SBX Cars announced a new record with the sale of a Dubai-based 2015 Lamborghini Veneno Roadster for $6,000,000.

This transaction marks the highest value ever achieved for a car sold through an online-only auction platform, surpassing the previous record held by a 2017 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, which sold for $5,360,000 in 2022.

The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster, one of only nine ever produced, initially appeared at an in-person auction in 2020 but failed to sell despite an estimated price range of €4,500,000 to €5,500,000.

The vehicle was previously owned by a member of the Saudi royal family and features a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, delivering 740 HP and reaching 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 355 km/h.

Finished in matte black with lime green and black leather interior, the Veneno Roadster also boasts lime-green pinstriping. The vehicle was sold in virtually as-new condition, having only 1,778 kilometers on the odometer.

SBX Cars is also set to auction the highly-anticipated Lotus Black & Gold Collection, the world’s largest collection of historic Lotus cars and rare assets from the John Player Special Formula One era. This collection includes over 25 rare lots, featuring Grand Prix racing cars and other significant memorabilia. The auction is scheduled for September.

Additionally, SBX Cars aims to break another record with the upcoming auction of a Lamborghini Veneno Coupe, one of only three in existence.
