If things had NOT gone differently, or perhaps if Ferruccio had not faced any problems with his Ferrari, we would be talking about some latest technologies in farming and tractors. But hey, the cliché “whatever happens, happens for good” might be true after all.
Anyways, assuming you have already heard the story many times, let’s get to the point. The year 2016 marks 100th birth anniversary of the founder Ferruccio Lamborghini, the name that has enough power to give you goosebumps. The Lamborghini Centenario LP 770-4 is a tribute to the founder and bears the tagline “Perfection Forged”.
Powering the Centenario is the same 6.5-litre V12, naturally aspirated motor, producing 770 hp @ 8,500 rpm and 690 Nm of torque @ 5,500 rpm. The 4WD system featured here is the Haldex generation IV. The transmission is the 7-speed ISR AMT. The Car weighs 1,520 kg, thanks to the carbon fiber monocoque and carbon fibre exteriors.
Only 20 Coupes and 20 Roadsters are going to be built and all of them are already spoken for. During the unveiling event at the ongoing 2016 Geneva Motor Show, outgoing President and CEO Stephan said – “selected customers who are very close to the brand”.
