Lamborghini Aventador 50th Anniversary Edition Leaked

Building on the seemingly insatiable Chinese appetite for luxury, Lamborghini is bringing a special version of its Aventador flagship to Shanghai roughly a month after debuting the wild Veneno supercar.

Decorated in black and bright yellow, the same 6.5-liter V12 engine sits under the hood, tweaked to make 720 hp instead of the normal car’s 700. That’s still shy of the Veneno’s 750, but this is also a relatively tame-looking iteration of the brand’s factory flagship.

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t further enhanced beyond the mild engine improvement. As you might expect, the aero kit improves on the car’s downforce and stability at high speeds.

Despite that, the car’s acceleration is said to remain the same as a standard Aventador.

Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but is expected during the official Shanghai debut.
