Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 50 Anniversario heading for Shanghai

So, even though the Veneno was the Lamborghini 50th Anniversary car at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, it looks like Lamborghini is having a second ’50th Anniversary’ special up their sleeves – the Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 50 Anniversario. According to Carscoops, the Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 50 Anniversario will debut this weekend at the Shanghai Motor Show as a limited run of just 100 cars to add an extra celebratory veneer to Lambo’s 50th year as a supercar maker. The LP720-4 50 Anniversario comes in an eye-catching bright yellow - Giallo Maggio – with a black aerodynamic package to contrast that includes a new front apron, diffuser and skirts.

And prime minister Tony Blair has vowed to send an email to everyone who signed the petition, justifying Government plans to launch road tolls as the only solution for chronic congestion problems.CAR Online’s take on all this?
