Even long after the death of both Enzo and Ferruccio, their
brand names continue to thrive and awe the masses. The corporate rivalry has increased both companies’
sales and has only helped the two brands become more powerful. At the recent Geneva Auto Show this year,
Lamborghini brought out a beast that no one had ever seen before: the extremely
exclusive Lamborghini Veneno.
What many thought would be the fastest car on the market
with such a high price tag, ironically it’s not! This $3.9 million cost of the Veneno nearly tripled
the value of the new hyper-hybrid LaFerrari.
Both super cars exceed 350 km/hr but the Lamborghini took the cake with
its massive pre-tax sticker price.
Talk about exclusive!
Only 3 Venenos were built and all three were pre-sold. This is also considered one of the most
extreme Lamborghinis in their showroom due to its over-the-top futuristic
styling. With scissor-style doors, large
rear spoiler, air scoop mounted on the roof and “shark fin” stabilizer, the
Veneno is far more than just a car….it’s a showpiece!
Many people may like it but there are many naysayers that
just think it’s too much for them. Many
would rather have the sleeker LaFerrari because it’s a third of the cost and doesn’t
look as outrageous.
In comparison, the LaFerrari combined a gas engine with an
electric motor to conservce fuel and and reduce CO2 emissions while the Veneno
and its 6.5 liter V12 knows nothing of the sort (what is green?)
