Built to commemorate the company’s 50th anniversary, the Aventador LP 720-4 Roadster 50° Anniversario car bumps the standard Aventador Roadster’s horsepower to 720 from 700 and upgrades the car’s front and rear bumpers.   (David Undercoffler / Los Angeles Times)

This $3.9 million car is based on the Aventador, though this car has 750 total horsepower from the 6.5-liter V-12 engine. Curb weight is lowered through the extensive use of carbon fiber, for a savings of 275 pounds over a stock Aventador. Lamborghini says it will do zero-60 mph in 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 220 mph.  (David Undercoffler / Los Angeles Times)
