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.

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.
