New details have surfaced about Lamborghini’s upcoming hypercar, tipped to debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.
According to French website TF1.fr, the limited edition hypercar will not be called HyperVeloce as previously reported, but Centenario LP 770-4. The name has been chosen to mark 100 years since the birth of Ferruccio Lamborghini. The company’s founder was born on April 28, 1916.
As the name suggests, the Lamborghini Centenario LP 770-4 will be powered by a 770PS (759hp) version of the naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine also found in the Aventador SV and regular Aventador models. Thanks to the uprated engine and the four-wheel drive system, the anniversary model is said to cover the 0-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in 2.7 seconds, with a top speed of more than 350 km/h (217 mph).
The Centenario LP 770-4 will be built in a very limited run of 20 units, which will make the Aventador SV (600 units) and Aventador SV Roadster (500 units) look like mass-produced models.
Obviously, the Centenario LP 770-4 will be distinguished from regular Aventadors thanks to a more track-focused aerodynamic package. However, it won’t be as extreme as the Veneno (pictured).
Lamborghini’s hypercar will not only be rare, but expensive as well, with a rumored price of more than €1 million ($1.12 million). The Centenario LP 770-4 is expected to launch in April 2016, just in time to celebrate Ferruccio Lamborghini’s centenary.
