Lamborghini is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the roadgoing, race-inspired Veneno, which has made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show.
The car is based on the Aventador, and features a 6.5-litre V12, with four-wheel drive and the same seven-speed auto box. Power is up from 690bhp in the Aventador to 740bhp, and the top speed improves from 217mph to 220mph.
The Veneno uses a carbon fibre tub that’s much the same as the one in the Aventador, but now every single body panel is also made of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic. On the Aventador, they’re carbon fibre or aluminium.
The body is designed to mimic a race car’s aerodynamics, and at first glance the Veneno looks like an Audi Le Mans entry. The lights sit on pontoons, while the rear converges in to a large adjustable aerodynamic wing and central fin.
Only three examples of the Veneno will be built, with each costing £2.6million plus tax. Each is metallic grey and is individually painted with red, white or green accents. Only the prototype seen at Geneva wears all three colours to make the Italian flag.

wow, that's a terrible name for a car! Who chose Veneno??
3m?!!! aventador anyday please. have to say that is butt ugly for a lambo, the rear looks like badly done scaffolding, yep we are talking builders arse butt ugly!
Why, because that's the noise the engine makes of course!
its looks like an ugly caddy
You can say whatever you like, but when you'll see one of these driving next to you, you'll still be amazed. I think it's very Lamborghini, and that's not a bad thing. I happened to like its look very much. it's supposed to look like nothing else, and I truly believe it does.
MENTAL, COOL, UGLY LAMBO BATMOBILE, AMAZING BUT I MUCH PREFER THE AVENTADOR SPIDER THAT'S A WORK OF ART OR THE NEW FERRARI ENZO, THERE BOTH MUCH BETTER LOOKING & ALOT CHEAPER & THE FERRARI IS MORE POWERFULL & FASTER. CRAZY £2.4M I'D RATHER A BUGATTI VEYRON. FOR £2.4M YOU COULD HAVE A STANDARD BUGATTI VEYRON AT £1M. A NEW FERRARI ENZO AT £1M & A AVENTADOR SPIDER AT AROUND £325.000.
THEY SHOULD OF CALLED IT AVENTRETARDOR.
CAN YOU PLEASE STOP TYPING IN CAPS LOCKS ON EVERY POST. ITS ANNOYING!!!!
On topic, Can't sat I like it but might grow on me.
I have to agree with you on that score - it looks like a 7 year old assembked it with a Meccano set!
