What is the deal with this car?
Why does everyone talk about the P1, LaFerrari, and 918? Are they simply in a different class compared to the veneno? Where is the hype for this hypercar?
>>15652337
P1, LaF and 918 sold over 300 units each. Veneno is super-exclusive that only 3 were made and 9 roadsters were made. So no one actually got to test/review the Veneno.
Its just a dressed up/riced out aventador
>>15652372
>12 made
Literally why?
Is Lamborghini done competing at the top level?
>>15652372
not to mention those cars cost about 1mil, veneno about 3. FUCKING TRIPLE PRICE
>>15652337
It's a $300k Aventador with a $2.5M bodykit

Showcase car. Cars like that are just meant to be a rolling trophy case for the brand, to say "Hey look what's possible when we go balls out motherfuckers". They are built in low production numbers because they usually lose money for the company, so it makes no sense to build more than just a handful

Adding to it:
Also the Veneno isn't that special from the other Hypercars. The Veneno is just an another body on the existing Aventador platform. It's purely a collector's car.

except lamborghini does it every three years so youre rolling 3 million trophy case is outdated in three years
>>15652655
if you lose money on a car that you sell for 3mil you're doing something very wrong
veneno isn't even that cutting edge
>>15652736
cars aren't cheap to develop. usually you spread the cost over many many units, but if you only sell 3 of them...

>cars aren't cheap to develop
It's the design people are paying for. The Veneno hasn't even set any record breaking track records and such.
>>15652798
How does that change what I've said? Still expensive to design and build a body like that.
>>15652728
the people who buy a rolling trophy case have more than enough money to buy it again when a new one comes out in 3 years
>>15652802
it's a body kit slapped on aventador, not a completely new car
>>15652728
VW lost money on the Veyron
They also lost money on every Phaeton sold
Tesla lost money on every roadster
Most low production hyper cars are loss leaders
>>15652809
It's based on the aventador, it's not just a 'body kit'.
>>15652815
>VW lost money on the Veyron
depends on how you look at it. PRwise it's a massive success, which likely was the entire point
>>15652823
>Veneno not being about PR and promoting the brand
Same thing, different suit
