Lamborghini Centenario LP770-4 Will Be an Exclusive New Hypercar
The Lamborghini Centenario LP770-4 will be the Italian automaker’s next hypercar.
The ultra-exclusive, limited vehicle was shown off in hologram form at a recent private event and Lamborghini plans on debuting it at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.
According to a French publication, the model will be called the Lamborghini Centenario LP770-4 and will be based on the Aventador SV (pictured), though it will send 770 hp to all four wheels from the 6.5-liter V12 engine. That’s 50 more horsepower than the already hot Aventador SV, allowing the hypercar to go 0-62 mph in just 2.7 seconds while having a top speed of 215 mph. The Centenario name celebrates 100 years since the birth of the automaker’s founder, Feruccio Lamborghini.
To set it apart from the existing Aventador SV, expect numerous aerodynamic changes with a more aggressive design to justify the reported price tag of over $1 million.

Production is expected to be limited to just 20 units and it’s likely that the Italian automaker will create a convertible variant down the road, similar to what it did with the Reventon.
Stay tuned for more information on the upcoming Lamborghini Centenario as we’re confident more will leak ahead of its unveiling next year in Geneva.
