The The Lamborghini Veneno

The 83rd International Geneva Motor Show kicked off this week with two new supercars from Italian automakers Lamborghini and Ferrari unveiled. Both are ridiculously expensive at $3.9 million (Lamborghini Veneno) and $1.3 million (Ferrari LaFerrari) and extremely limited (3 Venenos and 499 LaFerraris).
The LaFerrari is also the first hybrid ever created by the famed automaker. Below you will find pictures, specs and details about these engineering marvels.

The Lamborghini Veneno

- The Veneno is painted in a grey metallic-look color with individual parts gleaming in the black of the visible carbon-fiber structure. The only car to display all three colors of the Italian flag as an accent is the car shown at Geneva, the unit which will remain property of Lamborghini. The three cars sold to customers each feature a single color of the Italian national flag, together a triology in green, white and red accents and thus representing each a unique piece.

- With a dry weight of 1,450 kilograms (3,190 pounds), the Veneno is 125 kilos (275 pounds) lighter than the already lean Aventador. The beneficial power-to-weight ratio of 1.93 kg/hp (4,25 lbs/hp) guarantees performance
