The $4.5 million Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is going to be a pretty common site, at least compared to the hardtop example of this outrageously expensive exotic car.
Earlier this year, during the annual Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini pulled the sheets off the $3.9 million Veneno supercar. The exterior design was absolutely bristling with air intakes and enormous wings and spoilers.
Only three would be built, and Lamborghini let the world know every example had been pre-sold prior to the car’s grand unveiling.
Now comes the drop-top version, the Veneno Roadster, and news that Lamborghini plans on building a whopping nine examples in total.
That's right, the Veneno Roadster is going to seem downright common compared to the cheaper (but rarer) hardtop. Right?
Well, let's just say you’re unlikely to see two of them parked in a McDonald's parking lot at the same time. Despite the strange mathematics going on here, it's safe to assume Veneno Roadster buyers won't mind a couple more of them being on the road - or tucked into secret underground lairs.
While the price is hard to stomach, the car's specs sound delicious.
Positioned behind the 2-passenger cockpit is a 740-horsepower 6.5-liter V-12 engine that also sees duty in the Lamborghini Aventador.
Power is delivered to all four wheels via Lambo’s 7-speed “ISR” transmission. This slick gearbox is capable of shifting gears almost as quickly as transmissions used in Formula One racecars.
