25 Most Expensive Lamborghinis Of All Time, Ranked

When Ferruccio Lamborghini established his car company in 1963,  his unrelenting desire to improve and innovate inspired the creation of now iconic models such as the Miura and later the Countach. Today Lamborgini supercars are among the best-performing, most exotic, most outrageous automobiles on the road.

The cars' prices reflect those features, and numerous characteristics key to the Lamborghini legend contribute to the high initial cost of these exotic cars and help them maintain a high resale value. Many iconic Lamborghinis are produced in limited numbers, use high-quality components such as carbon fiber or leather, and operate as high-performance vehicles, all while being backed up by the Lamborghini badge.

For many buyers, even the least expensive Lamborghini on this list is too expensive for most, but it is always fun to see just how astonishing the pricing for some of the most famous vehicles to ever wear the Raging Bull emblem can get. Here are some of the most expensive Lamborghinis of all time.

2008 Lamborghini Murcielago Versace Edition — $154,000

There's a surprising amount of co-operation in the Italian ultra-luxury world, and occasionally that results in two of the country's most iconic brands pairing up to create something unique. The vehicle isn't as shocking as you may expect, and doesn't scream "Versace" on the outside, in fact it's usually just one solid color. So plain black, or white.

You will notice the logo of the famous designer on things like the floor mats. The brand's pattern is also present on numerous bits of interior trim, including the door lining and on the center console. It's not the first time Lamborghini has paired up with Versace. An Aventador with a wrap designed to make it look a little like a pair of the Italian fashion house's shoes is kicking around in 50 Cent's collection by all accounts.

Only 20 of the vehicles were produced in total, with #9 selling for €149,500 ($154,000) back in 2021. So, while this is one of the most unique Lambos on the market, it's actually one of the cheaper options on this list. Should you be able to find one in the first place, that is.

2022 Lamborghini Urus — $221,506

The 2022 Lamborghini Urus may be the ideal vehicle for the supercar enthusiast looking for performance features such as all-wheel drive, sport-tuned suspension, and the conveniences of an SUV. The front-engine, 5-passenger, 4-door hatchback (SUV) is equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 that generates 641 hp at 6000 rpm and 627 lb-ft at 2250 rpm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Urus is one of the quickest SUVs in its class, accelerating to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph.

Carbon-ceramic brakes keep this speedy SUV in check, while a front and rear multilink sport-tuned suspension along with permanent all-wheel drive and quick steering give the car stable high-speed cornering. The SUV is fitted with air springs at all four wheels allowing adjustable ride heights in various drive modes.

Lamborghini offers the Uru with standard features that include leather upholstery, heated front seats, 21-inch wheels, adaptive LED headlights, and an Audi-sourced 12.3-inch dual touchscreen infotainment system. Pricing begins at $221,506.

2023 Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato — $278,000

Occasionally, a manufacturer will do something that seems a little silly with one of its supercars. Porsche has the Dakar, Ariel has the Nomad, and Lamborghini has the Huracan Sterrato. What all three of these vehicles have in common is this: They aren't specced to bash out laps around a tarmac clad track. Instead, they exist to take the sort of performance you would expect from a European sports car offroad.

Advertisement

This includes chunky off roading tires, a locking center differential, and a technically practical roof rack. It's all a bit silly, and that's exactly what you want from this kind of vehicle. Only 1,499 Huracan Sterratos were made, with around half of those selling in the United States. Those folks who had a good enough reputation with their local Lambo dealer to snag one were paying anywhere north of $278,000 for their own offroad Lambo, though that figure went north quickly once options were piled on top. Given the uniqueness and scarcity of this particular model, the near $300,000 price tag is only going to continue to climb as time goes on.

2025 Lamborghini Temerario — $290,000

There are plenty of collectible Lamborghini models on this list, but brand-new ones are still pricy enough to be here. Enter, the Temerario, which Lamborghini released for the 2025 model year, taking the place of the iconic Huracán in the automaker's lineup. There are two main trim levels of the Temerario. The base trim and the Alleggerita package, which adds a bunch of carbon fiber pieces to lighten the car. Both trims have many color options for both the interior and exterior, along with a variety of other packages that you can add to it. You can spend hours in the car's configurator. 

