You’ll never take delivery on a Lamborghini Veneno. But this guy did … and we’re jealous

It’s been nearly a year since the last Geneva Auto Show, where Lamborghini celebrated its 50th anniversary with the unveiling of its Veneno, a $4 million hypercar based loosely on the Aventador that we love, love, love. Since then, there have been pics and video aplenty of the Veneno coupes and roadsters in the desert, on the track, and sitting next to fighter jets in the UAE. However, we haven’t seen a single shot of the car prowling around on the street.

Well, that’s about to change, since Veneno No. 2 has finally been delivered to its buyer in Miami Beach. According to our friends over at the duPont Registry, the Lamborghini’s new owner, Kris Singh, just completed the highest-ever recorded transaction for a new car, at $4,106,000. Singh is the manager of a private investment firm.

The Veneno is powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine, which produces a blistering 740 horsepower, capable of launching the car from 0-60 in only 2.9 seconds, and a top speed of 220 miles per hour. Lamborghini has only produced three Veneno coupes, each of which was spoken for many, many months ago.

Check out this video of the delivery of the man we currently envy most.

Which EVs come with the best free EV chargers?
ChargePoint Home EV charger plugged into car.

Charging at home is a big part of owning an EV. DC fast charging is great, but it's nowhere near as convenient as charging at home, more expensive, and not as good for your car's battery. As such, most EV buyers will want to charge at home if possible. Thankfully, many EVs come with a home charger that you can use as soon as you get your shiny new car into your driveway.

But not all home chargers are created equal. Some are faster than others, and that can play a big role in how you charge your vehicle and when. Curious about who offers the best EV chargers for free with their cars? Here's a look at all the major EV manufacturers and what you'll get with their vehicles.

Toyota bets big on air taxis with $500M investment in Joby

Flying taxis, once the stuff of sci-fi movies, were widely expected to make a big splash by whizzing over the city of lights during festivities at the Paris Olympics last summer -- before getting scrapped due to certification concerns.

That isn’t stopping Toyota from pouring more money into air mobility.
