When it comes to rare super exotics, very few automobiles can generate as much excitement as Lamborghini. Model after model, the Italian marque has built a powerful legacy of producing growling supercars that provide adrenaline-pumping acceleration, eye-popping top speed, and captivating looks that get rave reviews.
In this list, we've pulled together 10 of the fastest Lamborghinis ever made based on their ability to go from a standstill to 60 mph. Whether your focus is on style or thrills, these well-engineered exotic sports cars will make your jaw hit the floor.
10 Lamborghini Veneno – 221 MPH – 0-60 MPH In 2.8 Seconds
The Lamborghini Veneno is ultra-rare (only 13 units were built; 3 coupes and 9 roadsters), and you're only likely to catch the briefest of glimpses of it, since it accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds.
First developed in 2013 to commemorate Lamborghini's 50th birthday, this Aventador-based limited edition car is equipped with a 6.5-liter V12 – a Lamborghini staple – that generates 740 hp and 509 lb-ft of torque. The car's monocoque is made up entirely of carbon fiber. This, alongside the various motorsport-inspired aerodynamic design elements, help ensure that this road-legal race car can go as fast as 221 mph.
9 Lamborghini Huracan STO – 193 MPH – 0-60 MPH In 2.7 Seconds
A combination of flawless aerodynamics, lightweight construction, and advanced powertrain engineering make the Huracan STO a fantastic road-legal race car.
This track-oriented Lambo features a 5.2-liter V10 engine generating 630 horsepower and 417-lb-ft of torque, with output finding its way to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. From a standing start, the 2022 Huracan STO reaches 60 mph in 2.7 seconds on the way to a top speed of 193 mph.

8 Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae – 202 MPH – 0-60 MPH In 2.7 Seconds
The 2022 Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae is the last of its kind and the most powerful variant of the Aventador. It closed the curtains and dimmed the lights on what has been 11 eventful years for the model, with a boisterous 769-hp naturally aspirated V12 engine that allows owners to reach 60 mph in 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph.
Only 600 units (350 coupes and 250 roadsters) of the Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae have been built.
7 Lamborghini Centenario – 217 MPH – 0-60 MPH In 2.7 Seconds
In 2016, Lamborghini's founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini, turned 100. In order to pay a posthumous tribute to him and his legacy, the Sant'Agata Bolognese-based marque created a special edition Lamborghini Centenario. The result is a cutting-edge sports car that delivers a pure adrenaline experience.
Based on the Aventador LP 750-4 SuperVeloce, the Centenario is the first Lamborghini to feature three exhausts, rear-wheel steering, and a touchscreen (10.1-inch diagonal unit). As you'd expect, given its origin, the Centenario's engine is a 6.5-liter V12 that develops 759 horsepower. That's enough for this raging bull to sprint to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds and reach an impressive top speed of 217 mph.

6 Lamborghini Countach LPI – 221 MPH – 0-60 MPH In 2.6 Seconds
If you thought that a 0-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds was fast, think again because the Countach LPI rockets to 60 mph even faster in 2.6 seconds. That's in addition to the 221 mph Lamborghini top speed record.
Of course, for a car that revived Lamborghini's legendary Countach nameplate, output is also substantial, with the mid-engine hybrid-electric sports car putting out an astonishing 802 horsepower, thanks to a 6.5-liter V12 paired with an electric motor.
5 Lamborghini Huracan EVO AWD – 202 MPH – 0-60 MPH In 2.5 Seconds
Between its well-judged chassis, sleek, muscular details, and 5.2-liter V10 engine, the Lamborghini Huracan EVO is designed to get your pulse racing every time.
The powertrain puts out 631 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, and thanks to the AWD, navigating precarious terrain should be much easier. The 2020 Lamborghini Huracan EVO AWD sprints to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and achieves a top speed of 202 mph.

4 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ – 217 MPH – 0-60 MPH In 2.5 Seconds
Six minutes and 44.97 seconds – that was the lap time achieved by the Lamborghini Aventador Super Veloce Jota (SVJ) around the famous Nürburgring track in Germany in 2018. That's more than two seconds faster than a Porsche 911 GT2 RS could manage (6:47.3). The record not only made the Aventador SVJ the fastest car over the Nürburgring at the time, but it also allowed Lamborghini to reclaim the crown the Huracan Performante lost to the GT2 RS in September 2017.
Right on that track, it became clear that a high-quality machine had well and truly arrived. The Aventador SVJ's exceptional performance is ensured by a 6.5-liter V12 that develops 759 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque. The SVJ also gets standard all-wheel-drive, a seven-speed automated-manual transmission, and a four-wheel-steering system for sharper chassis responses. These would contribute to a brief Lamborghini Aventador SVJ 0-60 mph time of 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 217 mph.
3 Lamborghini Sian – 220 MPH – 0-60 MPH In 2.5 Seconds
The Sian is Lamborghini's first production hybrid car. It features a 6.5-liter V12 and a 48-volt electric motor that combine for 808 horsepower – making it the most powerful production Lamborghini ever. Alone, the naturally aspirated V12 provides a whopping 774 horsepower, while the electric motor contributes 34 horses.
Of course, being a Lamborghini, the Sian is not for the faint-hearted. This car allows owners to zoom through the streets, thanks to its rapid regenerative braking and acceleration. From a standstill to 60 mph is reached in 2.5 seconds, making it one of the fastest Lamborghinis in the world. Its top speed is an estimated 220 mph.

2 Lamborghini Huracan Performante – 202 MPH – 0-60 MPH In 2.4 Seconds
The Performante is not just another Huracan; it is a raging bull that fulfills the high-performance sports car pedigree for which Lamborghini is renowned, thanks to its beauty, speed, sharpness, and athleticism.
The Performante is equipped with the same engine as the standard Huracan, a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 that produces 631 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. That power flows smoothly through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission to all four wheels. Sleekly aerodynamic and very lightweight, this Lambo sprints to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds.
1 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento – 221 MPH – 0-60 MPH In 2.4 Seconds
The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is the fastest Lamborghini in the world. That's thanks to its lightweight construction (the entire car weighs just 2,202 lbs) and mighty V10 engine.
The mill produces 570 horsepower, allowing the car to reach 60 mph in 2.4 seconds and a top speed of 221 mph. Although it helped keep Lamborghini's proud legacy of creating fast, well-made cars alive with its lightning-quick performance, the Sesto Elemento is not street approved.
