Last Lamborghini Aventador Coupe

Friends, the end of an automotive era is upon us. Or rather, it'salmostupon us. The car you see here is the final Lamborghini Aventador coupe to come fromSant'Agata Bolognese, though technically, it hasn't been built just yet. That didn't stop interested parties from bidding this Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae well beyond the seven-figure mark. When the hammer dropped, this special Lambo sold for $1,603,125.

That hefty price doesn't simply include the car, however.Lamborghinihas entered the world of non-fungible tokens – NFTs – by partnering with artists Krista Kim and Steve Aoki, as well as the INVNT GROUP. They created a one-of-one NFT that features a digital version of the real-life car, placed into a digital world resembling Mars. Yes, we're talking about the planet, but it's a digital world where the sky isn't remotely the limit because hey,there is no sky.

Kim and Aoki didn't merely create the NFT for this specialAventador. They worked with Lamborghini's Ad Personam customization program on the exterior finish and interior trim of the actual car, taking a minimalist approach to make it as unique as the NFT. The paint is a mix of Blue Nethuns and Nero Noctis that fades from a lighter shade on the front to pure black at the rear.

More Lamborghini NFTs:

Inside is awash with black surfaces and orange trim, though the orange also has a gradient effect similar to the exterior. It's inspired by "the Mars Metaverse Sunset" which presumably is part of the NFT. We saypresumablybecause the only person seeing it is the Lambo's owner and associated parties. However, the video below does offer a sample of the digital project.

In addition to the car and the NFT, the buyer of thisAventador Utimaeis awarded all kinds of VIP treatment from Lamborghini. That includes exclusive previews of future limited-edition Lamborghini models, an exclusive invite to activities with the local Lambo dealership, a private tour of the Lamborghini Museum, and a meet/greet with the NFT artists.

As for the car, it will be built later this year and should be in the buyer's hands by September.

Fuku-Shiva
The term “Fuku” refers to fortune or good luck. “Shiva” refers to the Hindu deity who represents strongly polar qualities, both severe and delicate. On a beach inspired by adventures on Phi Phi island in Thailand, three youths cavort. Two are representational figures and the third is psychologically rendered. A dynamic relationship ensues between the triad; a reciprocity of active and passive states. The boy on the right engages in maneuvers of evasion, defense, and is dressed in a speedo which reiterates the colors and symbolism of the caution tape on the left and upper right frame of the composition. In concurrent reaction the psychedelic figure shoots out a rocket powered paper airplane. The nude boy seated in the froth and sand approaches in passive repose, and is met with active attention but equal physical reserve by the psychedelic being. Perhaps the most naked figure is also the least representational. Looming large, dynamic, and active, it engages its companions playfully. Various symbols interject into the otherwise naturalistic scene, most notably a beach ball and two contaminated barrels nested in the sand. The upright barrel reads “FukuShima” in Kanji. The barrel laying down reads “Dharma”. To the left the scene is bounded by caution tape, reiterating the danger of the nuclear waste while also hosting alien archetypes, whose presence, as is the nature of these entities, runs up and just behind the consciousness of the psychedelic figure’s eggshell-like skull.
