The Monaco lot was subject to VAT on the full purchase price and restricted to export and trade buyers; that context weighs on the result.

## A customer car built by the racing department

Squadra Corse developed the SCV12 before Lamborghini disclosed the Essenza name in July 2020. Centro Stile drew the three-piece body around racing-prototype aero rather than a road-car package.

The carbon monocoque dispenses with an internal steel cage yet was developed to FIA prototype safety rules. The X-trac gearbox closes the rear of the structure and carries the pushrod suspension.

All 40 buyers entered an owner programme beginning in 2021. Lamborghini offered storage at Sant'Agata, technical support and coaching from drivers including Emanuele Pirro and Marco Mapelli.

| Highlight | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| More load than mass | At 250 km/h the body makes 1'200 kg of downforce. Lamborghini states that its aero efficiency matches a GT3 car while the absolute load is higher. |
| The gearbox carries the car | The transverse six-speed X-trac is a structural member. The rear pushrod suspension bolts directly to it, reducing the number of structures between tyre and monocoque. |
| Ownership stays at the factory | Lamborghini built a dedicated hangar at Sant'Agata, with one bay and webcam per car. The programme supplies transport, engineers and driver coaching at selected circuits; road registration was never part of it. |
