This is the three customers' car: Lamborghini Veneno (it means venom, in Italian). It is like a poison that, if it enters to your blood, you are utterly doomed to addiction.
The design is not aggressive. It is absolutely ferocious. The main theme was the “Y” letter. The front side of the car, with its massive angular lines, are fulfilling aerodynamics purposes. The spliter in the front bumper, with scoops and vents, are designed to help the airflow seamless on the sides and on the bodywork. In the rear, a massive wing angled and formed to follow the air stream completes the look.
The platform, though, is not new. It has the same base as the Aventador, but with some upgrades. The engine's air intake and exhaust were modified so the V12 can offer more power. The transmission was the same 7-speed with dual-clutch and it was all-wheel drive.
Inside, the exterior theme design was used. The inspiration was taken from the fighter-jets. The seats are tight around the occupants and featured the same angular lines. The buttons from the console are inspired by fighter-jets. But, apart from some design details and used colors, there are some Audi-inspired (or carried over) buttons.
Lamborghini built five of the Veneno. One was used for testing, one for their museum and the other three were sold. After a while, the Italians decided to carry on with another 9 models, but open top. The price-tag for the regular Veneno was USD 4 million.
