The Lamborghini Veneno, which is built on the Aventador platform, was launched to celebrate Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary. Revealed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, it came with a staggering price of $4 million, making it one of the priciest production cars globally.
Lamborghini aimed to design the Veneno like a racing prototype while ensuring it remained street-legal, leading to significant design changes compared to previous models. Although the Veneno retained the Aventador’s carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, aluminum sub-frames, and push-rod suspension, its exterior underwent significant modifications to boost aerodynamics and downforce.
The Veneno features a sizable adjustable rear wing made of carbon fiber, along with center-lock alloy wheels designed with turbine-like carbon rings to help cool the carbon ceramic brakes. It rides on Pirelli P-Zero tires, and while its interior closely resembles that of the Aventador, it includes ‘carbon skin’ upholstery from the Aventador J.
The Veneno is powered by a modified version of the 6.5-liter V12 engine found in the Aventador. This enhanced engine includes larger air intakes and a revamped exhaust system, increasing its output to 740 horsepower. The vehicle maintains its seven-speed semi-automatic transmission, which has been refined with a new ‘track’ option to improve performance on the race circuit.
The Lamborghini Veneno boasts an impressive maximum speed of 221 mph and can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. The company produced only four units of this model: one was retained by Lamborghini for the Geneva Show (chassis zero), while the other three were sold to customers.
