APB Report post Posted September 30, 2019 It is almost twice as expensive as the next car on the list, which is a Koenigsegg One:1 at $4.6 million. In a company of a Koenigsegg, ThethetheFerrari, Enzo, P1, Veyron and and lots of other hypercars this fetched the most. I can't imagine what a decently specced one would go for. Also the site features very rare Veneno engine photos, here is one of them: See more cars here, sadly it didn't go so well for a black Murcielago SV: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/25819/#/aa0=1&MR0_length=96&w0=list&m0=0 If you want more background on the history of this collection, the cars were seized from an African dictator's son in 2016: https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/buying-maintenance/a28195295/government-seized-supercar-collection-bonhams-geneva-sale/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructo Report post Posted September 30, 2019 I saw that, quite shocking to say the least! Especially because it's filthy in the pictures. My gosh, did no one think to detail before the auction?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin2772 Report post Posted October 1, 2019 I cant imagine why anyone would spec ANY lambo n that color, let alone a veneno roadster. Still absolutely love that car, but I would be having them strip the paint and redo the interior ASAP for that kind of money.

I mean, I suppose if you are pilfering it from the coffers of an oppressive government you're going to take risks on color....

Kevin2772 Report post Posted October 1, 2019 That's literally the only reason I can think of for going with that spec. The matte black one with green interior running around London is amazing. I can only imagine what it would be like rolling a roadster like that around in the fall seasons here in the Midwest. But sweet jesus, just don't spec a car like that the same way you specced a 1993 Rolls Royce Silver Spur. Only thing its missing is the brown leather top.

LA_Brit Report post Posted October 2, 2019 Likely to have been purchased by: 1. A friend of the dictators son. 2. A current Veneno owner to boost the value. 3. Stevie fcuking wonder. What a shitbox. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambo_Stalker Report post Posted October 8, 2019 So the Veneno roof scoop is just a non-functional aesthetic part..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unotaz Report post Posted October 9, 2019 The Veneno is just like the Reventon. A glorified bodykit car unfortunately. Beautiful to look at, but nothing different from an engineering perspective. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
