Lamborghini are notorious for extravagant launches, constantly bringing something new to the table. It is their ability to shock that has led their decades of success as commendable car retailers.

The launch of the Veneno coupe was pretty special, possessing all the great constructs that we expect from the carmakers.

The special customer and media event was held in the Middle East on an Italian aircraft carrier, Nave Cavour.

 

The £2.7 Million Veneno roadster appeared in red with black wheels, showing off to all the onlookers.

The unveiling was solely for VIP’s, media and authorities on the ship that was docked in Abu Dhabi’s Mina Zayed port.

Production of this beautiful car will be limited to just nine cars followed by a run of three cars for the Veneno coupe. Each example will be an open top with a maximum output of 750hp, doing 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds.

Stephan Winkelmann, president and chief executive of Lamborghini, said: “The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is one of the world’s most exclusive cars with the most extraordinary performance.

“We are honored that Lamborghini was chosen to represent the Italian car industry in the UAE, as a perfect example of iconic Italian super sports cars, and that we have the opportunity to show the Veneno Roadster for the first time in Abu Dhabi. Lamborghini has an extremely strong following in the region for its super sports cars, with the Middle East one of our largest markets in the world.”
