When the Lamborghini marque celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013, the most charismatic supercar manufacturer out there launched one of the most extreme Italian exotica the world has ever seen. It's called the Veneno and each of the 3 units ever made sold for a whopping $3.9 million. A Roadster followed in 2014, holding a hefty $4.4 million sticker price.
Only 9 of those were made, so they're not as rare as their coupe counterparts, but still, just look at the thing! It's got bucket loads of character and that ever-important Italian design flair a proper Sant'Agata Bolognese bull can't go without. Even though it's all Aventador underneath, the Veneno is that bit more powerful thanks to a 6.5-liter V12 producing 750 horsepower. Top speed? 220 miles per hour, translating to 354 kilometers per hour.

According to Lamborghini, the Veneno's Y-shaped headlights and tail lights, the shark-like fin running along the spine of the roof and the plethora of go-faster aerodynamic bits and bobs aren't just for show, but also help the rare bull cut through the air like a knife. Normally, such a forbidden fruit doesn't go on the second-hand market as easily as your run-of-the-mill Ford Mondeo, but as faith would have it, high quality services provider GT Golden Tower Real Estate and Luxury GmbH is selling the last unit of the Veneno Roadster production run. According to the ad's description, the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster #9 is available immediately, but that kind of scarcity and exquisiteness doesn't come cheap.

The Berlin-based company asks for a substantial €5,699,999 for it, or $7,380,216 at current exchange rates. That's roughly $3 million more than the vehicle's original price, but it's a given that such a special car will attract the likes of automobile speculators. As an extra precaution before buying the thing, we deem necessary to highlight that the seller is the company that advertised the notorious $64 million Ferrari 250 GTO on mobile.de back in July, a car that's considered by leading Ferrari historian and collectible expert Marcel Massini as being a top-notch replica of the real Gran Turismo Omologata.

PS: Golden Tower says "the images are for illustrative purposes," which is also a bit of a bummer.
