Lamborghini Veneno is the special car the Italian company brought to Geneva [Updated]

This crazy looking car called Veneno, which means poison in Portuguese and Spanish, is the surprise Lamborghini promised to bring to the Geneva Motor Show. This car is Lamborghini's way to celebrate their 50th anniversary but only three cars will be built and all of them are already sold.

The new supercar comes with a 6.5 liter naturally aspirated V12 that produces 740hp (544kW) and is connected to a seven-speed ISR robotized manual gearbox. It will have a top speed of 354km/h (220mph) and will accelerate from a standstill to 100km/h (62mph) in just 2.9 seconds.

Each of the three cars costs around 3.6 million euros (3.1 million pounds or almost 4,7 million dollars) and you cannot buy any of them because, like i said before, they are already sold.

Lamborghini reveals a new vehicle! It's a tractor. [Video]

But this Lamborghini only has a top speed of 50km/h and a power output of 120hp and a decent 480Nm of maximum torque at 1600rpm, more than enough to move several tons. And this is the best Lamborghini tractor you can buy, all the other models have weaker performances.

Still it is a good looking tractor. It looks mean and the video advertising the new Lamborghini Nitro was well made. Oh and don't forget it was created by Giugiaro Designs.

Lamborghini Nitro is a step forward in medium power tractors displaying cutting edge technical features. This range is a coming-together of the "fighting bull's" strength and determination.

The new white and black colouring highlights a dual personality, created with elegance and simplicity, high technological content and ease of use, exclusivity and versatility. A unique and unparalleled style runs throughout: Giugiaro Design.

The bonnet features a bold, lowered contour.
The cab is perfectly integrated into the exclusive style of the tractor as a whole.
The interior is a perfect harmony of ergonomics and beauty.
The mudguards provide the finishing touch: with double LED tail lights, a blend of elegance and power typical of the Lamborghini brand.

Seems the Lamborghini Urus will be produced after all

The current President and CEO of Italian sports car manufacturer Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., Stephan Winkelmann, said some time ago that the brand doesn't need a SUV in their model range but today a few patents drawings appeared in China meaning they Urus might be produced.

Does this mean the car will go into production? No, they might be just protecting their design to avoid Chinese copies. But according to a Chinese website it will go into production close to the year 2017.

It will utilize the same platform used in the new generation Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, Volkswagen Touareg and Bentley EXP 9 F and will weigh approximately 1996kg (4400lbs). To achieve that weight it will be employed a lot of carbon fiber reinforced plastics, aluminum and magnesium in several of the SUV parts.

The engine should be a V10 with around 600hp. We have to wait and see if this turns out to be true.

Special Lamborghini model for Geneva

Sesto Elemento

To celebrate 50 years since the foundation of the Lamborghini brand, the Italian company announced a series of special events. One of them will happen in the Geneva Motor Show with the presentation of a special model.

This was confirmed by the company's CEO Stephan Winkelmann, and Lamborghini’s head of research and development Maurizio Reggiano added that “We want it to be a tribute to the 50th anniversary of Lamborghini and we want it to shock and reward” and “Usually we present something because we want to produce or sell it”, so we can expect that someone with many million euros or dollars will buy it.

We will have to wait and see what type of car will the Italian car maker present to the public next month.

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento production version

The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento was first introduced in 2010 at the Paris Motor Show and was soon acclaimed as one of the best looking supercars seen so far, still having that familiar and also radical Lamborghini look.

And it is thanks to the carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) that the car can have a curb weight of only 999 kilograms (2.202 lb), and with the engine (5,2liter V10) from the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera that produces 570 horsepower and 540 Nm (398 lb·ft) of torque, it has a power-to-weight ratio of 1,75 kg/hp (3,85 lb/hp).

The all-wheel drive Sesto Elemento will take 2,5 seconds to reach 100km/h (62mph) and won't be able accelerate beyond the 320km/h (200mph). Production will take place in the so-called Lamborghini Pre-Series Center, a special facility which was set up specifically to produce special models.

The price? 1.5 million euros or almost 2 million dollars. but if you have that money and want to buy , you can't since the twenty units that will be produced have all been sold.
