A Lamborghini Veneno from 2013 has just become the most expensive four-wheeled bull to date after a Japanese luxury car dealer put an ad on a German used cars website.
Number 2 of just 3 cars ever built by Sant'Agata Bolognese for commercialization, the very rare Lamborghini was put on sale for a cool €9,980,000, which is the equivalent to about $11,108,000. In case arithmetic isn't your thing, that is approximately three times the original asking price for the hypercar, which cost €3 million plus taxes (over $3,3 million) when it was offered for sale in 2013.
Based on the Lamborghini Aventador, the Veneno was originally developed to celebrate Lamborghini's 50th anniversary, two of the five cars built in total remaining at the factory. The model going on sale on Mobile is said to have been originally bought by a Lamborghini customer in Macau and it only has 840 km (522 miles) on the clock.
Its 750 horsepower naturally aspirated V12 is derived from the one found on the Aventador, as is the 7-speed transmission and the all-wheel-drive system, all being engulfed by a bespoke carbon fiber body.
Despite having 20 less horsepower and different aerodynamics, the Veneno has similar performance figures to the recently unveiled Lamborghini Centenario. This means that the 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration time is of approximately 2.9 seconds and its top speed is of over 355 km/h (221 mph).
Unlike the Centenario, though, whose coupe version will be built in 20 examples, the Veneno is about as rare as they get. Will its rarity and low mileage be enough for the Japanese car broker to find an owner that's willing to part with over $11 million for it?
Normally, we'd say no, but stranger things have happened in the world of used supercars and you can never tell for sure which cars will make the best long-term investment. Hopefully, whoever does end up buying it will not keep it in an air-conditioned garage to preserve its mileage indefinitely.
