Lamborghini Veneno Roadster Packs 750hp V12 Under its Carbon Fiber Hood

Growing up in the 80s, the two cars featured most prominently on the wall of my room where the Lamborghini Countach and the Ferrari Testarossa. Fast forward 30 years and kids all around the world will soon have posters of the latest Lamborghini super exotic called the Veneno Roadster on the wall. The car looks insane with an open top and enough wings and spats to make the car look like it’s ready to take off and fly.

The Veneno has a 750 hp V12 engine and weighs 3278 pounds thanks to copious amounts of carbon fiber. The high-power engine and light weight means the car is able to reach 60 mph in about 2.9 seconds. The car is also good for a top speed of well over 200 mph.

Any car with the Lamborghini name is expensive, but the Veneno Roadster takes excess to a new level with a price tag of about $4.5 million (USD). Word is Lamborghini will only make about nine of these ultimate roadsters. I’m going to buy a lottery ticket and buy myself one if I win.
