Lamborghini Creates SC20 One-Off for One Lucky Customer

Fancy a copy of Lamborghini’s new—and very, very open-topped—SC20 barchetta as a late holiday gift? Tough luck: the automaker only built the one. But if you have the means to commission a Squadra Corse-designed one-off of your own, Lambo can probably set you up.

The SC20 follows the SC18 Alston, another one-off commissioned by a customer and designed by Squadra Corse. The SC18 appeared in 2018, and surely inspired the SC20’s buyer to contact the company and inquire about a similar project.

The SC20 is one of the more ruthlessly angular supercars to emerge from the automaker—ever. It has a vaguely insectile exterior look, but the tough contemporary lines are tempered somewhat by the lack of a windshield in the design, which recalls classic Italian roadsters and racers of the middle of the last century.

According to the company, the design harkens back to 2013’s one-off Aventador J barchetta, along with the Veneno, which appeared in the same year; 2013 was also, it turns out, the year Lamborghini launched the Squadra Corse custom division. The SC20’s naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 is borrowed from the Aventador SVJ, and produces the same 770 horsepower; it receives updated aero, however. The body is carbon fiber, as are many of the adjustable aero components, so the car’s power-to-weight ratio is dramatic. The SVJ’s 0-60 time was conservatively stated to be 2.8 seconds by Lamborghini.
