Far as four-wheeled birthday presents go, Lamborghini’s newest hypercar revealed at the Geneva Motor Show will beat anything you’ve seen on MTV.
However, there’s a catch, the bloke it’s built for isn’t around to receive it. The Centenario, as it will be known to 40 lucky customers, has been created in tribute of Ferruccio Lamborghini.
Dominating its specification is that massive 6.5-litre V12, which now makes 574kW, or 59kW more than a standard Aventador LP700-4. With that output, it also takes the title as the most powerful V12 the firm has ever built.
At such speeds an extendable rear wing should prove useful, which joins a radically redesigned exterior package.
Straight-line stonk’s one thing, but as for how it corners, a complete carbon fibre body will help the Centenario feel light on its feet, weighing in at 1520kg, as will the new rear-wheel steering system it debuts.
Lamborghini will build the Centenario in a run of 20 coupes and 20 roadsters for selected customers close to the Lamborghini brand at a whopping 1.75m Euros (AU$2.66m). But of course, it doesn’t matter, as each unit is already sold.
