CENTENARIO
CENTE-NARIO : 100 YEARS OF PERFECTION
In his birth centenary in 2016 Lamborghini has built a special edition supercar to pay tribute to their founder.
Significantly named as Centenario the car made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2016.
Only 40 units of the car are to be built, 20 coupe and 20 roadster versions, and as Lamborghini claims, all the units were already sold prior to the debut.
In his presentation speech at Geneva Motor Show Automobili Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann has said, “The Centenario is a car that perfectly combines tradition and innovation.
It looks to the future while honouring the legend that is Ferruccio Lamborghini.”
He also said, “It is the most fitting tribute to Ferruccio Lamborghini in his centenary year: a man, who created an exceptional brand, believed that anything was possible, and produced extraordinary, iconic cars.
The Centenario is a super sports car for Ferruccio Lamborghini and the future he and we believe in today.”

BLACK PAPER WHITE PEN : THE DESIGN
Lamborghin’s R&D boss Maurizio Reggiani added: “This will be the first time we have put so much content into one special car”.
The Italian company will use the car to both celebrate its past and point towards some future technology that will be used on its other production models.
“On one hand it is for collectors and lovers of the brand, it is also a celebration in this sense, but on the other hand it is also for Maurizio Reggiani and his team to demonstrate what they able to do with technical innovations,” said Winkelmann.
He added that the car would be a “good combination of ambition and knowledge”, showing off Lamborghini’s skills: “When you are a two-model company, you show something that is radically new for production every four or five years, that’s it.

INTERIOR:
The luxurious interior can be finished to each Centenario client's specification.
Sports seats in lightweight carbon fiber are included, with new stitching that features on the length of the dashboard, steering wheel, sunvisors, rocker covers, and the new inner door panels made of carbon fiber and Alcantara.
Functionality and connectivity are essential features of the Centenario.
Including satellite navigation, a high definition 10.1 inch touchscreen connects the Centenario driver to both the car and the outside world.
Users may browse the internet, connect to email and social media and use online applications such as web radio.
Apple CarPlay is included, allowing a safe, effective way to make calls, request directions, play music and access the functionality of an iPhone.
The infotainment system includes a sophisticated telemetry function: the Centenario provides ultimate performance, both on road and, should an owner wish, on track: as evidenced by space for two helmets in the front trunk! The highly sophisticated telemetry allows speeds, times, lateral and G forces to be recorded and even compared between different occasions and different drivers.
Two optional interior cameras allow the drivers' experiences to be recorded.
