To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Lamborghini has introduced its fastest
and most outrageous road car yet, the Veneno.
The Veneno is named after a legendary fighting bull whose reputation was built on the fact that it was one of the strongest and most aggressive in history.

The Veneno is based on the Aventador Coupe and is built almost entirely
from carbon fiber. It boasts a V12, 750 horespower powertrain and permanent
four-wheel drive.
Lamborghini says the Veneno can reach speeds of 220 miles per hour (355
kilometers per hour) and accelerates from 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds
The model making its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show is grey, but the
three production models will each be finished in one of the three colors of the
Italian flag.
The green, white and red cars will retail for €3 million ($3.9 million)
plus tax and Lamborghini claims it has already secured a buyer for every
example
Likewise, although the Italian supercar maker has guaranteed delivery of
each production model before the end of the year, production won’t start until
further track-based testing has been completed.
