## A centenary car used as a development car

Ferruccio Lamborghini was born in 1916. For the centenary of his birth, the company took the Aventador's 6.5-litre V12 architecture to 770 CV and wrapped it in a new carbon body rather than issuing a trim package.

The coupé appeared at Geneva in March 2016; the roadster followed during Monterey Car Week. All 40 had already been allocated at a stated €1.75 million before tax.

Its useful legacy is mechanical. Four-wheel steering, active aerodynamics, telemetry and the central touchscreen were shown together here before related systems filtered into regular-production Lamborghinis.

| Highlight | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| The rear axle turns | At parking speeds the rear wheels turn against the fronts; at speed they turn with them. The Centenario introduced that hardware to a production Lamborghini before it reached the Aventador S. |
| Twenty plus twenty | The run is exact and easy to audit: 20 fixed-roof cars, 20 roadsters. The open car gives away one tenth to 100 km/h and carries its own scarcity within the forty-car total. |
| Carbon, almost unpainted | The launch coupé left its carbon weave exposed under clear finish. The monocoque and every exterior panel are carbon fibre; the dry factory figure is 1'520 kg. |
