. Along with having extra energy than the SVJ, Lamborghini says the SC18 has extra grip and sharper throttle response, too.
We’ll possible by no means know the total particulars of who this automobile belongs to, however contemplating this one-off request actually ups the ante over the already-bonkers SVJ, it is truthful to imagine they will be making good use of it.
