An ultra-rare Lamborghini Veneno coupe, one of only three sold to the public, has been listed for $13.9 million at a dealership in Montreal, Canada. This model, finished in a custom gray with red accents and boasting fewer than 1,000 miles on the odometer, represents a near-pristine example of Lamborghini’s 50th-anniversary celebration.
The Lamborghini Veneno was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show as a road-legal racing prototype, designed to push the boundaries of automotive engineering and aerodynamics. Built to commemorate Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary, the Veneno is based on the Aventador but takes its design and performance to another level. With its sharp angles, sculpted lines, and prominent aerodynamic features, the Veneno is engineered for maximum downforce and speed. The aggressive front fascia features large air intakes and an angular hood, while the rear boasts a massive three-way adjustable wing and quad exhaust tips, all made from lightweight carbon fiber.
Under the hood, the Veneno is powered by an enhanced version of the Aventador’s 6.5-liter V12 engine. Lamborghini modified the engine with larger air intakes and a unique exhaust system, boosting its output to 740 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque. This power allows the Veneno to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 221 mph, making it one of the fastest road-legal cars of its time.
Given its rarity, the $13.9 million price tag might seem steep, but it aligns with the car’s exclusivity and historical value. Originally priced at over $4 million when new, the Veneno coupe’s value has continued to appreciate due to its limited production and iconic status. Lamborghini produced only 13 Veneno units, four of which were coupes. Of these, just three were made available for private purchase, with the fourth remaining in Lamborghini’s museum.
This is not the first time a Veneno has hit the market; in 2016, another coupe was listed for $11 million, and a Veneno Roadster recently set a record with a $6 million sale through SBX Cars. Whether this particular coupe will find a buyer at its asking price remains to be seen, but its presence alone highlights the Veneno’s status as a highly coveted collectible.
The Lamborghini Veneno stands as a testament to the brand’s legacy, combining futuristic design and track-inspired performance. For those seeking one of the most exclusive Lamborghinis ever built, this rare opportunity is one that may not come around again.
