Rare Steampunk Lamborghini Tractor with 36 HP Up for Auction in the UK

One of only five steampunk Lamborghini tractors ever created is now up for auction in the United Kingdom. This rare Centenario Tractor is based on a 1960s Lamborghini DLA35, a classic agricultural machine powered by a 2.2-liter diesel engine.

The tractor was commissioned to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Ferruccio Lamborghini’s birth in 2016, long after his legacy as a tractor manufacturer had given way to his supercar empire. Designed by Italian artist Adler Capelli and supported by the Lamborghini experts at German collector group Klima Lounge, the project merges vintage farming hardware with bold, steampunk-inspired aesthetics.

Under the Hood: A Tractor with 36 HP

Despite its dramatic transformation, the Centenario Tractor retains its original mechanical heart. It features a 2.2-liter, three-cylinder diesel engine producing a modest 36 horsepower (36.5 PS), paired with a manual gearbox. Performance was never the goal—this is a rolling sculpture, not a workhorse.

A Hot Rod on Wheels

The tractor has been radically reimagined with a low-slung, hot-rod-inspired profile. The driver and passenger sit between the massive rear wheels, giving it a sporty, almost Miura-like stance—though far removed from the sleek lines of a supercar. Hand-formed metal panels are left unpainted to develop a natural patina over time, echoing the aging process of vintage tractors still in use across Italian fields.

The craftsmanship includes countless hidden details and multiple Lamborghini badges, adding layers of intrigue for enthusiasts. Despite being fully functional, this is not a machine built for plowing fields. It’s closer to a work of art on wheels.

Exclusivity Comes at a Price

Each of the five Centenario Tractors reportedly sold new for around €1.75 million (approximately $2 million at current exchange rates), placing it firmly in supercar pricing territory. For context, that’s more than the cost of a new Lamborghini Revuelto in the U.S., which retails for around $600,000.

The limited production run and hand-built nature justify the staggering price tag, even for a machine with less power than a typical city car. This particular example has covered only 310 miles (500 km) since its completion in 2020, reinforcing its status as a collector’s piece rather than a working vehicle.

Your Chance to Own a Piece of Lamborghini History

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a Lamborghini that bridges the brand’s agricultural roots with its flair for drama, this may be your only opportunity in the near future. The auction listing is available online, though securing this rare tractor will likely require a budget far beyond the cost of a new Revuelto.
