In Utah, a rare moment thrilled supercar enthusiasts and curious onlookers alike: the unveiling of a Lamborghini Centenario, a model celebrating 100 years of Ferruccio. Lamborghininow valued at over $4 million. And yet, what could have been a dream delivery turned into a scene of intense stress.
A Centenario that hadn't seen the light of day for 7 years
This is one of only 40 examples of the Centenario LP 770-4 in the world, and more precisely a coupé, of which only 20 were produced. Since its presentation in Las Vegas, this jewel of an automobile had not been seen, hidden from view in an undisclosed location. It's only now that it's back in the sunlight, before the astonished eyes of enthusiasts.
The scene would make any collector break out in a cold sweat: pulling a $4 million supercar out of a semi-trailer... onto two planks of wood. On TikTok and Instagrram, images show the red Centenario slowly rolling backwards on two skinny planks, every inch of the way increasing the tension. One false move and it was a catastrophe.
When the wheels finally hit the pavement, there's a general sigh of relief: the Centenario is intact.
An owner like no other
According to several sources, this Centenario is now owned by Stradman, the famous American automotive YouTuber. His story is inspiring: he made a name for himself when he bought a 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo from a modestly employed man, going so far as to live in his car to realize his dream. Today, he has more than 4 million subscribers and one of the most exclusive Lamborghinis ever built.
Beneath its sculptural body, the Centenario LP 770-4 houses a 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12 engine developing 770 hp. A true monster of power, it reaches 350 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds. Originally offered for around $2 million, its value has literally exploded, with some sales exceeding $4 million.
This delivery to Utah will live long in the memory. This time, all ended well: the Centenario was back on the road, and Stradman can now add to his collection a rolling museum piece, brought out of obscurity after 7 years of waiting.
