Lamborghini mystery car to be called Centenario, already sold out

January 16, 2016

Lamborghini has confirmed to Leftlane News that its upcoming limited-edition supercar will be called Centenario in tribute to the 100 years since the birth of late founder Ferruccio Lamborghini.

So far Lamborghini isn’t offering any concrete details on the Centenario, but the Italian automaker has reportedly already sold out the car’s limited production run. The company has only promised that the model will not be a lightly modified Aventador or Huracan, but rather an entirely new car with a “completely different design.”

Only 40 examples will be built, including 20 coupes and 20 convertibles, and all examples have been spoken for, according to an Autocar report. Each will reportedly fetch around 2.2 million euros (~$2.39 million USD).

Chief executive Stephan Winkelmann suggests the model will represent “a mix of technology demonstrator and street-legal car,” though most if not all will likely spend their lives tucked away in private collections rather than cruising around public roads.

The latest rumors point to a 6.5-liter V12 engine borrowed from the Aventador, but tuned to deliver around 759 brake horsepower. It will not be a stripped-down track-focused package, instead focusing on ‘content,’ ‘sustainability’ and ‘connectivity.’

Full details will be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
