INSIDE THE CRAZY LAMBORGHINI CENTENARIO
  • The Centenario is one of the rarest Lamborghini models ever created
  • A celebration to the founder's 100th birthday
  • An introduction to new revolutionary technology

The Centenario was revealed in 2016 as a tribute to mark 100-years since the birthday of Ferrucio Lamborghini, the Italian marque's founder. With only 40 made at a price over of $2 million each, it is one of the most expensive and exclusive Lamborghini models.

INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE At the supercar's heart lies a 6.5L naturally-aspirated V12, developing 759hp and 690Nm of torque. It is insanely fast with a top speed of 217mph (350km/h) and will launch from 0-62mph (0-100km/h) in just 2.9 seconds. The Centenario's performance is further aided by a 7-speed ISR automated manual transmission, offering lightning fast gear changes.

The supercar introduced several new technologies to the brand. For example, it was the first Lamborghini to have rear-wheel steering. This helps the car turn more easily at low speeds and improves stability when travelling quickly.

TIMELESS ELEGANCE The design is centred around the hexagonal pattern that Lamborghini is famed for. Although, it does incorporate a very bold and futuristic design. Much of the body is made from carbon-fiber, helping the car stay fast and agile. It has sharp body lines, large air intakes, and a huge rear diffuser that helps improve air flow.