Advertisement

The base price of the Temerario is roughly $290,000, before any options or the Alleggerita package are added. Car reviewers estimate that the price can easily reach $350,000 or higher once it's fully equipped with every available option. On top of the plentiful options, the car comes equipped with a V8 engine good for 789 hp along with three electric motors to give the hybrid powertrain a total output of 907 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque.

 It's also quick. Lamborghini says the car can go to 62 mph in about 2.7 seconds, which is what you'd expect from a modern Lamborghini. Unlike most of the other entrants on the list where you need to wait for one to show up at auction, you can buy one of these brand new from Lamborghini directly, although as you saw, it'll cost you.

2009 Lamborghini Murciélago — $382,000

In 2001, Lamborghini introduced the Murciélago, named for a legendary nineteenth-century Spanish bull, as the successor to the famed Diablo. The muscular and aggressive style of the first models prompted some to label the supercar as outrageous, but the sleek, aerodynamic body hosting scissor doors is guaranteed to attract the attention of onlookers even if traveling at slow speeds.

Advertisement

Available as a coupé or convertible the roomy interior boasts comfortable leather seating and an infotainment system with navigation and premium sound. The roadster's soft-cloth Targa top is a challenge to use, and its insecure attachment mechanism makes it safer to remove when driving the car over 100 mph. The standard all-wheel drive gives the supercar sporty handling and helps it achieve remarkable acceleration, while an adjustable suspension allows the driver to raise the front end to avoid driveway and parking lot scraping.

The Murciélago is equipped with a 6.5-liter V12 that produces 632 hp at 8,000 rpm and 660 lb-ft of torque. The naturally aspirated engine is mated to a standard equipment six-speed manual transmission with a gated metal shifter but is also offered with an optional paddle-shifted e-gear manual. The car is fitted with front, center, and rear limited-slip differentials. The Murciélago accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds and achieves a top speed of 211 mph. At introduction, the Lamborghini Murciélago was among the most expensive cars on the market, with a base MSRP of $382,000.

2022 Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae — $546,847

After more than a decade as the flagship model of Lamborghini's line of exotic sports cars, the 2022 Aventador represented the last hurrah. Since its introduction, the supercar was a testbed for new technologies including the use of a carbon-fiber monocoque frame in place of one made with aluminum or steel.

Advertisement

In its last year, Lamborghini offered the Aventador in two models, a coupé or roadster. However, to celebrate the end of the line, the automaker built a limited edition of 600 (350 coupes and 250 roadsters) custom-equipped Aventadors designated the Ultimae. The mid-engine, all-wheel-drive, 2-door coupé or roadster is visually almost identical to the standard Aventador sans a few subtle details and some interior tweaks. While it still offers an inferior infotainment system and gas-guzzling fuel consumption, the custom car adds more horsepower.

The DOHC 48-valve naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 with aluminum block and heads and port fuel injection produces 769 hp at 8,500 rpm and 531 lb-ft of torque at 6,750 rpm. It is coupled with a 7-speed single-clutch automated manual that shifts without the smooth transition expected from a high-priced performance car. Lamborghini offered the Ultimae Coupe and Roadster for a base MSRP of $498,258 and $546,847, respectively.

2025 Lamborghini Revuelto — $608,000

The 2025 Lamborghini Revuelto is another car still available new as of this writing. It replaced the Aventador in Lamborghini's lineup and, like the Temerario, it's a hybrid with a monstrous 6.5-liter V12 along with three electric motors. The total output of these engines is 1,001 hp and 1,044 lb-ft of torque. That's good for a 0-60 mph time of about 2.2 seconds, making it a very quick Lamborghini indeed. Lamborghini also posts the engine sounds on the car's webpage, and it absolutely roars. 

Advertisement

For all of the above and more, you'll pay the low, low price of $608,000 and some change for the base model. Much like the Temerario, there are a host of add-ons that you can get, including paint color, some safety features, and more. Arguably the biggest upgrade is carbon fiber replacements for some body panels, which lighten the car. Some of the add-ons add some neat stuff, like the Parking Pack adds a top-view 3D camera and 12 parking sensors to make sure you don't mess up the $15,000 paint job. The top price with all options is a mystery, but it'll mostly likely well exceed $700,000 in total. 

