Lamborghini’s one-off Centenario supercar will make its UK debut at Salon Privé, which runs from September 1 to 3 at Blenheim Palace.
Built to honour the 100th birthday of company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini, the limited edition Lamborghini combines a lightweight carbon fibre tub and the most powerful V12 engine in the company’s history with 759 bhp, giving it a 0-62 m time of just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 217 mph.
It was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland earlier this year.
Just 20 coupés and 20 roadsters will be made and all are already sold, at a start price of $2 million.
Describing the Lamborghini Centenario, event co-founder David Bagley said: ‘It perfectly reflects Ferruccio Lamborghini’s passion for high performance without compromise, and it combines a purity of design with engineering excellence. We’re immensely proud to premiere such an important car at Salon Privé this year.”
Now in its 11th year, Salon Privé is firmly established as the UK’s most prestigious luxury supercar show and concours d’elégance.
The three-day event incorporates the Chubb Insurance Concours d’Élégance, Boodles Ladies’ Day and The Salon Privé Supercar Show, also showcasing The Pirelli Prestige & Performance Competition, the EFG Art and Memorabilia Fair and The Salon Privé Sale.
Salon Privé takes pride and place amongst the leading automotive shows of the world, including the US’s Pebble Beach and Italy’s Villa d’Este.
