The Lamborghini Veneno is a limited production supercar based on the Lamborghini Aventador and was built to celebrate Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary. As of December 2013, at a price of US$4,500,000, it is the most expensive production car in the world. The prototype, Car Zero, is finished in grey and includes an Italian flag vinyl on both sides of the car. The engine is a development of the Aventador's 6.5 L V12 and produces 750 PS (552 kW; 740 bhp).
Lamborghini built just 5 examples of the Veneno: 2 for itself, and just three for the customers. The first Veneno, with red accents, went to Antoine Dominic, owner of Lamborghini Long Island. The second went to Kris Singh, whose car was delivered with red, green and white accents. the third model was seen in Hong Kong en route to Macau where its new owner presumably resides. Car Zero, which was the vehicle on display, will be retained by the factory for the museum. The three production cars cost €3,120,000 each, and all three were sold.
The vehicle number 0 was unveiled at the March 2013 Geneva Motor Show, followed by 2013 Quail Motorsports Gathering, Vallelunga circuit near Rome during the World Finals of Lamborghini Super Trofeo 2013 series. There's another number 0 Veneno prototype test car.
