Had your heart set on the coming Lamborghini Centenario? Unlikely, but even on the rare possibility that you may have, it looks like it is already too late to put in a booking fee for one. Two months ahead of its official reveal, all 40 planned production units have been sold out.
Based on the flagship Aventador but featuring a whole bag of performance upgrades, the Centenario is made to celebrate the 100th birthday of Lamborghini’s founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini. The car is to be shown at the coming Geneva Motor Show in March.
A total of 40 units will be produced, 20 of which will be coupes, and the other 20 being convertibles. With a price tag estimated to be around 2.2 million euros (RM10.5 million), Autocar UK has revealed that all 40 vehicles have been swept up by eager buyers.
According the English publication, Stephan Winkelman, Lamborghini’s current CEO commissioned for “something special” to be made and shown at the Geneva show in honour of the company’s founder. The vehicle would be “a mix of a technology demonstration and a street-legal car.”
Keeping mum on further details, reports suggest that the Centenario will feature a more powerful version of the 700 PS 6.5 litre V12 in the Aventador LP 700-4. Up to 770 PS is expected from the car.
Apart from the vastly improved tech, the Aventador-based model will also be fiercely styled, in a similar fashion with the Sesto Elemento and Aventador J. Autocar quoted Lambo’s R&D boss, Maurizio Reggiani to say that, “this will be the first time we have put so much content into one special car.”
Winkelman concluded by saying that, “our designers and engineers still have the lust to show what they can do and we are not able to have four of five production models. Cars like this are an opportunity to show that constant innovation is taking place within Lamborghini.”
Needless to say, the Lamborghini Centenario will be particularly special. Pity that they’ve all been sold, then.
