Lamborghini Centenario unveiled at Geneva
Italian supercar maker Lamborghini has unveiled the Centenario at the Geneva Motor Show 2016. The limited edition model celebrates the centenary of the company’s founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini’s birth. Only 20 coupes and 20 roadsters of the Centenario will be built, and all 40 cars have already been sold out.
The Lamborghini Centenario LP770-4 uses full carbon fibre construction for the monocoque and the the body. The car features an extending rear wing to provide more downforce at high speeds. It comes equipped with rear wheel steering, touch screen infotainment system and Apple Car Play. The V12 engine in the Centernario produces 770 horsepower that takes it from 0 to 100 kph in just 2.8 seconds and 0 to 300 kph in 23.5 seconds. It has a top speed of over 350 kph. AS far as braking is concerned, it goes from 100 kph to standstill in 30 metres.
“The Centenario is a car that perfectly combines tradition and innovation. It looks to the future while honouring the legend that is Ferruccio Lamborghini,” says Automobili Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann. “The Centenario is an opportunity for our designers and engineers to transcend some of the constraints of series car production to achieve an incomparable result: the Centenario has immediately proved itself as a desirable collectors’ car, while demonstrating new Lamborghini technologies and outstanding performance. It is the most fitting tribute to Ferruccio Lamborghini in his centenary year: a man who created an exceptional brand, believed that anything was possible, and produced extraordinary, iconic cars. The Centenario is a super sports car for Ferruccio Lamborghini and the future he and we believe in today.”
