Exterior

Little has changed with the Aventador in terms of aesthetics. Few details have been altered since the release of the Aventador LP 700-4 model. Each model comes with Giallo Maggio paint finish that contrasts with a beautiful matte black tint and high gloss black wheels.

The car on display during the Shanghai Auto show was in May Yellow, which pays a tribute to the color that most Lamborghini owners prefer. The paintwork comes with a luminescent glitter effect that can only be found on this model.

Interior

On the inside of the limited edition, you will find exquisite and natural finishes lining the seats as well as the door panels. Semi-aniline leather, treated specifically for the special edition adds a classic Lamborghini touch.

Mums the word on the price of the Anniversario edition. Speculation has it that it will be hair above the Aventador 700-4.
