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

By Davis Adams Published January 25, 2014

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.

Volvo is rolling out Apple Music to over 2 million cars with a simple OTA update

Your Volvo may soon get Apple Music without needing CarPlay

Interior view of the 2024 Volvo EX90.

The line between your smartphone and your car continues to blur. Volvo has announced that it is rolling out an over-the-air software update that brings Apple Music directly to the infotainment systems of more than 2 million vehicles worldwide. Instead of relying on Apple CarPlay or plugging in an iPhone, eligible drivers will be able to stream music natively from their car's built-in system, making Apple Music another integrated feature of Volvo's software experience.

The update is arriving for a wide range of Volvo models, including the EX90, ES90, XC90, S90, V90, XC60, S60, V60, XC40, EX40 and EC40, covering model year 2020 onwards. Availability, however, may vary depending on the vehicle.

Chery's premium arm just dropped a sedan that makes you wonder why American EVs cost twice as much for half the tech.

Exeed's 2027 Exlantix ES ships with a driver-assist system called Falcon 700. It is built around an Nvidia Orin-Y chip and a genuinely stacked sensor suite.

A new AI model wants self-driving cars to think before they swerve

Forget guessing games, this self-driving AI actually shows its work.

Self driving car

Self-driving cars have gotten pretty good at driving. The harder problem is teaching them to drive safely in situations nobody planned for. We have heard horror stories of self-driving cars, behaving erratically in emergency situations, often times delaying first responders from reaching the scene.

A team at Seoul National University, led by professor Jun Won Choi from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, thinks they have cracked part of that puzzle with a new AI model called SafeDrive. The research was recently selected as a highlight paper at CVPR 2026, a distinction that goes only to roughly 3% of all submissions.
