Models
The supercar comes out in two varieties; one is the hard-top version made of lightweight carbon fiber of which only 3 was built, comes with a price tag of 3 million euro. The other is a convertible of which only 9 will be built and will carry a price tag of 3.36 million pounds.
The Veneno Design
A pair of Pirelli P Zero tires on 20-inch wheels up front and a pair of 22-inch wheels in the rear is fitted to the Veneno. The interior is an extension of the Aventador and is dressed in carbon fiber. The awe inspiring quickers are set by center-locking hubs. What betrays its racing aspiration is a pushrod suspension with horizontal spring-damper. Fissured skin of the Veneno covers the carbon-fiber monocoque and its rear sunframes and aluminum front. For a closer view, the Veneno’s design featuring bulging muscles and an LMP-esque dorsal fin in the rear just looks as if it has been altogether assembled from loosely connected units. The Veneno has carried many features from the Aventador. The Y-shaped elements of its head and tail lights are distinct features of the Aventador while the arches of the wheel can be recognized with the Marcello Gandini’s Countach. Some even speculate that the Veneno’s design could well be an indicator of what the next generation Gallardo is going to look like.
Is the Vienna Road Legal?
Yes, the maddest, fastest, and most importantly the most expensive car of all time is absolutely road legal. It means that your Driving License U.K is enough to let you set the roads on fire, provided you are willing to spend those millions to get hold of one. While the 3 units of Veneno are already booked for, those of you who is willing to claim one of these mean machine will have to wait for the convertible versions to be made public. Though even this version is going to be extremely limited as sources relating to Lamborghini has disclosed that only 9 units are going to see the light of the day.
