The Veneno Roadster is a limited edition version of the Lamborghini Veneno, with production capped at nine units for 2014. It celebrates 50 years of Lamborghini automobiles. Based on the Lamborghini Aventador, the Veneno was developed to celebrate 50 years of Italian car manufacturer Lamborghini. The Venenos design is a major departure from the earlier styling of Lamborghini models. The Veneno retained a carbon-fibre monocoque frame, along with aluminum front and rear subframes, from the Lamborghini Aventador, together with a pushrod suspension.
The Veneno also features the racing chassis, which features an integrated pushrod suspension and damper units. The car uses Pirelli P Zero tires, with twenty-inch wheels at the front and twenty-two-inch wheels in the rear. The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is powered by a twelve-cylinder, 6.5-liter engine, equipped with an incredibly quick-shifting five-mode ISR gearbox, permanent four-wheel drive, and a racing-spec chassis featuring a pushrod suspension and a horizontal spring/damper package. The Lamborghini Veneno draws power from the naturally aspirated V12, the Lamborghinis flagship engine, which is capable of producing 740 hp at 8,400 RPM.
The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is characterised by its optimum aerodynamics, in order to ensure stability on the high-speed turns, and to behave as a racing prototype. It is not surprising that Lamborghini named the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster after one of the strongest, fastest, most aggressive combat horses to ever live. Sporting the Aventadors 650-hp naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12, the Veneno Roadster hits a top speed of 355km/h (221mph).
Lamborghini has also unveiled the Veneno Coupe, a limited-production, three-vehicle supercar built around the Aventador platform. One year later, in December 2014, Lamborghini formally unveiled the Veneno Roadster in Abu Dhabi, aboard Italian carrier Carafe. When Lamborghini unveiled the Veneno at the Geneva motor show in 2013, the outcome stirred up an expected reaction.
When the Veneno was launched at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the price tag was set at $4,000,000, making it one of the most expensive production cars in the world, though since there were only three customer cars, that makes the word production somewhat ill-placed. Created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Lamborghini, this Aventador-based, limited-production supercar has an initial pricing of $4,000,000, making it one of the most expensive production cars in the world. In reality, Veneno is a development of Aventador, introduced as a limited-production vehicle to commemorate the marques 50th anniversary.
While heavily based on Aventador styling, the Veneno retained its unique qualities of Lamborghini Veneno, making it a one-of-a-kind special edition. The Veneno Roadster features unique alloy wheels, the Rosso Veneno (red) exterior color, and 2-bucket seats made from forged composites, with carbon-fiber weaved leather upholstery. The Veneno Roadster is therefore incontrovertibly a Lamborghini; it sticks strongly to the coherent design philosophy of all of SantAgata Bolognese Super Sports cars.
Only 4 coupes and 9 Roadsters are made by Lamborghini, and they include a limited-production Aventador-based supercar. Well, alas, there were only 20 coupes and 20 roadsters made available for sale, and those were snapped up before Lamborghini Centenario even made its public debut. Only five examples of the coupe version were ever made, two staying in Lamborghinis hands, while three were sold to customers.
Earlier this year in Geneva, Lamborghini unveiled its newest mega-car flagship — the super-rare Veneno — with just three units ever set to be produced, for a staggering EUR3m, or about $3.9m. At EUR3.3 million (about $4.52 million), assuming that not all have been sold by now (which is certainly the case), you may be able to nab yourself one of only nine Lamborghini Veneno Roadsters that ever get made. The Lamborghini Veneno (only three of them will be made, and already spoken for) is going to drain $3.9 million out of each Veneno buyers bank account.
While equally fabulist like the radical 740-hp Veneno, the Roadster will be three times less rare, thanks to the nine-car production run, but it is also pricier, at $4.5 million. You can get the regular Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, which is pretty darn close to the exact car, for one-tenth of the price of a Veneno roadster. Even the comparably limited-edition 2008 Lamborghini Reventon falls well short, at a somewhat higher price, at the most recent sales figure of $1.375M.
When Lamborghini invited Antoine Dominique to purchase a Veneno, the car had not yet been built. 2 For himself, it went to Lamborghini owner Long Island-based Antoine Dominic. Even after Veneno was delivered, it was left sitting in his Bespoke Motor Group dealerships showroom, drawing awestruck and Lamborghini pilgrims from all over.
Lamborghinis goal for the Veneno was to build an approximate replica of the sports-racing prototype, that was still street-legal, and this involved making significant changes from the styling of Lamborghinis earlier models. The Aventador was launched at the 2011 Geneva motor show, replacing the ageing Murcielago as Lamborghinis flagship model. Designed by Filippo Perini, the new mid-engined coupe borrowed heavily from the Lambos limited-edition Reventon and their concept Estoque.
Well, the script has been turned now, with the official details of the new supercar, Veneno, released with only hours to go until it makes its debut in Geneva. If Lamborghinis unveiling of the 740-hp, triple-decker-powered, radically-inspired Veneno hypercar at this years Geneva Auto Show was about as eye-catching as anything Miley Cyrus has done, it is safe to call out the Roadster version seen here as the Saturday Night Live equivalent of Cyruss jubilant Saturday Night Live appearance.
