The Most Expensive Car of 2013

Advertisements:

It’s official, Lamborghini has outdone Bugatti with their latest release. The release of Lamborghini Veneno has won it the position of most expensive car in the world for 2013. Lamborghini is keeping it exclusive and only producing 3 of Veneno’s each year so be prepared to jump onto a waiting list. That is, of course, if you can pony up the $3,900,000 to purchase one of your own. Although, pony is the last word that should be associated with this car. The Veneno will take you to 60 MPH in just 2.8 seconds also making it a close contender for the fastest car in the world. That position is still proudly held by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. Your chances of owning a Bugatti are also still also higher, the 3 initial Veneno’s are already sold! The Veneno resembles and is based on the Aventador LP700-4 but with some massive improvements. Improvements including a 300lb reduction in weight, larger air intakes, and allowing higher rev’s to list a few. Lamborghini was able to squeeze another 49 horsepower out of the engine increasing the total to 740HP from 691HP.

Some key specs of the Lamborghini Veneno:

Engine: 6.5-liter V12 DOHC
Maximum Speed: 221 MPH
Transmission: Seven-speed semi-automatic ISR Transmission

What more could you ask for? Design? The team at Lamborghini has that covered also. The Veneno was actually a celebratory model release symbolizing Lamborghini’s 50 year anniversary. As a result, each Veneno sold will feature a green, red or white color scheme and accents to show off the cars Italian heritage. Their team went to town on the exterior of the Veneno utilizing Forged Composite and CarbonSkin; technologies and materials being pioneered by the company. The interior of the Veneno is packed with carbon-fiber monocoque that is extremely lightweight and incredibly strong. They utilizes the same exterior materials inside the cabin and made the seats from Lamborghini’s Forged Composite.

  Obama would say that is greed.

  But there is an affordable model. It’s called a Toyota Celica.

    Doesn’t get any funnier than that statement, Brandon! LOL

Because Lamborghini is not going to make an affordable car, that would detract from the appeal, and why would you want a lamborghini with cloth seats and 150 hp? Better to keep them as a poster on the wall and work your butt off to eventually get it!

The Veneno is ugly!

It always makes me laugh when someone makes this type of car. The people who buy them can’t drive them at even 25% of their capability but they will memorize all the stats so they can brag to their buddies about them. Then after keeping them all shiny in the garage without driving them for a few years they will sell them for big bucks to another rich person who will not drive it either and so on and on… The only exception is Jay Leno as he is a real car guy. The car makers could save a lot of time and really pump up their profits by not even making a real engine just some plastic lump that looks like one and then have some recorded engine sounds to play in case the owner wants to crank it up to impress someone. Lots of money does not buy class nor, apparently, intelligence!

  That is a silly statement. I ride and race bicycles and have built a few high priced race rigs that I’m sure I couldn’t push to their full potential. Am I not qualified to own a 7k road racing bike because I am not fit or fast enough for it? Sure someone could win a grand tour or spring classic on any number of my road bikes, but I certainly could not. It doesn’t make owning/tuning/riding it any less enjoyable. It’s a product of passion, just as is a Lambo.
