The Lamborghini Veneno debuted at the annual Geneva International Motor Show in 2013. The model was launched to mark the company’s fiftieth anniversary.
The car is based on the Aventador, with its engine and carbon-fibre monocoque, but all the exterior body panels have been changed. It has a print run of just 3 units and the name translates from Spanish as ‘Poison’. The car is named after the infamous bull named “Veneno” that killed bullfighter Jose Sanchez Rodriguez in 1914. This is a truly exclusive car, reserved for ‘select collectors’ and sold 12 copies (three coupes and nine roadsters).
At the heart of the Lamborghini Veneno is a rigid carbon fibre monocoque to which composite exterior panels are attached. Beneath the supercar’s striking bodywork is a fully independent pushrod suspension with horizontally mounted passive dampers and springs, as well as pushrods.
