Lamborghini is planning a special edition supercar to celebrate next year's 100th anniversary of the birth of company founder Ferrucio Lamborghini. The car will be built in a limited run, just like the previous Sesto Elemento and Veneno special editions, and it will make its debut next March at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.
We’ve already had reports that the car will be called a Centenario LP 770-4, suggesting it will come with 759 horsepower (770 metric hp) and an all-wheel-drive system. Now we have some new details direct from Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann.
“You are familiar with our one-offs,” Winkelmann told Auto Express. “It will be something like this, a coupe bodystyle.”
He said the car would provide a “balance between tradition and innovation” when it comes to things like aerodynamics, performance and weight. He also ruled out the chance of the car being based on the Huracán, a new version of which was recently spied.
Around 20 examples of the Centenario are planned, and they’re all likely accounted for as the car has already been shown to prospective buyers. It is expected to be based on the Aventador platform but with a unique body. One insider told Auto Express that the car’s design might surprise some, as it will be “beautiful” and “not as extreme” as Lamborghini’s hardcore, wedge-shaped cars.
