The 13 Fastest Lamborghinis: Who Tops the List?

When you think of Lamborghini, you think of extreme performance, dramatic Italian design, and the unmistakable roar of a V10 or V12 engine. But what else comes to mind?

From the moment Ferruccio Lamborghini set out to challenge Ferrari, we know that the brand has been synonymous with one thing: speed. And while every raging bull in the lineup is built for excitement, a select few rise above the rest as the fastest among the fast.

From vintage icons to the new Lamborghini hypercars, the team at iLusso has had the privilege of working with many of these cars firsthand, and today we’re comparing the fastest Lamborghinis ever made (along with some honorable mentions). Let’s get started…

The Top 3 Fastest Lamborghini Models Ever Built

Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae

The Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae is the fastest Lamborghini ever to roll out of Sant’Agata Bolognese’s legendary factory.

This model marks the end of an era as Lamborghini’s last “pure” V12 production model before hybrids take the reins. However, this limited-edition supercar is more than just a swan song; it’s a performance benchmark

It combines the best elements of the Aventador S and SVJ into one final form, and is designed with a single goal in mind: maximum performance. Its naturally aspirated V12 engine roars at high RPMs, and its lightweight carbon-fiber construction helps it slice through air like a missile.

The aerodynamics are tuned for speed and stability, while the all-wheel-drive system ensures grip through every corner. The Ultimae is also extremely rare, with only 600 units produced globally (350 coupes and 250 roadsters).

Overall, it’s not just fast; it’s a future classic and a proper king of high-performance Lamborghinis.

  • Top Speed: 221 mph (356 km/h)
  • Engine: 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12
  • Horsepower: 769 hp
  • 0-60 mph: 2.8 seconds
  • Transmission: Seven-speed ISR gearbox
  • Special Features: Carbon fiber monocoque, advanced aerodynamics, magnetic suspension, pushrod suspension for pinpoint handling.

Lamborghini Veneno

The Veneno was built to celebrate Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary, and it doesn’t hold anything back. It’s a limited-edition hypercar with only a few units ever made, which means each one is a rare piece of rolling art. But make no mistake—this thing is brutally fast.

The Veneno is all about extreme aerodynamics. It features massive air ducts, sharp lines, and active aero components to keep the car stable at high speeds. The carbon-fiber monocoque and lightweight components reduce drag and weight, allowing it to hit insane speeds while staying planted. Driving one is like piloting a spaceship with a V12 soundtrack.

  • Top Speed: 221 mph (355 km/h)
  • Engine: 6.5-liter V12 (naturally aspirated)
  • Horsepower: 740 hp
  • 0-60 mph: 2.8 seconds
  • Special Qualities: Extensive carbon fiber construction, ultra-lightweight body, extreme aerodynamics, limited to just a few coupes and roadsters.

Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4

A futuristic reboot of a legendary name, the Countach LPI 800-4 is a tribute to the original icon of the 1970s and ‘80s, but it’s anything but retro when it comes to performance. Under the skin, it shares DNA with the Sian and Aventador, thanks to its hybridized powertrain and advanced aerodynamics.

It also features a naturally aspirated V12 engine paired with a 48-volt electric motor, delivering all the thrills of an old-school supercar with the responsiveness of new tech.

It’s both a tribute and a technological leap, proving Lamborghini can honor its history while still leading in speed. Not to mention, only 112 units of the LPI 800-4 were produced, making it a rare gem for collectors.

  • Top Speed: 221 mph (355 km/h)
  • Engine: 6.5-liter V12 paired with a 48-volt electric motor
  • Combined Power: 802 hp
  • 0-60 mph: 2.8 seconds
  • Key Features: Iconic wedge shape updated in carbon fiber, hybrid powertrain for instant torque, advanced active aerodynamics, strong nod to the legendary Countach nameplate.
