It is the fiftieth anniversary year for the company, to celebrate they are building the Lamborghini Veneno

Automobili Lamborghini are presenting the Lamborghini Veneno at the 2013 Geneva Motorshow for the first time.

Only three will be built each car costing  €3million euros and hey, all three are already sold. The Veneno will features a 6.5 litre twelve cylinder engine matched to an extremely fast-shifting 7-speed ISR transmission with 5 driving modes and permanent all-wheel drive. The racing chassis with pushrod suspension and horizontal spring/damper units completes the picture.

The Veneno accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds and the top speed for this street-legal racing car stands at 355 km/h.

Above all, however, the Veneno benefits from the very special expertise that  Lamborghini possesses in the development and execution of carbon-fiber materials – the complete chassis is produced as a CFRP monocoque, as is the outer skin of this extreme sports car. The inside, too, features innovative, Lamborghini-patented materials such as Forged Composite and CarbonSkin.

Fully in keeping with the tradition of the brand, the name of the Veneno is the name of a legendary fighting bull.
Not just a bull but one of the strongest and most aggressive fighting bulls ever. He is also famous for being one of the fastest bulls in the history of bullfighting. His name became popular in 1914, when he fatally wounded the famous torero José Sánchez Rodríguez during the bullfight in the arena Sanlúcar de Barrameda’s, Andalusia, Spain.

The Lamborghini Veneno celebrates its first public appearance at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The vehicle on show is Car ‘0’, the Lamborghini test vehicle. Its future has not been determined yet, but it will allow Lamborghini to continue its activity of testing and innovation, both on the road and on the race track. The trilogy made of three unique vehicles will be produced in the course of the year 2013 and handed over to their future owners.
