Lamborghini Veneno: Official

The Lamborghini Veneno, a limited run Aventador LP700-4, has been officially revealed by Lamborghini with dramatic styling and 740bhp. Lamborghini tell us that all three Venenos have already been sold – at a hefty £3.12 million, no less – and the Veneno is more a street-legal track car than just a titivated Aventador. The body of the Veneno – which is named after a particularly ’Venomous’ fighting bull – is crafted from carbon fibre and is designed to achieve optimal aerodynamics with the front splitter, rear diffuser, huge rear wing and a big fin running down the middle of the roof all conspiring to make the Veneno more aerodynamic than its Aventador sibling.
