One-of-a-kind Lamborghini supercar

Supercar ... the Lamborghini is expected to retail for £1.4m

A ONE-OF-A-KIND Lamborghini supercar is set to go on sale for £1.4m.

The Lamborghini Pregunta is expected to spark a fierce bidding war amongst wealthy petrol heads when it goes under the hammer. 

Modelled on the design of a fighter jet, the supercar has a top speed of 206mph and a breathtaking 560 horsepower. 

And instead of having mirrors, in-built cameras can be used by the driver to pull off the perfect parallel park. 

The Pregunta is the only one of its kind in existence and was the last prototype to be built by the company before they were bought out by rival car firm Audi-VW.

One-off ... the concept car was the last to be built by the Italian company before they were bought out
 
Packed with a V12 engine, the two-seater car was designed as a basis for Lamborghini to use when thinking up their latest models. 

And after making appearances at motor shows all over the planet since it was built in 2006, one mega-rich punter will soon get to call it their own. 

French firm AutoDrome, who specialise in rare car auctions, are selling the extraordinary machine. 

And Michael Levy from the Paris-based company said they were expecting a surge of interest. 

He said: “It is a car with great historical importance and with radical, innovative concept and design. 

“This car was the last ever built on a Lamborghini base — just before the Marque Lamborghini was merged into the industrial Audi-VW group.”
