Lamborghini has been teasing its entry into the world of NFTs for over a month. But now, the automaker has officially announced its first NFT drop.

⠀

Lamborghini will auction off a series of linked digital and physical NFTs that it produced in collaboration with Swiss artist Fabian Oefner, as well as NFT Pro and Sotheby’s.

⠀

The digital component of the NFT is a photograph designed by Oefner that depicts a Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae lifting off toward the stars. Oefner created a total of five images, all within seconds from each other, showing the car's parts shooting away from the chassis like the exhaust flame of a rocket.

⠀

With each NFT, the auction winners will get a set of carbon fiber “space keys” that the company sent to the International Space Station back in 2020 as a part of a joint research project. The space keys will come in a special case engraved with unique QR codes that correspond to the accompanying digital artwork.

⠀

The auction for the first of the five NFTs will take place on Lamborghini’s NFT website on February 1st at 4 PM CET. Each auction will last 75 hours and 50 minutes – the time it took Apollo 11 to reach the moon.
