Lamborghini today unveiled the world’s most expensive car - a super-aggressive model costing a staggering £3.36 million.
The jaw-dropping Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is a limited edition hypercar which goes without a roof.
It has been designed by the Italian firm to drive like a race car while being entirely road legal - making it one of the most extreme vehicles ever built.
