The Lamborghini Veneno (, lit. 'poison') is a limited production high performance sports car manufactured by Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini. Based on the Aventador, the Veneno was developed to celebrate Lamborghini's 50th anniversary. It was introduced at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. When introduced, it had a price of US$4,000,000, making it one of the most expensive production cars in the world.[3]
Specifications
The engine is a development of the Aventador's 6.5-litre V12 and generates a power output of 750 PS at 8,400 rpm and 690 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. The increase in power was achieved by enlarging the air intakes and modifying the exhaust system.[4][5]
The Veneno is Lamborghini's interpretation of a racing prototype built for the road. The front of the car is designed for maximum airflow and improved downforce.
