One of the rarest modern Lamborghinis has surfaced for public sale, with a 2014 Lamborghini Veneno Coupe listed for $16.9 million on duPont Registry. Built to celebrate Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary, the Veneno sits in a category of its own, even among hypercars, with production capped at just three coupes worldwide. Seeing one offered openly, rather than traded quietly between collectors, is an event in itself.
The Veneno was never meant to be subtle, its extreme aerodynamic bodywork, sharp surfaces, and exposed carbon elements were designed to showcase Lamborghini’s most aggressive interpretation of road-legal performance. This particular example is finished in a bespoke Ad Personam silver over visible carbon fibre, a specification chosen by its original owner to emphasise the car’s technical character rather than hide it under colour.
A Specification Built Around Rarity
With just 125 miles on the odometer, this Veneno remains effectively unused. Power comes from Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, producing over 740 horsepower and driving all four wheels through a single-clutch automated transmission. Performance figures were headline-grabbing at launch, but the Veneno’s appeal today is driven far more by scarcity than outright speed.
The car was specified without many modern conveniences, including navigation, Bluetooth, heated seats, or cup holders, reinforcing its focus on weight reduction and mechanical purity. Carbon ceramic brakes, lightweight wheels, and extensive carbon fibre inside and out underline the Veneno’s roots as a statement piece rather than a grand tourer.
How The Price Got Here
Over the past ten years, Veneno values have been on the rise, with earlier listings already setting jaw-dropping records. Autoblog has previously reported on Veneno coupes hitting the market for over $8 million and later for over $11 million, highlighting how quickly the market for ultra-limited Lamborghinis has changed. Each new public listing has basically reset expectations, pushing the Veneno even further into the realm of collector-only cars.
What makes this $16.9 million example stand out is its timing. As modern hypercars become more complex and increasingly electrified, analogue, naturally aspirated flagships from well-known brands have gained more importance. The Veneno symbolises a time when excess, noise, and visual drama were still at the heart of Lamborghini’s identity.
A Collector Object First, A Car Second
The Veneno’s reputation has been shaped as much by spectacle as engineering. One of the most memorable appearances came when a Veneno Roadster was displayed on an aircraft carrier, reinforcing the car’s role as rolling theatre rather than daily transport. That sense of occasion continues to define how the Veneno is perceived today.
