Lamborghini is planning to produce a limited edition car, said to be the fastest Lamborghini yet.  Lamborghini's brand design director Filippo Perini said, "It will be the fastest car Lamborghini has ever produced and will be very low volume.  Less than 10 cars will be produced and most of them have most likely been sold."  But as of now, we have no idea what it could be, but I think it will be some kind of Aventador special edition, such as the Aventador J.  I guess we will have to find out at Geneva in March.  Picture is of the Lamborghini Aventador.
