Introduced at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the Centenario was developed by Automobili Lamborghini to celebrate the 100th anniversary of company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini\u2019s birth. While based on the contemporary Aventador SV, the Centenario demonstrated numerous cutting-edge technologies planned for upcoming Lamborghini production models. The Centenario Roadster soon joined its closed stablemate, with introduction at California\u2019s 2016 Monterey Car Week festivities held in conjunction with the Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance\u00ae. Centenario production was strictly limited to just 20 Coupes and 20 Roadsters in all, ensuring instant and enduring collectability.<\/p>\n

Among its many advanced features, the Centenario\u2019s rear-wheel steering system was a company first, designed for added maneuverability at low speeds while providing enhanced stability at high speeds. Another first ushered in by the Centenario was Lamborghini\u2019s new infotainment system, featuring a new 10.1\u2033 portrait touchscreen, which also records telemetry and driving data.<\/p>\n

All-new aerodynamic advances previewed by the Centenario included a twin-plane front air splitter, which generates useful downforce at speed while routing airflow to the vehicle\u2019s sides in conjunction with lower-front air blades located at each side of the car. The Centenario\u2019s aggressive rear air diffusers are the largest ever used on a Lamborghini production car, managing airflow in concert with a three-position, electronically controlled twin-deck rear wing. A fully paneled underbody completes the aerodynamic package. In sum, the Centenario is optimized to generate 227 kilograms (500 pounds) of useful downforce at 280 km\/h (174 mph) for amazing grip at speed.<\/p>\n

As expected, Centenario performance is stunning and worthy of today\u2019s international GT-class endurance-racing cars. According to the manufacturer, the Centenario is capable of accelerating from rest to 100 km\/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds en route to a top speed approaching 220 mph. Built upon the Aventador SV\u2019s carbon fiber monocoque structure, the Centenario includes front and rear subframes from the standard Aventador and power is delivered by a tuned development of the Aventador\u2019s 6.5-liter V-12 engine developing 759 naturally aspirated horsepower at a heady 8,500 rpm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Power delivery is via the Aventador\u2019s seven-speed ISR (Independent Shift Rod) semiautomatic gearbox in conjunction with the all-wheel-drive system developed by Haldex. Suspension is fully independent with double wishbones, and incorporates competition-type pushrods and horizontal magnetorheological dampers. Hydraulic power-assisted Lamborghini Dynamic Steering incorporates variable ratios and delivers uncanny response in conjunction with the aforementioned Lamborghini rear-wheel steering system. Electronic Stability Control with ABS integration deliver enhanced safety and security.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Aggressively styled and constructed with the latest in lightweight, high-strength materials, the Centenario is obviously stunning to view with its myriad design cues. Visually, its impact is similar to that of Lamborghini\u2019s Countach of the 1970s and 1980s and, in particular, the Miura, which shocked all onlookers in 1966 as the world\u2019s very first mid-engine supercar. While delivering exceptional focus on performance, the Centenario offers uncommon luxury with rich interior materials and comprehensive amenities. The Centenario Roadster takes the concept to a higher level, offering open-air enjoyment, yet without compromising performance.<\/p>\n

Finished in optional two-tone Black with yellow accents, this \u201c1 of 20\u201d 2017 Lamborghini Centenario Roadster is incredibly well equipped with factory features and options. Notable features include yellow contrasting interior stitching, a full Alcantara steering wheel, yellow door pull straps, interior cross-stitching, a competition-style yellow \u201c12 o\u2019clock\u201d steering-wheel position marker, and Lamborghini Branding Package. Rounding out this bespoke Centenario Roadster are yellow brake calipers and captivating Lamborghini Light Design LED front and rear lighting. Accompanied by a window sticker, tool kit and manuals. With only 57 miles on the odometer, pristine condition, striking color scheme and extreme limited production, this rare car is exotic even among other Lamborghinis.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Upon the Centenario\u2019s launch, Automobili Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann declared, \u201cThe Centenario has immediately proved itself as a desirable collectors\u2019 car, while demonstrating new Lamborghini technologies and outstanding performance.\u201d To merely say those objectives have been achieved would be a gross understatement.<\/p>\n
