In 2013, Lamborghini released 3 cars called the Veneno. As is the case with other names of their cars, the followers of Ferruccio used the name of the famous bull of the Spanish bullfight. In 2014, the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster was released in a 3 times larger series. Its cost was 5 million dollars. The entire series was quickly bought out, ensuring the successful implementation of the historical project for the concern. And this is not about money, but about the fact that this car will be in private collections and in decades will bring huge profits to the owners.

Veno Roadster construction

"Lamborghini Veneno Roadster", the technical characteristics of which will be discussed below, is an exclusive model. The car was produced in the amount of 9 copies, and its predecessor Veneno was assembled in the amount of three cars. It means thatit is almost impossible to provide information about its handling and dynamics. Secondly, buyers of such cars purchase them for private collections, and therefore it is unlikely that any of the auto reviewers will be lucky enough to get behind the wheel and later talk about its dynamics and handling.

However, due to acceleration from zero to 100 km / h in 2.9 seconds and the presence of sporty aerodynamic forms reminiscent of LMP cars, the model should be credited in advance with excellent handling and unforgettable emotions from a rapid increase in speed. Its peak figure is 355 km / h, which is even more than the Le Mans prototypes develop, approaching the performance of Formula One cars. But it can only be reached on a prepared track.

Exclusive "Lamborghini Veneno Roadster" was created on the basis of Aventador, borrowing its engine and chassis. And many people know how it accelerates and is controlled. The Veneno Roadster proved to be even better in terms of dynamics and handling due to higher downforce, which gave it more stability during acceleration and cornering. This is helped by the presence of a rear wing with three reserved positions, which allows you to adjust the pressure while driving. It's a great car for the racetrack, but it won't reach its full potential on public roads.

The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster has very similar performance to the Aventador and the 2013 Veneno. The modern Veneno Roadster has become 40 kg heavier, still using carbon fibermonocoque Aventador. The body panels are also carbon fiber, a modern trend in hypercar construction.

Engine

The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is powered by the traditional V12 with a 60-degree inclination of the cylinder block, the volume of which is 6.5 liters (more precisely, 6.498 liters). With a compression ratio of the fuel-air mixture of 11.8 to 1 at maximum torque (at 8400 rpm), the power is 750 hp. With. But the maximum "undermining" is felt when the rpm enters the 5500 per minute zone, where the zone of maximum torque for this power unit is located.

Transmission and auxiliary systems

Engine power is controlled by a 7-speed ISR gearbox. High shifting speed is provided by separate rods, not double clutches. In conditions of all-wheel drive with computer autonomous control and a self-locking rear differential, this allows you to quickly pick up speed without drifting axles on any asph alt surface. This is also helped by the stability control system, which includes an anti-slip module and traction control. These modules are not a novelty of the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster, but the necessary design elements of hypercars that are designed for road driving or track days.

Suspension, steering

The vast majority of the Veneno Roadster's structural components were used on the previous Veneno. It can be said that the currentthe car differs in its roof configuration, but technically remains the same. That is, it still uses the proven and reliable Servotronic power steering system. Together with the fully independent double wishbone suspension geometry, this results in excellent handling and precise steering response.

However, it is impossible to talk about a high level of comfort of movement here, as is the case with other hypercars designed for the track. The only exception can be, perhaps, only Bugatti. This is due to the need to reduce ground clearance and the use of a very stiff suspension that eliminates roll when cornering. This compromise between comfort and handling is essential when the average speed of the car is 200 km/h and the maximum speed is 355 km/h.

It is the passive single-tube suspension with horizontal shock absorbers and springs that makes it possible to achieve good cornering stability and safety for the driver. However, this car will please its owner for a long time, and its value in 20-30 years may increase by 10 or more times. Perhaps, such models are also bought as an investment, although trying them on the track means getting unforgettable emotions.

It is enough to look at the photo of the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster to understand that we have before us a wonderful example of automotive art. And they will admire it more often than go to the race track.