Since it costs two to three times as much as some houses, we expect nothing less from Lamborghini than a high attention to detail. You can even fit one of these with a fire extinguisher if you want. In any case, it's the latest in Lamborghini's lineup and it still costs a pretty penny.

Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole — $860,000

The Lamborghini Countach line was made by the supercar maker for years. It started life as a concept car in the early 1970s and came into production in 1974. Thus, this car blurs the lines between a collectible and a sportscar. Even back in the 1980s, these things were fast, sporting engines well north of 400 horsepower, which was a lot in the 1980s. You can still buy these today, but like most classic cars, auctions will usually represent the only way to do it. The automaker ceased making the Countach in 1990 to make way for the Diablo.

Advertisement

Since Lamborghini made these for so long, prices can fluctuate quite a bit. Per Classic, the average price of a Countach at auction is around $586,000. However, the most expensive Lamborghini Countach sold was $860,000. That specific model was a 1987 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV — short for Quattrovalvole — in bright red. It included all original parts, a scant 4,527 miles on the odometer, and was in otherwise excellent condition. The most recent one sold, per Classic, is a 1986 model that had 25,476 miles and all original equipment for about $584,000. 

So, while these can get up to nearly a million dollars, the overwhelming majority go for around half that. That doesn't make it any more affordable by any stretch, but if you want a swift piece of history and have a few hundred thousand dollars to spend, these go up for auction fairly consistently.

2021 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster — $1 million

With a roof that folds down into the rear and a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 sitting underneath that, the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster might be all you need in an Italian supercar. Yes, the roof adds a bit of weight and around 0.1 seconds to the 0-60 time, but looking good is half the battle with something like a Lamborghini. The 770-horsepower supercar is still ripping to that standard benchmark in 2.9 seconds, so you aren't losing too much in terms of pace.

Advertisement

Handling is also a major factor with the Aventador SVJ Roadster. You get all wheel drive and all-wheel steering, so expect to switch lanes with plenty of stability, and go through tight turns with the utmost ease.

When they were available from a dealer, prospective buyers could expect to part with roughly $570,000 before getting their hands on an SVJ Roadster. A few years on, that price has essentially doubled and you can now expect to shell out just shy of $1 million if you're intent on adding this to your collection.

1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT — $1.1 million

Once the Countach left the market, Lamborghini didn't waste any time bringing out the Diablo. The automaker began selling them in 1990, with the final one rolling off out of the plant in 2001. All told, Lamborghini says that it made 2,903 units in total, which is rare enough to make the car a collector's item. For this list, though, we'll be focusing on the Diablo VT, a variant of the Diablo that Lamborghini launched in 1993 and continued until 2001. This one was unique in that it had all-wheel drive, with up to 40% of the power going to the front wheels. That helped the Lambo put the power down even better than the standard Diablo. 

Advertisement

Much like the Countach, there is a massive discrepancy between the most expensive one sold at auction and the standard price. Per Hagerty, the most expensive Diablo VT to go at auction was for a cool $1.1 million. The car was made for Donald Trump in 1997. It was painted in a one-of-one Blue Le Mans color and had a plaque with Trump's name on it. It is the most expensive Diablo VT ever to go at auction.

Versions of the Diablo VT not made for Donald Trump specifically tend to go for much less. Classic says that the average Diablo VT runs for about $350,000, with some going for as low as $132,000, making it actually more affordable than the Countach. 

Lamborghini Mansory Carbonado Apertos — $1.2 million

Lamborghini first presented its limited edition Aventador J, a one-off, open-top supercar at the Geneva Auto Show in 2012. At the same show, Mansory unveiled its completely tuned and modified Aventador LP700-4, the Carbonado Apertos. Mansory replaced all the Aventador body panels and parts with custom-made carbon fiber components giving the roadster a stealthy carbon texture appearance. The redesigned roadster included a new lower and deeper front bumper, large air intakes up front, massive side skirts, and wider fenders. The rear section features a stylish diffuser with fins that act as struts to support the rear wing.

Advertisement

While the Aventador comes from the factory with an interior most luxury supercar buyers long for, the Apertos has been upgraded to include black and yellow leather, Alcantara upholstery, and a matte carbon fiber finish everywhere. However, it is the B2 bomber-style weave stitching pattern on the seats, central console, and roof panels that distinguishes the car from its competition.

