It is based on the Aventador platform and boasts a maximum output of 552 kW / 750 hp. The Veneno can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 2.8 seconds and boasts a top speed of 355 km/h.

In 2014, Lamborghini introduced a roadster version of the Veneno, with performance identical to its coupe counterpart, despite being 50 kg heavier due to chassis reinforcement. Weighing just 1,490 kg, the Veneno roadster achieves a remarkable power-to-weight ratio of 1.99 kg per horsepower. As a true roadster, it does not feature a roof, providing an exhilarating driving experience. Only nine examples were produced, and each was spoken for before being unveiled to the public.
