The Most Expensive Lamborghinis Ever Built

After its formation in 1963, Ferrucio Lamborghini had the idea of producing exotic cars, especially grand tourers to compete with the already famous Ferrari. The Miura was the company’s first sports coupe with a mid-engined rear-wheel-drive configuration. After Audi acquired the Italian sports car company in 1998, Lamborghini began to benefit from German tech and luxury. The brand’s first modern performance SUV, the Urus, was introduced in 2019 and has a starting price of around $230,000. The performance roadster Huracan EVO Spyder, which is one of the most popular exotic convertibles, sells for about $240,000. Owning a Lamborghini car is something we all dream of, but they are highly expensive and out of reach for most. The most recent Lamborghini released is the Countach, a model that is based on the Lamborghini Sian, which is in turn based on the Aventador SVJ. Could you guess the price? It's $2,640,000. But this isn't the most expensive Lamborghini. In fact, it's far from it. Here is a list of the top five most expensive Lamborghini cars ever built.

1 Egoista Concept - $117 Million

The Egoista is the only single-seater supercar ever made with the Lamborghini tag. Although it was never designed by Lamborghini but by a senior designer from VAG named Walter De Silva. The overall design inspiration has been taken from that of a fighter jet. The inside is more prominent like the ones found inside the F1 cars. According to reports, the Egoista features a body that is made out of anti-radar materials, like a jet. The body panels are highly aerodynamic helping the supercar to create downforce and create less drag. The Lamborghini Egoista was unveiled following the company’s 50th anniversary and was limited to just one model. The supercar now has been priced at a whopping $117 Million and now resides in Sant’Agata Bolognese Lamborghini museum. This Lamborghini car is powered by a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V-10 engine that is capable of putting out about 600 horsepower. Its unique body style and materials used contribute to making its value sky-high. The name means “selfish” in many European languages including Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. It makes sense because it's a one-seater exotic car where only one person can enjoy the driving pleasure.

2 Veneno Roadster - $9.5 Million

Red Lamborghini Veneno Roadster — Lamborghini

Back in 2013, Lamborghini launched the Veneno, marking the company's 50th anniversary. The Veneno Roadster, on the other hand, was launched in 2014 featuring everything the standard Veneno is but has an open-top, hence the name Roadster. Based heavily on the Aventador, the Veneno Roadster has the same monocoque chassis but this time, it is all carbon fiber. The design is what makes it look more unique than the Aventador. With its pointed front fascia, sleek LED lighting, broad air intake vents, 21-inch wheels, incredibly low ride height, and aerodynamic bits and body parts, the Roadster resembles a real-life Batmobile if Batman was real. If you are lucky to get your hands on the Veneno Roadster now and buy it, it will cost you about $9.5 Million, and though that was the last recorded in 2018, you can expect the price to go beyond $10 Million. So, what are you getting for that price? There is a beast of a beating heart under the hood: a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V-12 engine which puts out 750 horsepower, 507 pound-feet of torque, and drives all four wheels. The gearbox is a seven-speed ISR that claims to shift 50 percent faster than a DCT. The interior is filled with carbon fiber while the dashboard top and the seats have Alcantara laying for added luxury.

3 Veneno - $5.3 Million

The standard Veneno is how a supercar should be and it was way ahead of its time in terms of the overall design. Launched back in 2013 the Veneno carries the Aventador roots but adds its flair of uniqueness. The name was derived from an Italian fighting bull that happened to injure a famous bullfighter. When launched, the Veneno was limited to only three units and was sold out instantly. Its chassis and body parts are made of carbon fiber to help shed weight, and it even has a good power-to-weight ratio. At the time of its unveiling, it was priced about $3.9 Million, but the last recorded price was about $5.3 Million. As it was just a three-unit exotic car, a lot of people waited to get their hands on it as it is super rare. The high-quality materials and the sheer Lamborghini thrill are what make it bargain a higher price. The powertrain is the same 6.5-liter naturally aspirated 60-degree V-12 engine from the Aventador. The power drawn from the engine is a massive 750 horsepower and 507 pound-feet of torque. Like the Roadster, the standard Veneno drives all four wheels via a seven-speed ISR gearbox. The result? 0-62 miles per hour in a claimed 2.9 seconds and it can speed up to a whopping 221 miles per hour.

4 Sesto Elemento Concept - $2.8 Million

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento — Lamborghini

The Sesto Elemento was unveiled at the 2010 Paris Mondial de l’Automobile and it was just the way we expected it to be, raw. By the looks, it is different from the Murcielago but shares its underpinnings with the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera. This beast of a Lambo is even more aggressive with exposed carbon fiber parts and loads of aerodynamic fairings and vents. Although the wedge-shaped body is no longer a surprise coming from Lamborghini, the rear remains naked with a clear visual of the transmission and the exhausts. As a mid-engined supercar, the Sesto Elemento Concept weighs only 2,202 pounds, making it one of the lightest Lamborghini cars and that has been possible because the majority of its body is made up of carbon fiber. The Sesto Elemento is powered by a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V-10 which allows it to put out 570 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque. The result? 0-62 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds. Lamborghini did not disclose the top speed but it should go north of 185 miles per hour. The Sesto Elemento remains a non-street legal supercar. It was just a concept until Lamborghini received a ton of requests and decided to build a few more; about 20. It still is not a street-legal supercar. Still, if you want to buy it, consider paying $2.8 Million.

5 Aventador J - $2.8 Million

The Aventador J is one of the most valuable Lamborghini cars ever built. It was showcased at the Geneva Motor Show in 2012. While you think it is just Aventador, think again. Like the Miura Jota, the Aventador J (J is for Jota as per Lamborghini’s claim) is just a one-off super rare supercar. If you ask for the differences between the standard Aventador and the Aventador J, there are a few noticeable ones including the top-less design and a wider front diffuser. It is a Roadster with no windows, radio, or even air conditioning. All of these have been done to make sure that it weighs significantly less than the Aventador sports car. Not to forget its carbon body parts and the patented “carbon skin” used in the interior. As a result, the price of $2.8 Million was asked when launched, but it was already sold. The officials refused to name the lucky person. The $2.8-million price tag narrowly beat the reincarnated Lamborghini Countach is priced at $2.64 million. Like its roofed brother, the Aventador J is powered by the same 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V-12 engine which puts out 691 horsepower and 509 pound-feet of torque. It drives all four wheels, and has carbon-ceramic brakes, active suspension, sports exhausts, and a carbon fiber spoiler.
