Lamborghini promises all-new limited-edition model for Geneva

CEO Stephan Winkelmann claims it won\'t simply be an upgraded Aventador or Huracan.

Lamborghini has promised to reveal an all-new limited-edition model in Geneva, celebrating 100 years since the birth of founder Ferrucio Lamborghini.

The new nameplate will not simply be a lightly modified Aventador or Huracan, nor a one-off design study, but rather an entirely new car. Only 20 examples will roll off the assembly line, matching the production numbers for the Sesto Elemento.

"You are familiar with our one-offs - it will be something like this, a coupe bodystyle," CEO Stephan Winkelmann told Auto Express in an interview. "The car we will show will be a completely different design from both Huracán and Aventador."

The company recently submitted trademark filings for the Egoista, a wild one-seater concept, however an unnamed insider suggests the new model, expected to be called the Centenario, will be surprisingly tame.

Unveiled last year in Paris, the Asterion concept (pictured) meshes with the claims of toned-down styling. It was presented as a grand tourer with flowing contours, however Winkelmann flatly rejected production plans for the gasoline-electric hybrid.

Whatever form the body takes, the Centanario is presumed to be powered by the Aventador's 6.5-liter V12 engine. Horsepower could be bumped up slightly, potentially exceeding the Superveloce's 750-pony tune.
