A fierce fighting bull provided the inspiration to the Lamborghini Veneno. According to Lamborghini, Veneno is one of the strongest and most aggressive fighting bulls recorded in history. He famously wounded in 1914 a torero named Jose Sanchez Rodriguez during a bullfight in Andalusia, Spain.

The rear lights also take a Y-shaped design, with its engine cover having six-wedge openings.
The Veneno has large wheel arches on its front and rear. It also has a diffuser placed discreetly behind four huge exhaust pipes. There are also large openings for improved ventilation to the engine. An adjustable rear wing, meanwhile, is based on the company’s motorsport experience.

The Lamborghini Veneno also comes in a roadster version. This model has the same engine as that of the coupe version.

The main difference, though, is that the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster had no roof. It also has more units available. There are only 9 units of this version, which come with an exorbitant $4.5 million price tag. That’s still a lot considering that the coupe version only had 3 units.
The look of the roadster is very similar to the coupe. It also has a huge aerodynamic wing plus large channels and Y-shaped angular headlights.
The exterior of the roadster is made of all-carbon fiber. There is also large vents fitted to cool the big, V12 engine of the car. An adjustable rear wing, meanwhile, imposes the necessary down force.

However, the Lamborghini Veneno roadster is different from other roadster models which have an adjustable top. The lack of a roof gives it a unique look. Instead, it has a stable rollover bar to monocoque which is visible from the interior especially from the central tunnel.
Similar to the Coupe, the Roadster version of the Lamborghini Veneno also had bucket seats made from Lamborghini’s patented Forged Composite. The entire cockpit, as well as the headliner, were made from CarbonSkin in an effort to reduce the overall weight of the car.
In terms of the color, the only choice for the Veneno roadster is the Rosso Veneno.
Red Veneno
Because of the similar engine used in the Roadster version of the Veneno, the performance of both models is basically the same. The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0 -60mph) in around 2.9 seconds, just a split second slower than the Coupe version. It can also achieve a top speed of 354 km/h (220 mph).
The engine is linked to an ISR transmission featuring five modes. It also has a permanent all-wheel drive system that supplies power to all wheels. Another prominent feature of the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is its racing chassis with push-road suspension and damper units.

The Roadster also features a carbon ceramic braking system that further makes it very light and easy to drive.
Lamborghini Veneno Price
The Lamborghini Veneno is one of the rarest cars in the world. After all, its price starts at around $3.9 million. Suffice to say, only a handful of individuals on the planet are fortunate (and wealthy) enough to own one.

The prices of second hand Lamborghini Venenos are even a lot higher than their original prices. A second hand Veneno Roadster, for instance, can command a staggering $7.5 million in the market.
Lamborghini Veneno Owners
As mentioned earlier, you can count on your fingers the number of people who are lucky enough to own a Lamborghini Veneno.
Some of the known owners of Lamborghini Venenos is Antoine Dominic from Long Island, and Kris Singh, managing director of Tequesta Investments in Florida. Both of them paid $4 million for their cars. Another unit was said to have been delivered to the Middle East sometime in 2014.
Lamborghini Veneno Price
The Italian carmaker has announced that it won’t be building new units of the Veneno. So your only chance of owning or driving one is to find an owner who’s willing to part with his prized possession.
Suffice to say; those Lamborghini Venenos will become more expensive in the years to come. Those are rare vehicles you can only dream of seeing, much more having the opportunity to ride or drive them.
