GENEVA MOTOR SHOW: Lambo’s 570kW Centenario LP 770-4 leaked

Lamborghini’s all-new supercar celebration for what would be the 100th birthday of its founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini, has been revealed online.

The images, believed to have been leaked by French car blog Automoto.fr, are said to be official patent designs that were submitted by the car-maker in October 2015.

Claimed to be “a mix of technology demonstrator and street-legal car”, the new supercar -- to be called the Centenario LP770-4 -- follows in the tyre tracks of the Sesto Elemento, Aventador J and the Reventon.

Originally, it was thought the new hypercar, which is expected to come with extreme weight savings and a state-of-the-art aero package, would be based on a heavily modified Huracan platform, but the drawing’s extreme dimensions suggest that beneath its carbon-fibre body work are the Aventador’s underpinnings.

That’s why the Centenario is also powered by a development of the Aventador’s 6.5-litre V12 and will produce as much as 566kW.

With this level of performance, expect the lighter, re-clothed all-wheel drive Aventador to hit 100km/h in around 2.7 seconds and top out in excess of 350km/h.

Just 20 coupes and 20 roadsters will be made and all are reportedly already sold for around $3 million each.

More is expected to be revealed in the coming weeks ahead of the Geneva motor show opening on March 1.
