The last Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae sold for $ 1.6 million

Lamborghini’s decision that, from 2024, all its models will get a hybrid version, meant that some models will be produced for the last time. So the last Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae was sold before it left the production line.

Lamborghini recently entered the world of NFT, so the price of $ 1,603,125, for which the Aventador was sold, included not only the car but also NFT. The Italian company, in collaboration with artists Christ Kim and Steve Aoki and INVNT GROUP, has created a unique NFT that contains a digital version of a real car. When designing the car, a minimalist approach was chosen to make the car as unique as NFT.

The last Aventador was finished in a mix of Nethuns blue and Noctis black. The black interior with orange details fits perfectly with the combination of exterior colors. It is interesting that the car, apart from the workers, was seen only by the buyer.

Lamborghini also prepared a gift for the customer in the form of various types of VIP treatments, which includes an exclusive insight into the future of the model, activities with a local distributor, a private tour of the Lamborghini Museum, and a meeting with NFT artists.

Tesla Model 3 will cover 9,500 miles using solar panels

To encourage people to care about the environment and climate change, scientists in Australia are trying to cover a distance of about 9,500 miles by car using solar panels. It is part of the Charge Around Australia project, and the panels will be mounted on the Tesla Model 3.

The car will use 18 printed solar panels and their inventor Paul Dastoor said: “This is actually an ideal test in which we will get information on how we can use and power technology in other remote locations, such as space.” This seeks to test not only the durability of the panels but also their potential performance for other applications.

The material used to make the panels also plays an important role. It is a PET plastic used to make wine labels, and costs less than $ 8 per square meter.

The project will last 84 days, and during the trip they will visit 70 schools to introduce students to environmental protection and what the future holds. Dastoor also said that he hopes that by using the panel for charging an electric car, he will motivate Australians to think about electric vehicles.
