Introduced at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the Lamborghini Centenario was designed to celebrate the centenary of its founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Breaking away from the brand’s tradition of using bullfighting nomenclatures, the Centenario highlighted advanced technology and innovation, drawing inspiration from the Aventador SVJ. It featured a carbon-fiber monocoque structure and sub-frames borrowed from the Aventador, and was powered by a modified 6.5L V12 engine producing an impressive 759 horsepower. This power was transmitted through a paddle-shift seven-speed ISR gearbox along with an electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system.
The Centenario’s design, while echoing that of the Aventador, introduced innovative aerodynamics. Its entire carbon-fiber body was equipped with a twin-plane front splitter to improve downforce and airflow, along with sill-mounted winglets, a racing-style rear diffuser, and an active rear wing aimed at boosting stability and downforce. Significantly, the Centenario featured rear-wheel steering for the first time in a Lamborghini, enhancing its maneuverability in tight spaces and stability at high speeds. The interior was equally impressive, incorporating a 10.1-inch portrait touchscreen with navigation, telemetry, and lap-timing capabilities.
With only 40 units produced—divided into 20 coupés and 20 roadsters—this Italian masterpiece seldom appears on the market. For dedicated Lamborghini enthusiasts, this 2017 Lamborghini Centenario available through ISSIMI is an opportunity not to be missed. This particular model boasts a custom finish, inspired by the Sesto Elemento, which added over €300,000 to its cost. The carbon-fiber exterior is complemented by a black leather and Alcantara interior, enhanced with red stitching and accents.
The center console of the Lamborghini Centenario showcases exposed satin carbon fiber and features an innovative 10.1-inch touchscreen. This advanced infotainment system marks Lamborghini’s entry into a new era, incorporating telemetry and track data recording that aligns seamlessly with the vehicle’s impressive performance and state-of-the-art technology. Originally sold through Lamborghini of Hong Kong, this particular unit has been exceptionally well-maintained and remains almost entirely original, boasting a mere 61 kilometers on the clock.
