Lamborghini got so chic that its CEO declared to not ever attend any traditional car shows. Then the pandemic happened. Never say never, remember? The 2021 Auto Shanghai in China was the automaker's perfect chance to publicly display their newly unveiled Essenza SCV12. Just like many other automaker brands, Lamborghini brought its most beautiful and exotic cars developed in the last years. The show's attendees can see the Essenza SCV12, Huracan STO, Huracan EVO Fluo Capsule, and Urus.

Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 was unveiled last summer and is a track-only supercar showing details from previously Miura Jota and Diablo GTR. This supercar is limited to 40 units. Despite having a beasty spirit, the Essenza was developed accordingly with the FIA prototype safety standards. The new-gen carbon fiber monocoque chassis doesn’t feature an internal roll cage but has advanced aerodynamics to generate higher downforce levels than a GT3 racer. Remember that this Lamborghini sports the most powerful naturally aspirated V12 engine delivering more than 818 horsepower coupled to a six-speed sequential gearbox and rear-wheel drive.

Lamborghini Huracan STO is a real racer that stepped for the first time in Chinese ground. Sporting exterior panels made of carbon fiber and updated aerodynamic - this one is powered by a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine. Delivering up to 631 horsepower and 565 Newtone-meters, the racer sprints 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in just 3.0 seconds and a 193 mph (310 km/h) top speed. 

The Lamborghini Huracan EVO Fluo Capsule was given to us last fall and debuts in a stunning Verde Shock exterior for the Asia-Pacific region. The heart of the Huracán EVO Fluo Capsule is a naturally aspirated V10 engine that can reach the 0-62 (0-100 km/h) sprint in just 2.9 seconds, and the top speed at 201 mph (325 km/h). 

The last Lamborghini you can see at the auto show in Shanghai this year is the Lamborghini Urus. This crossover is the most popular because is the brand's declaration of freedom able to conquer any terrain - track, sand, ice, gravel, or rocks. Aimed to unlock any road, you get to experience new levels of your personality. The Shanghai exposed model features a matte Bianco Monocerus exterior, the optional 23-inch Shiny Black Taigete rims, and red brake calipers.

You can also take a glimpse at Lamborghini's display of ‘Brand Extension’ at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show.
