Lamborghini Veneno Roadster: Seized Hypercar fetches $eight.four Million
The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster was amongst a fleet of unique vehicles seized from the Vice President of Equatorial Guinea.
This super-rare and hard-to-find Lamborghini Veneno Roadster was auctioned off at a Bonhams public sale in Cheserex, Switzerland for the equal of $eight.four million.
