The Lamborghini Veneno, based on the Aventador, was unveiled to mark Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary as a car manufacturer. Debuting at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show with a price tag of $4 million, it became one of the world’s most expensive production cars.
Lamborghini’s goal with the Veneno was to create a vehicle resembling a racing prototype, while still being street-legal, which led to a dramatic shift in design from earlier models. The Veneno kept the Aventador’s carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, aluminum sub-frames, and push-rod suspension, but its body was heavily modified to enhance aerodynamics and increase downforce.
A large, adjustable carbon-fiber rear wing and center-lock alloy wheels with turbine-like carbon rings were added to cool the carbon ceramic brakes. Pirelli P-Zero tires were used, and the interior remained similar to the Aventador’s but incorporated ‘carbon skin’ upholstery from the Aventador J.
The Veneno’s engine was an enhanced version of the Aventador’s 6.5-liter V12, with enlarged air intakes and a modified exhaust system, boosting its power to 740 hp. The seven-speed semi-automatic transmission was retained but upgraded with a new ‘track’ setting for better performance on circuits.
The Veneno could reach a top speed of 221 mph and accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. Lamborghini produced only four Venenos: one for the Geneva Show (chassis zero), which the factory kept, and three customer cars.
