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.

Rivian R2 vs R1S: How will Rivian’s cheaper SUV compare?
The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.

We’re finally getting to the fun part of automakers’ methodical quest to replicate their lineups with electric cars.

Performance versions of ordinary cars have been a staple of the auto industry for decades. But while we’ve already seen some variants of EVs boasting more power and more impressive stats — think Tesla Model S Plaid or Lucid Air Sapphire — the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is the first to truly apply that format to an EV.