Mansory modified the Aventador's already impressive 6.5-liter V12 to give the Carbonado Apertos exceptional performance. The tuner upgraded the engine with motorsport pistons, connection rods, crankshaft, bearings, and cylinder heads. These changes along with the addition of twin turbochargers and a custom-made exhaust system resulted in an output of 1250 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. The tuned roadster accelerates from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 236 mph (380 km/h). The Mansory Carbonado Apertos is limited to just three units, each costing $1.2 million.

2010 Lamborghini Murciélago SV — $1.952 million

We've already talked about the Murciélago, so let's talk about its stablemate, the Murciélago SuperVeloce, or SV for short. Lamborghini started making these in 2009 and the premise was the same as the Diablo SV. The purpose was to reduce weight, increase power, and make it the fastest version of the Murciélago. As such, the SV variant received a slightly modified V12 engine that added a few more horsepower, with the carbon fiber add-ons reducing weight by 220 pounds. So, in short, if you want the fastest Murciélago, you want the SV version. 

Advertisement

As for the price, the SV is much like its Diablo and Countach predecessors. For the most part, you can find these vehicles at auction for around $640,000, give or take a couple hundred thousand dollars, but they can get much pricier than that. Per Hagerty, the highest price on a Murciélago SV was $1.952 million in late 2022. That is just slightly less than the $2 million in cash that 50 Cent shoved into his Murciélago in 2010. However, we were unable to find details about that specific sale. 

We were also able to find a 2010 model on sale for $1.7 million, which hasn't sold as of this writing. That particular car has 1,363 miles on the odometer and appears to be in good condition, so we assume the $1.952 million one was in similar shape. Even so, most still go that $640,000 average.

2008 Lamborghini Reventón Coupe — $1.952 million

We've already mentioned the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster, a wicked convertible inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter jet. Its closely related sibling, the Reventón Coupe, is just as well designed and equally expensive. Despite the similar names, the cars do have some differences. The Coupe isn't a convertible, for starters. The Roadster also has different wing and tail sections, and a few changes under the hood. Lamborghini built 20 Coupes and even fewer Roadsters, making the Roadster the slightly rarer vehicle of the two. 

Advertisement

Even with their differences, the prices are very similar. There have been three Coupes sold in the last few years and all of them topped the million-dollar price. The most expensive was a 2008 Lamborghini Reventón Coupe for $1.952 million, equaling the cost of the Murciélago SV. That's apropos since the Reventón Coupe is a special edition of the SV. In any case, the two-million-dollar car had 866 miles on the odometer and was otherwise in perfect condition. For their troubles, the buyer also got a shoulder bag and owner's manual. 

In the grand scheme, the Roadster was the more expensive of the two and for good reason. It's even more exclusive and convertibles just look cool. However, the F-22 Raptor is significantly more expensive, so it's still kind of a deal, right? It's okay, I'll show myself out.

Lamborghini Mansory Carbonado GT — $2 million

The Carbonado GT was developed from the Aventador LP700-4, a high-performance lightweight Lamborghini already built with ample carbon fiber. However, Mansory adds even more.

A redesigned front end features a carbon fiber splitter, a new hood, and carbon fiber side skirts, while the rear gets an enormous carbon fiber diffuser and rear wing. The Carbonado GT also boasts exposed carbon fiber wing mirrors, wider fender flares, and new side vents that augment cooling by increasing the airflow to the mid-mounted engine and the rear brakes. The Mansory supercar is finished in shades of copper merging with deep blacks. Significant modifications were made to the interior as well. Carbon fiber racing seats help keep the weight down and the revised dashboard center console and a redesigned sports steering wheel give the GT a different look.

Advertisement

Mansory installed a new ECU and exhaust system in the GT to improve performance. While the power output of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 6.5-liter V12 is impressive generating 690 bhp at 8,250 rpm and 509 lb-ft of torque at 5,500 rpm, the upgraded engine of the Carbonado GT produces 730 hp and 509 lb-ft of torque. The increase in power for this $2 million car produces an acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 221 mph.

