Leaked: Pictures of $3.9 Million Lamborghini So Exclusive Only Three People Will Own It

Mar. 4, 2013 10:58am Liz Klimas

Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to reflect corrected specifications since the reveal of the Lamborghini Veneno.

–

Ahead of the Geneva Motor Show this week, pictures of a new Lamborghini so exclusive — and expensive — that it’s only being made for three people, who have already supposedly put down their deposits, were leaked.

One of the early images of the Lamborghini Veneno began causing a stir on auto blogs Sunday. Jalopnik has this scan of the magazine article that might have started it.

Pictures of $4.6 Million Lamborghini Veneno Leaked Ahead of Auto Show

This magazine scan was reportedly the first leaked image of the Lamborghini Veneno. (Image via Jalopnik)

But then more images and information emerged. AutoGuide details the estimated $3.9 million car as boasting a V12 engine with the framework being made of carbon fiber, giving it a total 740 horsepower. This means, according to Jalopnik, that it reportedly has a top speed of 220 miles an hour and can reach 60 mph in less than three seconds.

All in all, Veneno would be what AutoGuide’s Colum Wood says is “the most powerful and most expensive Lamborghini ever made.” Jalopnik compared its design to a “spaceship Lambo from the distant future.”

The design is reportedly in honor of Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary. It is expected that Lamborghini will formally announce the supercar at the motor show this week.

These specifications and images are not yet official but many auto aficionados are eagerly hoping they’re true and look forward to seeing the actual product.

Jalopnik doesn’t specify where it received more images of the vehicle, but you can see the renderings here.

  I was one of the three, but it only has 1 drink holder in the middle. So number 4, who has less requirements, is taking my spot. You’d think for 4 mil and change . . . . jeezzz.

Let’s see. There is metal, plastic, rubber, some wiring, glass, and carpet. An engine,
some buttons, a few knobs, leather, lights and a steering wheel.

Where are these materials from… Uranus?

You could buy 288,478 of these with last year’s US budget deficit.

  You could buy 825,217 of these with last year’s entire federal budget.
  
  You could buy four on what Obama spent on vacations to Hawaii so far.
  
  You could buy 116 of them with the money wasted on Solyndra.

  If you math and mine are correct, the rate of US spending last year could buy FIVE of these cars every eight seconds.

  The US borrows $37K per second.
  So we borrow enough money every 2 minutes to buy one of these…

Here is the prime example of why we need a national sales tax on all goods over $100,000 in price (Excluding real estate and home purchases). Cars, boats, airplanes all would apply. Even if bought overseas and then imported to the USA,

  It would never be legal on the US highways, all cars have to pass crash test standards requiring several test cars to be destroyed in testing.

  “It would never be legal on the US highways, all cars have to pass crash test standards requiring several test cars to be destroyed in testing.”
  
  That is true for production vehicles. There are variances for custom vehicles, classic vehicles, modified vehicles, etc… They just have to pass a state inspection to be licensed. Wether or not this thing passes inspection depends on the state I guess…
  
  They just could not retail market these things without first trashing enough to pay for a presidential vacation to Spain.

  contrary to groundzero’s comments, crash tests do not apply to all vehicles. Here in Oregon, I have a very high horsepower Cobra replica which the state allows me to be named the official constructor. An MCO manufacturers certificate of origin, names me as the constructor. I could sell 1 per year if I like. Similar exclusions apply for rare/special vehicles within the DMV’s vast rule book. Why would you want to tax someone who is buying a vehicle with post-tax money?

4.6 Million? Beside the obvious, insurance, maintenance, and such, where in the world would you drive it? Park it? Wash it? Hell, other then encasing it in plexiglass, it would serve no purpose……..Just my opinion!

Even if I were super rich, I can’t see spending 4.5 mil on a pile of metal with 4 tires. Something about that just seems obscene to me when there are so many people out there who can’t afford good guns because of King Husein’s abysmal economy. I think a far better use for 4.5 mil, would be the arming of my friends and neighbors for the coming war. Yup, that would buy a couple thousand ARs and ammo to boot.

Meh. Can’t eat it, can’t drink it, can’t live in it, can’t f*** it (debatable), won’t save your life. Not impressed. Even IF I had the money, I wouldn’t waste my money on a THING that has no other purpose than to serve my ego.

My guess is the three people who will own this thing, though they have a lot of money, have very small penises and a very small self image.

  well the Veyron at wide open throttle goes through a 26 gallon tank in 60 miles…but that has 1200 HP and goes 258…. this only has 740 HP and goes 220…so you might get 100 miles out of the 26 gallon tank…
  LOL….yeah but what fun you could have for that 100 miles…

REVERSE MARKETING… If I were a marketer for Lamborghini, I would sell a version of this car for $40,000 just to inundate and shock the marketplace. It would be a first and I would bet it would kick in the afterburners for the company. I know, I would sell my sports car and buy it today. I have always been a dreamer. It looks great, but if I had money, I would not buy it because it is not worth the millions to a rich man who really values money. It is for showoffs.

Where they get you is with the parts, I can just see someone trying to get an aftermarket part for that at Napa. And you know the dealer is going to rake you over the coals.
