The Most Expensive Car in the World!

The rear view of The Venom. The only view most of us will ever see! 

My previous blog dealt with President Barack Obama's cool wheels, "The Beast" which carries Mr. Obama himself with four guests, plus the driver and chief of security. The cost for the super cool Beast was $1,500,000. He has two.

This blog I want to focus on the most costly car anywhere in the world. This is a car so over the top that most zillionaires wouldn't even covet one. That is just as well as only four have ever been built: one in all black for the museum, (that is called Car Zero) and three for sale. One is all red; one is white, and the remaining one is green, although in reality they should be seen as all green because that is what you need a lot of to pay for each one.

The sales price was 3,120,000 euros, which is just about $4million at today's exchange rate.

So, what's so special about this model of car? It was built by Lamborghini who created the Aventador to celebrate their 50th anniversary on which the Veneno (The Venom) is designed. They took a really great sports car in the form of The Aventador and refined it to the ultimate degree and gave the world the Venom.

The specs of The Venom are as follows:
It has a 6,498 cc engine
It develops maximum 740 bhp at 8,250 rpms.
Fuel consumption is a surprising 17.2 litres per 100 kilometres.
The engine is a 6.5 litres V-12
0 to 62mph is achieved in 2.9 secs, but equally important it will go from 60 to 0 in 100 feet.
Top speed is set at 354mph.
It carries one driver and one passenger and only two overnight bags.

There is not much else that can be said about this car except you and I can't have one, and if I had one I have no idea what I would do with it. They have all been sold. The interesting thing is one was bought as a gift to one very lucky recipient.
