3. 10. Diablo GT1
• Only two of these were ever built;
one was sold to JLOC in Japan for
racing in the annual Japanese GTC
(since 1997) and the other remains
displayed at the SAT factory.
• This two-door coupe was actually
built for mass production, but
Chrysler didn’t move on it and after
Audi bought the factory, the GTC
series was put to rest in favor of
the newly-developed Diablo Gt and
GTR.
4. 9. Mansory Carbonado Apertos
• The Mansory Carbonado Apertos is
another Lamborghini success. With
the Mansory trademark use of matte
carbon fiber for the car’s exterior, the
detail that is also put into the interior
is nothing short of spectacular.
• The black and yellow leather is
gorgeous – add the incredible, unique
stitching pattern and this auto is in a
league of its own. This auto was made
post VW buyout and it’s clear that
Mansory is definitely recreating the
Lamborghini brand.
5. 8. Mansory Carbonado GT
• Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show,
the 1,600 hp Carbonado GT showed off
its panda colored body to great acclaim.
• What starts as one model, the
Aventador LP700-4, turns into a
completely different auto. The biggest
changes come in the body panels,
which are made from carbon fiber, and
the fenders.
• Complete with a 6.5 liter V12 engine,
Mansory suggests the modified engine
is responsible for its performance – its
top speed is 230 mph and can go for 0-
60 in 2.1 seconds.
6. 7. Pregunta Concept
• This one-off hypercar, was the
last car made by Lamborghini
before the VW purchase and the
Audi brand took control.
• Built in 1998 and introduced at
the Paris and Geneva motor
shows, it was likened to 1960’s
fighter jets. It’s top speed of 202
mph is powered by its 530 hp
v12 engine. This car was made
to be driven, unlike some of the
other Lamborghini concept cars.
7. 6. Reventon Roadster
• This gorgeous Lamborghini Reventon
Roadster was introduced at the 2007
Frankfurt Motor Show. It was the most
expensive Lamborghini at the time and
clocked its highest speed in Dubai at 221
mph.
• Only 21 of these cars were made; 20 for
sale and one for exhibition in the
Lamborghini Museum. Evidently the car’s
limited edition numbers are stamped
between the driver and passenger seats.
• This mid-engine, four-wheel drive auto
has a 6.5 liter V12 engine and a 6-speed
manual transmission. The name reventon
means “small explosion”.
8. 5. Aventador J
• This is another one-off Lamborghini
and was built and introduced in 2012.
The Aventador J looks like a piece of
art and it comes with an interesting
story. When Designer Filippo Perini
was interviewed by Top Gear, he
confessed that this car was designed
and built in six weeks.
• Yet, this auto is completely road-legal
and made from the most sturdy
components. With a 6.5 liter V12
engine, this baby goes up to 185 mph.
Although it debuted at the Geneva
auto show, it was prepurchased by an
unnamed Lamborghini aficionado.
9. 4. Sesto Elemento Concept
• This spectacular Lamborghini was
shown at the 2001 Paris Auto
Show. It’s futuristic design uses
sharp features that create an even
zippier look to this V10 570 hp auto
that screams up to 185 mph with
its six-speed transmission.
• The “Sixth Element” (Sesto
Element) is named after carbon’s
atomic number – as the car uses
carbon fiber throughout. If you’re
interested, there are 20 other units
that were later produced in 2011.
10. 3. Egoista Concept
• The Egoista was presented at the
end of Lamborghini’s 50th
anniversary drive. The drive was a
part of the celebration in which
350 Lamborghini’s participated.
Stephen Winkelmann, head of
Lamborghini, unveiled this model
called, Egoista – meaning selfish,
thus the auto seats only one.
• This concept car was designed by
Volkswagen design chief, Walter De
Silva, after the Apache helicopter.
It’s 5.2 liter V10 engine is what
powers this solo auto experience.
11. 2. Veneno
• The Lamborghini Veneno is not a
one-of-a-kind. It’s a three-of-a-
kind hypercar that has a name
that means “venom” in Spanish.
• If that tells you anything about
the big-bad performance of this
car, here’s the stats to back it up:
6.5 liter V12 engine, 740 hp, 0-
60 in 2.8 seconds, speeds up to
220 mph and a 7-speed semi-
automatic transmission
12. 1. Lamborghini Veneno Roadster
• Last fall, Lamborghini unveiled what
was considered to be the most
expensive car in the world, the
Veneno Roadster. This is a limited
edition hypercar (only nine) that is
designed like a race car but with road
legal parts and construction.
• This “hypercar” drives up to 221 mph,
which is almost as fast as a Leer jet.
It’s a 6.5 liter V12 engine and goes
from 0-60 mph in under three
seconds. Oddly enough, this auto can
never be driven on a rainy day, as it
comes sans roof.
