For the last month or so, Lamborghini has added some space-age teasers with its usual parade of supercars on social media. In this instance, space-age takes on a literal meaning, as the objects in question have actually been in space. Will these items be offered on an extremely special version of the Aventador or Huracan? In a word, no. It's all part of an NFT project that will give buyers of these items some special artwork. Wait, what?
Say hello to the Lamborghini Space Key. In short, these are five pieces of carbon fiber that went to the International Space Station in 2019, where they were used in some kind of joint research project. Lamborghini was involved, but the supercar company doesn't mention details of the research. In any case, the carbon fiber came back to Lamborghini, which added QR codes to five squares, each linking to an NFT. For those trying to remember what NFT stands for, it's a non-fungible token: basically, an identifying fingerprint for digital media, proving it's the original version.
