Lamborghini SC18 Alston Is The Latest Track Supercar By The Company And It Is As Sporty As It Gets
The Lamborghini SC18 Alston has been designed in collaboration with Lambo&rsquos Centro Stile studio primarily for the tracks. The supercar features twelve air intakes on the rear hood which as per the company increase heat exchange and improve the cooling of the V12 engine. This is handled by the ISR Independent Shifting Rod optimized seven-speed gearbox.
Lamborghini is known for making the raddest supercars since its inception. Co-incidentally, that is also the reason for the company¡¯s birth back in 1963, to challenge the then established names like Ferrari. True to its purpose, the company has only been expanding its line-up with one hit product after the next and if in case you thought this was not possible after the Aventador SVJ, think again.
To outdo itself, Lamborghini has this time turned to its Squadra Corse motorsport division and unveiled the first one-off in its history. The Lamborghini SC18 Alston, has been designed in collaboration with Lambo¡¯s Centro Stile studio, primarily for the tracks. However, it is road approved too, meaning you can tame all those horses to boast one on the road if you would like.

Lamborghini opted for a new carbon fibre body for the SC18 Alston, complete with a large carbon fibre wing with three mechanical adjustments to generate optimal downforce on a circuit. This also allowed the Italian firm to keep the weight of the car in check. The SC18 Alston claims a ground clearance of 109 mm.
An even sportier colour scheme has been used on the car to enhance the sportiness. Grigio Daytona (grey) body with details and red screen-printing on the outside, while the Nero Ade (black) Alcantara with Rosso Alala (red) cross-stitching in the cockpit are donned for the exclusive look.
