It has been developed from the L537 engine, introducing several technical improvements such as a new combustion chamber design and a new electronic control system. The sport car Aventador, with the L539 engine, can reach 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 8.6 seconds. The engine displayed at the Museum has been manufactured in 2015, and then it has been donated by Lamborghini Automobili in 2018.
