To mark 100 years since the birth of Ferruccio Lamborghini, the company he created built the $1.9 million Centenario. The new supercar packs a naturally aspirated V12 engine that will produce 770 horsepower. V12 engines are known for singing like Anna Netrebko, but this one hits an even higher note, redlining at 8,600 rpm to prove that yes, your eyes can open that much wider. And of course it’s made almost entirely of carbon fiber because, well, at this price, it damn well better be.

The humongous air scoops in the hood use air to push down on the front axle.

The rear wheels pitch in on the steering: At low speeds, they turn in the opposite direction of the front pair, tightening the car’s turning radius.

The Centenario is street legal, but nicely equipped for the track: It comes with carbon fiber seats, room for two helmets in the front trunk, and an option to include two interior cameras to record your exploits.
