Sant’Agata Bolognese/Geneva, 1 March 2016 – Automobili Lamborghini presents the Lamborghini
Centenario at Geneva Motor Show, in the year the company celebrates the centenary of founder
Ferruccio Lamborghini’s birth. Only 20 coupé and 20 roadster versions of the Centenario will be
produced and all 40 cars are already sold, at a start price of 1.75 million euros plus tax.
The Centenario continues Lamborghini’s one-off strategy and demonstrates Lamborghini’s
innovative design and engineering competencies. Using the V12 architecture, the Centenario’s
naturally aspirated engine produces 770 hp and powers from 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, and from
0-300 km/h in 23.5 seconds with a top speed of more than 350 km/h. Braking from 100 km/h to
standstill is achieved in 30 meters. A monocoque and body in full carbon fiber provide a low weight
of 1,520 kg and a weight to power ratio of just 1.97 kg/hp.
The car’s aerodynamic design includes an extending rear wing providing more downforce at high
speeds. The introduction of rear-wheel steering provides increased agility and stability, and an
innovative touchscreen provides connected infotainment, including internet browsing and Apple
CarPlay.
“The Centenario is a car that perfectly combines tradition and innovation. It looks to the future while
honouring the legend that is Ferruccio Lamborghini,” says Automobili Lamborghini President and
CEO Stephan Winkelmann. “The Centenario is an opportunity for our designers and engineers to
transcend some of the constraints of series car production to achieve an incomparable result: the
Centenario has immediately proved itself as a desirable collectors’ car, while demonstrating new
Lamborghini technologies and outstanding performance. It is the most fitting tribute to Ferruccio
Lamborghini in his centenary year: a man who created an exceptional brand, believed that anything
was possible, and produced extraordinary, iconic cars. The Centenario is a super sports car for
Ferruccio Lamborghini and the future he and we believe in today.”
