Unbelieva-bull ... Lamborghini Veneno
LAMBORGHINI have announced the release of their brand new supercar — a £3million road-legal monster named after a BULL.
The Veneno has been designed to mark the Italian car firm’s 50th anniversary and they say its name comes from “one of the most legendary fighting bulls ever”.It can hit 220mph — and get from 0-60mph in under THREE seconds — but still holds a regular road licence.
A spokesman for the motoring giant said: “It is the fastest, most powerful road Lamborghini we’ve ever built.”
Petrol-heads around the world are set for a big disappointment, however, as Lamborghini will only build three Venenos — and they have buyers lined up already.
The two-seater car is powered by a massive 6.5 litre V-12 engine, which can generate up to 750 horse power — or the equivalent of SEVEN Ford Fiestas.
It is made of a super-strong carbon fibre shell, has a seven-speed manual gearbox and permanent all-wheel drive.
Each of the trio will also carry a colour from Italy’s national flag — red, white and green.
The Veneno was unveiled at the Geneva car show.
Their spokesman said: “The Lamborghini Veneno brings the aerodynamic efficiency of a racing prototype to the road.
“Every detail of its form pursues a clear function – exceptional dynamics, optimum downforce with minimal drag and perfect cooling of the high performance engine.
“The entire front end of the Lamborghini Veneno has been laid out for perfect airflow and downforce. The front end works as a large aerodynamic wing.”
The three cars will be produced over the course of a year and delivered to their unnamed owners once complete.