Lamborghini Reventón Roadster — $2.2 million

The Lamborghini design team visited a European NATO base to study the F-22 Raptor fighter jet when seeking inspiration for the Reventón's shape. The limited-edition supercar, first introduced in 2008, has since become one of the most sought-after vehicles by high-performance sports car enthusiasts, as Lamborghini produced only 15 Reventón Roadsters following the limited production of 21 coupés. The two models are nearly identical except for the roof and power output.

Advertisement

Although the Reventón design is based on the Murciélago, it boasts much more carbon fiber, including most of the bodywork and the monocoque. For the roofless version, Lamborghini engineers added only minimal reinforcement to an already robust Reventón leaving the Roadster to weigh in at 3,725 lbs.

Equipped with a 6.5-liter all-aluminum V12 with four valves per cylinder featuring variable valve timing, the Roadster produces 670 hp at 8,000 rpm and 487 lb-ft of torque sent to all four wheels. The open-top version accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 205 mph, slightly slower than the coupé most likely due to the heavier weight and slight differences in aerodynamics. The estimated value of a 2008 Lamborghini Reventón coupé ranges from $1.8 to $2.1 million, making the rarer Roadster value closer to $2.2 million.

2022 Lamborghini Countach — $2.6 million

In 2022, Lamborghini executives decided to revive the Countach after 32 years. While the new Countach's distinctive throwback looks pay homage to the original, the performance and comfort represent significant advances in supercar technology.

Advertisement

The sharp edges and extreme angles that characterize the modern Lamborghini supercars were replaced by an overall smooth-flowing wedge shape. The triple hexagon taillight setup and quad-exhaust on the new Countach are almost identical to the original, and the car also boasts trademark hexagonal wheel arches and scissor doors. However, Lamborghini chose to leave off those oft-troublesome pop-up headlights and the fixed wing of the early models. The modern version has a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and body panels that help reduce the weight to 3,516 pounds.

The modern car, whose MSRP starts at $2.6 million, is configured in a hybrid setup. The 6.5-liter V12 gas engine producing 769 hp at 8,500 rpm and 531 lb-ft of torque is electrically assisted by a 48-volt electric motor that adds 33 hp (25-kW) and 26 lb-ft of torque for a total of 802 horsepower. The power is sent to all four wheels via a seven-speed automated manual transmission, which allows this supercar to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 2.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 221 mph.

Lamborghini Centenario — $2,695,000

Design-wise, the Centenario is arguably the most Lambo Lambo in the post-millennium era. There are elements of Aventador and Huracan in there, and it even foreshadows the Sian a little bit. It's like an over-the-top celebration of everything that followed the Diablo, from its looks to its borderline ridiculous levels of performance. Its looks are so staggering you'd be silly to customize it — even if you may be obliged to do so in a weird way.

Advertisement

Under the hood is a 6.5 liter naturally aspirated V12, capable of producing a staggering 759 horsepower and 690 lb-ft of torque. In context, that's over 140 more horsepower than the naturally aspirated V12 in a McLaren F1 will give you. Though the Cenrenario's top speed of 217 mph means the McLaren's record is safe, it's still one of the fastest cars Lamborghini has ever built. The vehicle's 0-60 time is also very impressive. You'll hit that benchmark in just 2.8 seconds should you choose to floor it.

The price is unlikely to go down due to the vehicle's rarity. Lamborghini capped the run of Centenarios at 40, with half of those being roadsters and the other half being coupes. As often happens when prestigious brands build an extremely limited run of cars, the vehicles were all sold out before it was unveiled. In 2016, the Centenario was priced at $1.9 million, the same for both the roadster and coupe versions. Fast-forward eight years, and that price has obviously increased—though it hasn't exploded to the same degree as other ultra-rare exotics. At the time of writing, one example of the vehicle is being sold for $2,695,000.

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento — $2.7 million

In 2011, Lamborghini named its new car, Sesto Elemento, after the sixth element of the Periodic Table: carbon. The name pays tribute to the extensive use of carbon fiber throughout the vehicle, resulting in an extremely lightweight supercar with exceptional acceleration and performance. In fact, the Sesto Elemento weighs a mere 999 kilograms.

Advertisement

Lamborghini built the car using the RTM-Lambo forged carbon fiber technique developed by the Advanced Composites Research Center. The method is also used for the construction of the automaker's flagship Aventador. Not only are the bodywork and other components made of carbon fiber, but the interior lacks most of the typical road car comforts to save weight. It is even devoid of seats. The driver sits on cushioning attached directly to the bodywork.

