LAMBORGHINI CENTENARIO

-


The Lamborghini Centenarió is a limited production sports car based on the Lamborghini Aventador which was unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show to commemorate the 100th birthday of the company's founder, Ferrucio Lamborghini.[2]

Development and introduction[edit]

Lamborghini developed the Centenarió to showcase the advancement of new technologies and also as a test bed for the development of new Lamborghini models.
The Centenarió is the first Lamborghini automobile to be employed with Rear-wheel steering, a system designed to provide added maneuverability at low speed city driving environment and stability at high speeds.
The car is also the first Lamborghini model to be equipped with the company's new infotainment system. The system consists of a new 10.1-inch portrait screen which also records telemetry and driving data.
The extensive use of carbon-fibre throughout the construction of the car allows it to be 55 kg (121 lb) lighter than the Aventador.
The car also serves as a base for showcasing the new aerodynamic advancements developed by the company. A twin-deck splitter at the front helps in generating downforce as well as to let air pass through the side of the car while working in conjunction with the side blades. The Centenarió also has the largest rear diffusers to ever be incorporated into a car, the diffusers along with the electronically controlled twin deck rear-wing aids further in downforce. The car generates 227 kg (500 lb) at 280 km/h (174 mph).[3]

Specifications[edit]

Rear view
The Centenarió is based on the Aventador SV and retains the carbon-fibre monocoque along with aluminium front and rear subframes from the standard Aventador. Power comes from a tuned version of the Aventador's 6.5-litre V12 generating 770 PS (566 kW; 759 hp) at 8,500 rpm and 690 N⋅m (509 lb⋅ft) of torque at 5,500 rpm.
The engine is mated to the same 7-speed ISR semi-automatic transmission as used on an Aventador along with the all-wheel-drive drivetrain developed by Haldex. The power steering has two turns lock-to-lock. The suspension system is a push-rod design.
The car has three driving modes, namely, "Strada" (for normal city driving), "Sport" (for high performance driving) and "Corsa" (for optimum track performance). The car comes with either leather or Alcantara upholstery on the interior mostly carried over from the Aventador, customisable to the customer's specifications. The interior has a carbon fibre trim along with carbon fibre shift pedals and has sound deadening materials removed.[4]

Performance[edit]

The car can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.8 seconds, 0–299 km/h (0–186 mph) in 23.5 seconds and has a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).
The Lamborghini Centenarió has a power to weight ratio of 2.18 kg (4.81 lb) per horsepower and a braking distance of 30 m (98 ft) from 62–0 mph (100–0 km/h).[1]

Centenarió Roadster[edit]

Lamborghini unveiled the Centenarió Roadster at the August 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The only dimension change over the coupé counterpart is the weight of the car, which is now set to at least 1,570 kg (3,461 lb). Performance remains the same as that of the coupé.[5]
