Lamborghini Veneno!
Oh, It sure is a mean and bold looking machine! The Lamborghini Veneno is here and nobody better be standing it is way. Torero....

Lamborghini is evolving its styling language, and it’s more evident than ever in the Veneno shown at the Geneva auto show.

Based on the Aventador LP700-4, it will be built in exactly three units, plus the company's demonstrator car.

What is the reason for showing another supercar, given that Lamborghini has not yet delivered its ultra-low-volume Sesto Elemento to customers?

It's the company's 50th birthday, which it celebrates in May. And the Veneno—named after "one of the strongest and most aggressive fighting bulls ever," as Lamborghini informs us—presents the perfect way to celebrate.

The interior is largely carried over from the Aventador and is clad in carbon fiber. The Veneno is fitted with Pirelli P Zero tires on 20-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels in the rear. Center-locking hubs allow for quicker changes—and they look great.

The Lamborghini Veneno is named after a fighting bull that reportedly killed a matador in 1914 (surprisingly the murder was committed with rat poison), and man if that isn’t a fitting moniker for an amazing machine. The 6.5-liter V12 engine turns out an insane 750 horsepower and a top speed of 220 miles per hour.
The seven speed transmission and full-time all-wheel-drive are also nice, but the stunning design and the fact that the entire chassis is made from carbon fiber reinforced plastics is really what gets you to the $3.9 million price tag. Oh, and there are only three of these in the world, so… arriba!
