Lamborghini’s Centenario LP770-4 was launched as a two-door coupe at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, a celebration of the 100th anniversary of founder Ferruccio Lamborghini’s birth. Only 40 were built, all based off the production Aventador SV which meant it uses a carbon-fibre monocoque and race-style in-board suspension.

The Centenario was designed as a running, driving way to display Lamborghini’s advanced new aerodynamics. On top of a dual-level front splitter the Centenario uses a gigantic jutting diffuser, and an electronically controlled dual-plane rear wing. All up it generates 227kg of downforce at 280km/h

Several months after the coupe was unveiled it was joined by a Roadster variant, shown off at the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and weighing some 50kg heavier. Both were powered by a tuned-up 566kW variant of the Aventador’s 6.5-litre V12, with a scintillating 350km/h top speed.

Lamborghini listed the 20 Centenario coupes at US$1,900,000, or nearly three-times the cost of the regular Aventador, while all 20 Roadsters were snapped up quickly at US$2,230,000. Given the limited number sold prices have risen since, with several coupes listed for sale at US$2,800,000 each and one Roadster rumoured to have sold for US$5,700,000!

With all 40 Centenarios built in left-hand drive they aren’t currently legal to be driven on Australian roads. With the import laws set to change in the coming years this could change and we might see one of the rarest and fastest Lamborghini road cars Down Under soon.

A love of classic American and European cars drove Iain Kelly to motoring journalism straight out of high school, via the ownership of a tired 1975 HJ Holden Monaro.  For nearly 20 years he has worked on magazines and websites catering to modified late model high-performance Japanese and European tuner cars, as well as traditional hot rods, muscle cars and street machines. Some of these titles include Auto Salon, LSX Tuner, MOTOR, Forged, Freestyle Rides, Roadkill, SPEED, and Street Machine. He counts his trip to the USA to help build Mighty Car Mods’ “Subarute” along with co-authoring their recent book, The Cars of Mighty Car Mods, among his career highlights.  Iain lends his expertise to CarsGuide for a variety of advice projects, along with legitimising his automotive obsession with regular OverSteer contributions. Although his practical skills working on cars is nearly all self-taught, he still loves nothing more than spending quality time in the shed working on his project car, a 1964 Pontiac. He also admits to also having an addiction to E30 BMWs and Subaru Liberty RS Turbos, both of which he has had multiple examples of. With car choices like that, at least his mum thinks he is cool.
