The world premiere of the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster took placed on December 1 in the city of Abu Dhabi. While Lambo could have simply chosen a 7-star hotel built on an exotic man-made island, the Italian supercar maker debuted the Veneno Roadster on board Italian naval aircraft carrier ‘Nave Cavour’.
"The Veneno Roadster will be limited to nine units, each costing 3.3 million euros."
Based on the Veneno which premiered at this year’s Geneva Motor Show in March, the Roadster will not get even an attachable roof, and only a rollover bar will be available. The engine is the same 6.5-liter V12 which powers the Aventador, but retuned to produce 750 hp in the Veneno. 0-100 km/h takes 2.9 seconds, while the top-speed stands at 355 km/h.
Though the Veneno is based on the Aventador, Lamborghini engineers used a large percentage of carbon fiber to bring down the dry weight to a mere 1,490 kg.
