Lamborghini’s New Supercar – The Lamborghini Veneno

What do you have in mind if we tell you Lamborghini is launching a new supercar very soon? If you are planning to buy the latest supercar from Lamborghini, it is time to break your piggy bank and see how much savings you have because Lamborghini is launching a super supercar – the Lamborghini Veneno. None of the supercar makers have the idea to build an ultimate sports car like Lamborghini does. The Lamborghini Veneno is supposed to be launched at the upcoming 83^rd Geneva International Motor Show which will be held on 7-17 March, 2013. However, thanks to the power of internet, the image of the Veneno is leaked a few days before the Motor Show and here we have got some information about the car.

Lamborghini Veneno

The Veneno was built to celebrate Lamborghini’s 50^th anniversary (Lamborghini was founded on 30 October 1963). From the leaked images, we believe the car shares the same chassis with Lamborghini Aventador. Thanks to some information collected from Autogen, we came to know that the Veneno is powered by a 6.5-liter V-12 engine associated to a 7-speed automatic manual transmission. This combination has the capability to push the car up to a top speed of 220 mph (354.056 km/h). Perhaps we will have to update the record of fastest car in the world once this car went into production. Up to date, such an ultimate sports car has received three bookings before it goes into production. According to some other sources, the three pre-booked Lamborghini Veneno will be in red, white, or green touches to match the Italian flag. As for the price tag, the Veneno is priced at $4 million. If you are planning to buy one, it is time to add more money to your piggy bank before you break it. More pictures and specifications of the car will be updated soon.
