The Lamborghini Edition of the Oppo Find runs on Android 8.1 Oreo, with the company's proprietary ColorOS bolted on top, v5.1 in this case. That is to say, the same software you'd find on the regular Find X. Here, however, you're getting a custom theme to match the look and feel of the rest of the phone.
Aside from the Aventador wallpaper, there's an overall blackness to the interface, with golden accents here and there. The icons for the system apps are entirely custom, while third-party icons are treated to a hexagonal outline.

The rest of the interface is entirely identical to the one on the vanilla Find X. That means a predominantly green on white quick toggles and settings menu, which we find at odds with the Lambo theme. And that's before we get to the inherent oddities of ColorOS - for example, it doesn't let you dismiss a notification with a simple swipe - you need to swipe and then tap the delete button.

The Find X Lamborghini Edition is powered by the Snapdragon 845 chipset - so, same as the plain Find X and pretty much every other high-end droid this year. There are 8GB of RAM on board, though that's also the case on the regular version as well. The Lambo only differs in storage space - 512GB vs. 128/256GB. Predictably, the benchmark scores are virtually the same.

Another bullet in the list of shared hardware between Find Xs is the camera - the Lamborghini Edition features the same hardware as the regular model, which is in turn one of numerous iterations used throughout the portfolio of OnePlus and Oppo. That is to say, it has a secondary rear cam that's yet to justify its existence.
Anyway, the setup consists of a primary 16MP module built around the Sony IMX519 sensor with its 1.22µm pixels. The lens has an f/2.0 aperture and the EXIF data reports the focal length equivalent at 23mm. The secondary module, which should supposedly help in low light, but is in practice only used for depth detection in portrait mode, has a 20MP sensor with 1.0µm pixels which is behind another f/2.0 lens. The selfie cam uses a high-res 25MP sensor mated to an f/2.0 lens.
The camera app is essentially Oppo's rendition of the iOS camera app. A carousel on the bottom lists the available modes, which you can change by tapping on them or swiping on the viewfinder. There's no explicit setting for resolution, it's aspects instead, and it's not clear which is native to the sensor - boo! There's an Expert mode with manual settings for white balance, exposure compensation, ISO, shutter speed and focus distance.
Even though it's the same camera as on the other Find X, we went out and took some photos with the Lamborghini Edition as well - if for no other reason, then at least to be seen with it. As was the case a couple of months ago when we reviewed the original Find X, we enjoyed the vivid colors and the plenty of detail that the 16MP sensor captures.
In low light, the Find X Lamborghini Edition somehow managed to perform slightly worse than what we remember from the non-Lambo. Then again, it could be down to variations in lighting.
When else are we going to get a chance to snap selfies with a Lamborghini phone? We had the opportunity now, so we seized it, and spoiler - same selfies as on the vanilla Find X.
