Lamborghini Veneno Roadster For Sale

Lamborghini Veneno Roadster: model overview

Built in 2014 to celebrate Lamborghini's 50th anniversary, the Veneno Roadster is the open-top member of one of the brand's most extreme Few-Off families. It is based on the Aventador's architecture but reworked into what Lamborghini describes as a racing prototype for the road: the carbon-fibre monocoque and CFRP body are shaped almost entirely around aerodynamic efficiency and high-speed stability. The mid-rear 6.5-litre naturally aspirated 60° V12 (engine code L539) is uprated to 750 hp (552 kW) and 690 Nm, driving all four wheels through the 7-speed ISR automated manual. Lamborghini quotes 0–100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and a 355 km/h top speed, from a dry weight of just 1,490 kg.

The defining feature is that the Roadster is genuinely open: there is no soft-top and no hard-top, only a rollover bar, it is a barchetta, not an Aventador Roadster with a removable panel. The cabin uses Forged Composite bucket seats and Lamborghini's CarbonSkin woven carbon-fibre trim over a visible carbon monocoque. Limited to nine cars worldwide and revealed dramatically aboard the Italian aircraft carrier Cavour in Abu Dhabi, the Veneno Roadster is a documentation- and provenance-led acquisition: with such a small population, a Lamborghini Veneno Roadster for sale should always be confirmed by chassis number, factory build sheet and ownership history.

Technical specification

A racing prototype for the road

The honest framing matters at this level. The Veneno Roadster is not an aesthetic special edition of the Aventador, it is an aerodynamics-led Few-Off where almost every surface does a job. The front end works as a large wing, the wheel arches channel airflow and cut lift, the flat underbody and aggressive rear diffuser generate downforce, and an adjustable rear wing and central fin add high-speed stability. Even the carbon turbine rings on the wheels exist to feed cooling air to the carbon-ceramic brakes. The result is one of the most radical road-legal open-top hypercars Lamborghini has built, closer to a homologated track car than a convertible grand tourer.

Veneno Coupé vs Roadster

The two share the same 750 hp V12 hypercar concept but differ in body and population. The Roadster is the fully open version, no roof at all, only a rollover bar, and is the figure to use for this page: nine cars worldwide, built in 2014. The Coupé is rarer still in customer-car form, but it is a distinct model and should not be conflated with the Roadster count. For a buyer, the Roadster's appeal is the combination of open-air theatre, extreme aero and a fixed, finite population of nine.

Production and rarity

Lamborghini stated "not more than nine units" for the Veneno Roadster, all built during 2014. The common trap is to blur coupés, prototypes and show cars into the count; for a Roadster page the correct, defensible figure is nine cars produced. The car's launch story adds to its standing: it was unveiled aboard the Italian Navy aircraft carrier Cavour in Abu Dhabi, cementing its place as one of the most theatrical and collectible modern Lamborghini Few-Offs. Each "1 of 9" claim should still be matched to the chassis number and factory build sheet.

Market context

New, the Veneno Roadster was €3.3M before tax (a US sticker around $4.5M is often cited). The public market is thin but verifiable: Bonhams sold one for CHF 8,280,000 at its 2019 Bonmont sale, and another traded at $6,000,000 through SBX Cars in 2024, giving a verifiable public anchor of roughly $6M–$8.3M. Private asking prices run higher, and dealer/listing-held cars are advertised from about $7.0M to $15M depending on chassis, mileage, provenance, specification, country, taxes and seller motivation. The important discipline is not to assume a fixed "$10M+" figure without evidence: asking price is not transaction price, and each car must be assessed individually against the public results and its own documentation.