The V10 engine mated to a six-speed E Gear semi-automatic transmission produces 562 hp (570 CV) at 8,000 rpm and 539 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm. The exceptional weight-to-power ratio of only 1.75 kilograms per CV results in unparalleled performance, accelerating the supercar from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 2.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of over 200 mph. Lamborghini sold 20 Sesto Elemento — made for the track only — for a price of 1.8 million euros each, but in 2022 a model went up for sale at $2.7 million.

Advertisement

Lamborghini Aventador J — $2.8 million

The stunning Aventador J roadster is a one-off open-top supercar made in 2012 is neither a concept car nor a race car, but instead, a road-legal production car — if the term can be applied to a single unit. Although the J version engineers leveraged design features from the standard Aventador released the same year, removing the roof created a significant challenge. They redesigned the carbon fiber monocoque and added two safety bars behind the driver and passenger to maintain structural integrity lost with the roof removal.

Advertisement

The Aventador J was street-legal, but many of its features suggested a track car. It had no windshield, windows, or doors, and air conditioning and navigation were absent to save weight. Like most supercars, the J has countless components made of carbon fiber, including the rear wing and the aggressive-looking front spoiler finished in clear carbon fiber. The interior features seats, dashboard, and door panels made of Carbonskin, a soft and lightweight Lamborghini patented material made with woven carbon fibers.

The Aventador J is equipped with a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 generating 691 bhp at 8,250 rpm and 509 lb-ft of torque at 5,500 rpm. The one-off supercar accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 186 mph. The ultra-limited edition Aventador J sold for $2,800,000, making it one of the most expensive Lamborghini automobiles ever produced.

2017 Lamborghini Centenario Roadster — $3 million

Only 40 Centenario roadsters were made in total, and you can only drop the top on half of those. So, with just 20 Centenario Roadsters available, you're very unlikely to see one on the street. If you do, you can rest assured that the owner spent well into seven figures acquiring the limited-run vehicle. The super-rare hypercar can rip from 0-60 in around 2.8 seconds thanks to its CV aspirated V12. It will keep accelerating all the way up to 217 mph, so if someone does spot one, they may actually be seeing a blur rather than the ultra-rare Italian drop top they were expecting.

Advertisement

At the time of writing, there are a couple of the hyper-rare convertibles listed for sale with the price starting at around $3 million and one of the vehicles cropping up for around $3.5 million. As with all high-end vehicles, some negotiation is going to take place before it sells, and there's a good chance the final price isn't actually getting revealed at any point. But the uniqueness of this particular model, along with its extreme scarcity, makes that price seem about right.

2021 Lamborghini Sián — $3.5 million

The Lamborghini Sián represents a technological breakthrough for the supercar company as its first-ever hybrid production car. The 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine generating 774 hp and 531 lb.-ft of torque combines with a 48-volt e-motor producing 34 hp and 26 lb-ft of torque for a total of 808 hp, making it the automaker's most powerful road car.

Advertisement

The Sián uses supercapacitor technology to power the e-motor instead of traditional lithium-ion batteries. It can store and deploy a greater amount of energy at a faster rate than a lithium-ion battery of the same weight. Although the supercapacitor can deplete quickly, it can also recharge almost immediately with regenerative braking, and it helps smooth out the harshness between shifts by filling in the torque gaps. 

The Sián is fitted with a 7-speed ISR semi-automatic transmission and sends power to all four wheels. The supercar accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in under 2.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 217 mph. The Sián handles all that power by gripping the road with all-wheel traction and rear-wheel steering for taming the most challenging curves. Production began in 2020 and will continue through 2023 until the limit of 63 coupes has been reached. All have been sold for at least $3.5 million each.

Lamborghini Veneno Coupé — $4.5 million

Lamborghini made only 13 Veneno hypercars, nine of which were roadsters while the remaining four were coupes. Three coupes were sold and a fourth resides at the Museum of Lamborghini Technologies in Sant'Agata Bolognese. Lamborghini offered the Veneno with an MSRP of $4.5 million but the supercar most likely sold for much more.

