Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 Is a Race Car Without a Race

Cars
BY MIKE DUFF | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT The fastest Lamborghini offers its billionaire buyers a race-car experience—minus an actual series to compete in. Is it possible to grow bored of Lamborghini's street-legal lineup? We would doubt it, but the very existence of the Essenza SCV12 suggests there are at least some ultrarich thrill seekers who can't find sufficiently spiky adrenaline highs from those models that wear license plates.  The Essenza is not a road car and is produced by Lamborghini's motorsport division. But nor is it a race car, because buyers will not be able to compete in it. Like Ferrari's FXX offerings,…
