THE ALL NEW LAMBORGHINI VENENO
A tribute to automobil LAMBORGHINI on the occasion of its 50th birthday , and the unveiling of the new bull , the LAMBORGHINI VENENO at the GENEVA motor show .
The name , Veneno according to the company was the name of a particularly bad-tempered and fearsomely fast Spanish fighting bull who gained notoriety in1914 for goring bullfighter Jose Sanchez Rodriguez to death . A vicious pedigree for a vicious machine .
Derived from the overachieving Aventador , the arrow shaped Veneno pushes the performance envelope even further. The car makes use of the Aventador's mid-mounted 6.5-litre V12, bumped from 700hp to 739hp, and drives all four wheels through a 7-speed automated manual gearbox its chassis , featuring an inboard push rod suspension bolted to carbon fire monocoque structure is pure prototype racer, but LAMBORGHINI is proud to note that Veneno meets all worldwide road-car safety and registration requirements . Top speed is a breezy 220mph .(For those keeping track , the Aventador is good for 217mph.)
The Veneno is a sequel of sorts to the Gallardo-derived , and similarly futuristic , Sesto elemem=nto show car from 2010, But whereas Lamborghini said it would crafy 20 examples of the Sesto Elemento , the automaker plans to build just three Venenos during 2013, priced at a cool 3 million euros each (at writing , about $4.1 million , plus tax ) And before you get your hopes up , the company has already found buyers for its triplets , save the one on the GENEVA motor show stand - chasis number 0 , whose future , tp quote Lamborghini , has not been determined yet .
