LAMBORGHINI VENENO

LAMBORGHINI VENENO

Top Speed: 221 mph

In celebration of Lamborghini’s 50th birthday, the company created the ultra-expensive and exclusive Veneno. Named after one of the strongest and most aggressive fighting bulls ever, the Veneno is powered by a 6.5 liter V12 that produces 740 horsepower. Only 5 were ever made, 2 for the company and 3 for customers. One of the Venenos, with red accents, went to Antoine Dominic, owner of Lamborghini Long Island. The second, with green accents, went to Kris Singh, a car collector from florida. The third, accented in white, went to an unknown customer in Macau. The Veneno has a top speed of 221 mph, although with only 5 in existence, it probably wouldn’t be wise to ever drive the vehicle that fast. The original production Veneno, dubbed “car zero” resides in the Lamborghini museum.

The top speed of this powerhouse is 220 mph. Air ducts, wings , deflectors, and more wings help keep the aerodynamics in check. The Zonda Revolucion rips down the road, and with the flip of a switch the wing can be engaged to keep the car on the ground once it reached over 0.81-Gs in lateral acceleration. The suspension is built for racing, with a low center of gravity to keep the Zonda Revolucion glued to the road while it rockets down the street. The interior is setup with no frills, the Zonda Revolucion doesn’t have air conditioning or a fancy entertainment system. Things like that add weight, and weight would take away some speed from this beautiful vehicle.
