Veneno exterior Design to be Honed in a Wind Tunnel
The car with a futuristic design reminds you of Speed Racer’s Mach Five. The exterior has been honed in the wind tunnel to minimize the resistance. The nose of the car looks familiar and reminds you of Ferrari Enzo. The rear of the car features massive LeMans style shark fin spoilers. The wheel arches also help keep the air flowing over the fender flares. The three cars will be produced in the Italian colors red, green and white. The name Veneno has a historical significance. It was the name of a famous bull or should we call it infamous as it had killed a matador way back in 1914.
