The Centenario is a special limited-edition Lamborghini created to commemorate Lamborghini founder Ferruccio Lamborghini's 100th birthday. Based on the Aventador, the Centenario was unveiled in 2016 for the 2017 model year and is powered by the Aventador's naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 upgraded to 759 horsepower. Torque figures remain the same as the Aventador at 509 pound-feet, along with their 0-100km/h (62 mph) time of 2.8 seconds and 217 mph top speed. Along with it being a special tribute vehicle, the Centenario is a heavily restyled, more exclusive Aventador that hinted at what the Aventador's successor could look like at the time it was new. The Centenario's design is primarily characterized by its aggressive front fascia, large side vents, extendable rear spoiler, and massive rear diffuser with six vertical fins and a three-pipe central exhaust system. Other upgrades included with the Centenario over most Aventador models are a rear-wheel steering system and an improved infotainment system with a 10.1-inch screen featuring Apple CarPlay, Wi-Fi connectivity, a performance data recorder, and other modern tech.
Production for the Centenario was limited to 40 total units, divided evenly between 20 coupes and 20 roadsters. It is currently valued at around $2-3 million on the resale market. This year's Exotics on Broadway marked my third time seeing a Centenario in person and the first time in about six years doing so. The other Centenario examples that I've seen up close were a roadster when that specific version debuted at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 2016 and a coupe in bare carbon fiber with red accents that happened to be on display at my local Audi/Porsche dealer soon after. In addition, this light blue Centenario was the coolest and rarest Lamborghini on display at this year's Exotics on Broadway in Monterey just over two months ago. Overall, the Lamborghini Centenario is an amazing and worthy special tribute supercar. It may be a restyled Aventador, but the Centenario's striking design, extremely limited production numbers, and excellent performance make it stand out more than most Lamborghinis in the best way possible.
