As crazy as 2020 has been, some of the most recent releases targeted towards the top end of the wealth game are just as crazy. The new trend in the supercar field are roofless, windscreen less supercars with huge power and designs that push the boundaries of opinions.
Lamborghini have always been at the forefront of crazy, wallposter, screensaver beauties and not one to be left behind, the Sant'Agata manufacturer has surprised us all with the new Lamborghini SC20.
As with the Mclaren Elva, Ferrari Monza SP and Aston Martin V12 Speedster, Lamborghini's take on this current trend takes heavy cues from the current Aventador and the soon to be released, limited edition Sián model.
For those who aren't aware this isn't Lambo's first venture in this area, the Aventador J kicked this off in 2012, heavily based on the standard Aventador using the same engine and designs albeit without a windscreen or fixed roof.
The SC20 however is widely different from the Aventador J, the front lip is more pronounced than any current Aventador model with slight takes from the S, in addition to the carbon fibre 'tooth' style design on the front and a more extended front lip that works its way back to the front wheels.
The parcel shelf effect helps to break up the front lip and works perfectly with the contrast of the paintwork on the release model.
An interesting and debatable part of the make up of the SC20 is the mixture of the design language from the Aventador and the soon to be released Sián. The rear lights are lifted directly from the Sián whilst the position of the exhaust exits and the rear diffuser are strong throwbacks to the Aventador SVJ.
The rear wing is unique in itself, the wing converges with the rear arch, moving upwards and positioning itself to provide the downforce needed to keep 770hp and 720Nm on the road. The rear wings on Lamborghinis have always been uniquely constructed for each model and the SC20 is no different. The shape is different from the Aventador SV, SVJ and Huracan Performante and no doubt has both the functional purpose and the aesthetics to go with it. Check how the grove in the middle of the wing matches a similar slope behind the seats.
The exposed interior is definitely a thing of beauty, the seat colours clearly match the paintwork and exterior design while the use of what looks like plenty of alcantara and no doubt carbon fibre would make this a special place to be in.
The roofless look, strangely suits and the car does not look like it is inherently missing something obvious. The mould from the rear through the door and to the bonnet shows a clean, smooth outline and again makes this masterpiece look 'normal' without a windscreen.
The Lamborghini SC20 is clearly composed to be different, this isn't a car made to look conventional or typical and against the range of windscreen less, roofless options in the market, the SC20 definitely positions itself amongst the best looking and that's before you get to the monster beneath the bonnet...
