SBX Cars Celebrates the Most Expensive Online Auction Sale Ever

SBX Cars celebrated the the most valuable car ever transacted via an online-only auction platform with the sale of a 2015 Lamborghini Veneno Roadster for $6 million.  The sale surpasses a 2017 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, which previously sold at online auction for $5.36 million in 2022. 

The sale marks a milestone for the newly founded SBX Cars platform, which has only been live for two months, according to the company. The Veneno Roadster, one of only nine worldwide, had previously appeared at a well-known in-person auction house in 2020, but failed to sell. SBX Cars finalized the Veneno Roadster sale post-auction.

Based on the Lamborghini Aventador, the Veneno was developed to celebrate the Italian luxury sports car and SUV manufacturer’s 50th anniversary. Available in both coupe and roadster variants, the latter made its public debut on board the Italian naval aircraft carrier Nave Cavour in December 2013.

With a maximum output of 740 hp, the 6.5-liter, naturally aspirated V12 Veneno Roadster accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 221 mph.

Finished in a matte black over an interior trimmed in lime green and black leather, the super sports car also boasts lime-green pinstriping on the exterior, adding a touch of contrast and personality to its fighter-jet-like bodywork. The vehicle offered by SBX Cars was offered in virtually as-new condition both inside and out, with only 1,778 kilometers (approximately 1,105 miles) on the odometer.

SBX Cars will look to set another world record when it brings to auction one of only three Lamborghini Veneno Coupes in the coming weeks. For more information on the 127-mile Veneno Coupe, click here.
