Lamborghini Veneno 2013

Geneva motor show 2013: Lamborghini Veneno

Lamborghini to reveal £2.6 million supercar at the 2013 Geneva motor show – and only three will be sold. 

 

Exterior


Lamborghini is showing what it calls a street-legal supercar, the Veneno – of which only three will be sold, each costing £2.6 million plus tax – at the 2013 Geneva motor show.
According to Lamborghini, its design is focused on maximum aerodynamic efficiency. The Veneno is based on the Aventador supercar, and shares its 6.5-litre V12 engine although in the Veneno it develops 50bhp more, at 750bhp. That, combined with a wind-cheating shape, should mean a top speed of 221mph.


The new Veneno brings one of the most extreme exterior designs we have seen on any supercar coming from Sant’Agata Bolognese. While rumors suggested it will be based on the Aventador, it turns out the new Veneno has nothing in common with the previous supercar.

The car’s front features a large aerodynamic wing with huge channels that allows the air to arrive in the front hood, front of the windshield and the front wheels. A first on a Lamborghini model are those Y-shaped angular headlamps that run deep into the fenders and the scissor doors.

When viewed from the side, the new Veneno received enormous sills and even larger wheel arches on the front and rear. For the rear, Lamborghini installed a substantial diffuser hiding the four sizable exhaust pipes divided by a splitter. There are also large openings that provide better ventilation to the engine bay and, of course, an adjustable rear wing inspired by the company’s experience in motorsport. The rear lights also feature a Y-shaped design, while the engine cover features six wedge-shaped openings that help cooling the V-12 beast.

Each part of the supercar’s exterior is made of carbon fiber combined with an all-new, grey metallic-look color for the rest of the body. The model that will be displayed in Geneva, which will remain property of Lamborghini, will display all three colors of the Italian flag, while the three units offered to customers will offer each just one color of the flag.



Interior

 


The use of carbon fiber continues on the interior where Lamborghini lets the carbon-fiber monocoque remain visible in the area of the central tunnel and the sills.
The new Veneno is equipped with two lightweight bucket seats made from Lamborghini’s patented Forged Composite, and the cockpit will be made in woven carbon-fiber.
The instrument panel has been completely redesigned and features aggressive graphics and some additional features, like the G-meter, which provides all necessary information to the driver for control of the car.


Drivetrain

 


Under the hood, the three lucky owners of the Veneno will get an improved version of the 6.5 liter V-12 engine found in the Aventador. The engine receives enlarged intake paths, optimized thermodynamics, a slightly higher rated rpm and an exhaust system with even lower back pressure that all add up to an output of 750 horsepower.
The new Veneno is also 275 pounds lighter than the Aventador, so its performance numbers are quite stunning: 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 221 mph.
The engine is mated to an ISR manual gearbox and permanent all-wheel drive - all specifically adjusted to meet the demands of the Veneno.

2012 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570 4 Super Trofeo Stradale


Stephan Winkelmann CEO of Automobili Lamborghini SpA, was presented by the Volkswagen Group Night in Frankfurt, the most extreme ever Gallardo: Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Road. Automobili Lamborghini brings excitement to the road motorsport directly. This is a new model and upper bound is based on the latest Gallardo car racings most successful Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo the fastest single make series in the world.


The car is produced in a limited run of 150 numbered units.


The Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Championship brings professional riders and drivers face to face Knights in bitter battles in Europe more difficult circuits like Monza, Silverstone and Hockenheim. There are many similarities between the versions of the race and drive of this super sports car. For example, both share the same V10 engine used in the racing version unchanged.

And a huge rear spoiler from a variable to increase the dynamic load

At first glance, the similarities are even more apparent in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570 Super Trofeo new Stradale-4. In fact, it features the same rear spoiler, giving greater aerodynamic load - to achieve the highest attainable standard of aerodynamic load 3 times Gallardo LP560-4 - for improved dynamic stability in turns, driving at high speed. Like racing cars rear wing manually changed to allow the vehicle driver performance optimization based on the track or path characteristics.