Advertisement

Equipped with the same engine as the roadster, a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 producing 740 hp at 8,400 rpm and 507 lb-ft of torque at 5,500 rpm, the performance is identical. The mill is coupled to a seven-speed manual gearbox with five different driving modes, sending power to a permanent all-wheel drive system. This means that this version of the Veneno also accelerates to 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds to a maximum speed of 221 mph. Carbon-ceramic brakes with discs and aluminum fixed calipers with six pistons in the front and four pistons in the rear ensure a short stopping distance.

The body, made with aircraft-grade carbon fiber, and the aluminum front and rear subframes contribute to its lightweight. Lamborghini used components designed for the track including a pushrod suspension with horizontal spring-damper units to construct the Veneno. Even the interior theme, with significant use of carbon fiber, is driven by weight savings. The 20-inch front wheels and 22-inch rear wheels are fitted with Pirelli P Zero tires and the center-locking hubs allow for quicker changes for owners who want to simulate a track pit stop.

2021 Lamborghini Sian Roadster — $5.5 million

Lamborghini has a handful of hybrids in its lineup, and the Sian Roadster may be the priciest of the bunch. The rare convertible was first unveiled back in 2020, with the few examples offered selling before the majority of people even knew it existed.

A supercapacitor-powered e-motor adds around 34 horsepower to the mix, bringing the total output to 819 when paired with the vehicle's hefty V12. While that may not seem like a lot, the motor comes in handy when running at "low" speed, can smooth out gear changes, and boosts acceleration. 

So what's the difference between the Sian Roadster and the Sian? As the name suggests, the top can be dropped on the roadster. The convertible option will currently set you back $5.5 million at the very least. That's mainly because there are only 19 of these magnificent machines worldwide, and Lamborghini won't be making any more in future.

Lamborghini Veneno Roadster — $8.3 million

In 2014, Lamborghini celebrated its 50th anniversary with the introduction of the Veneno Roadster offered at a base price of $4.5 million. Only nine cars were made, and one model fetched a price of $8.3 million in 2019, making it the most expensive Lamborghini ever sold at an auction.

Lamborghini engineers designed the car's shape for optimal aerodynamics to achieve maximum acceleration and ensure stability when powering through sharp curves. The forward-sloping front end that transitions smoothly into the windshield acts like a large aerodynamic wing. The Veneno Roadster is built with a smooth underbody that flows into a substantial diffuser encompassing the four ample exhaust pipes, and optimal engine cooling is achieved via large openings that direct airflow to the rear wing. 

The divided rear fenders borrow their shape from race cars optimizing airflow on the back end. The adjustable rear wing is the result of years of motorsport experience and extensive aerodynamic simulation creating an interaction with the rear diffuser that produces the downforce needed to hold the road through tight turns.

The Veneno Roadster is made almost entirely from carbon fiber including its monocoque, all the body panels, and most of the interior, resulting in a weight of just 3,200 lbs and exceptional performance. Like its counterpart, the Veneno Coupé, the Roadster is equipped with a mid-mounted 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine that produces 740 hp and accelerates the supercar to 62 mph in a blistering 2.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 221 mph.

Lamborghini Egoista — $117 million

At the top of the food chain is the Lamborghini Egoista, which is, by far, the most expensive Lamborghini ever sold. This one-off concept car was introduced in 2013 and looks like something you'd see in a sci-fi movie. Built to commemorate Lamborghini's 50th anniversary, it definitely stands out in a crowd with its matte gray-blue finish, bright orange rims, and bright orange window glass. Somewhat comically, the name translates to "selfish" in Italian, with Lamborghini designer Walter De Silva calling it "hedonism taken to the extreme."

Okay, we've buried the lede long enough. Lamborghini apparently sold this car to a private collector for $117 million, and no, that isn't a typo. The private collector is still unnamed to this day, but the list of people with that much money to throw around is rather small. In any case, the car wasn't initially made for sale but every company, even Lamborghini, has its price. 

The interesting part about this is that no real official announcement about the sale has been made, so the fact that the car sold for that price tag is not confirmed fact. All anyone knows for sure is that reports were made and the car disappeared from its display at the Lamborghini Museum in Sant'Agata Bolognese. Whether or not the reports are true is something only one very rich, very private person and Lamborghini know for sure.
