You know how the paparazzi ruin celebrity weddings by filming them with drones and helicopters? Well, the carparazzi have just spoiled Lamborghini's party by grabbing the first images of the LP 770-4 Centenario.
There's no way to describe the car other than to call it striking. It's just as low and wide as the Aventador that it's based on, but the body has been considerably lengthened by playing with the overhangs. We want to say that we don't like it, but it was the same with the Veneno and the Sesto Elemento until we got used to them. Who knows, maybe the long nose of the Plymouth Road Runner is going to come back in fashion!
Just like the Veneno, the Centenario will be built and sold in strictly limited numbers. However, we think it will be even less practical. Those long splitters and spoilers will make it impossible to enter an underground car park or even load it up on a trailer.
As the name suggests, the output of the supercar will be exactly 770 PS, coming from a revised 6.5-liter V12 engine. Previous reports suggest it will be able to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and reach a top speed of over 350 km/h (217.4 mph).
The general proportions remind us of some of the least practical yet most coveted cars ever made. Just like the Jaguar XJ220, the front compartment is occupied by fans and aero effects, while the back is dominated by the diffuser, so there won't be any luggage space. The long front and rear overhangs hint at the famous Maserati MC12, which was based on the Enzo. The rear wheels of the Centenario appear much bigger, suggesting it's RWD. But the "4" in the name of the car proves that's not the case.
Lamborghini will make as many as 40 of these completely overhauled Aventadors. Despite an estimated price of 2.2 million euros excluding tax, we suspect each and every one will be sold.
