Earlier this month, the luxury car manufacturer announced its entry into the NFT space. Now, the platform went ahead and gave the community a glance at its very first NFT.

During its first NFT centric announcement, Lamborghini pointed out that it would be launching five exclusive space-themed artwork. The firm’s NFT was formulated by artist Fabian Oefner and is all set to go on auction from 1 February.
Elaborating on its latest project, the car manufacturer tweeted,
Unlike other NFTs, Lamborghini’s NFT collection can be accessed only through a special set of physical Space Keys. The keys curated by the platform will reportedly entail carbon fiber material that Lamborghini previously sent to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2019.
Further detailing its first NFT set, the firm further tweeted,
“An Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae rises above the Earth as a symbol of human space exploration: it’s called Space Time Memory, and it’s our first NFT set ever. The digital artworks, created by Fabian Oefner in collaboration with NFT PRO, will be soon auctioned.”
