At the 2022 Festival of Speed, Lamborghini staged a deliberate send-off for its V12 and V10 engines in front of over 450 owners.
Lamborghini described the 2022 Goodwood weekend as a deliberate celebration of its naturally-aspirated engines, staged for over 450 owners and VIPs in a hospitality lounge adjacent to Ristorante 1963.
Lamborghini's naturally-aspirated engines were not just road-car powerplants but the foundation of a customer racing ecosystem built by Squadra Corse.
The Huracán Tecnica was positioned as a bridge product, combining fun-to-drive performance with everyday drivability as the last naturally-aspirated Huracán variant without the STO's track-focused compromises.
Stephan Winkelmann attended alongside other board directors, signaling that this was not a routine regional activation but a company-level statement about the brand's direction.
Owners browsing the Essenza SCV12 or the Super Trofeo EVO2 were being reminded that Lamborghini offers a racing ecosystem they can participate in directly, a pipeline from road car ownership to track programs.
Lamborghini returned to Goodwood in 2023 with the Revuelto and in 2024 with the Urus SE, confirming that the 2022 edition was the last time its entire Goodwood presence was defined by naturally-aspirated power.
Lamborghini sent the Aventador Ultimae, Huracán STO, and Huracán EVO up the famous hill climb while the newly announced Huracán Tecnica sat on static display beside Squadra Corse race cars.
Winkelmann framed the weekend around celebrating aspirated engines "even as we embrace a future heralding exciting technologies and engineering solutions" on the path toward electrification.
Goodwood is a venue where 150,000 spectators can feel an engine note in their chest, and Lamborghini chose exactly that stage to let its naturally-aspirated era end on its own terms.
