Lamborghini posted a video of its new hypercar, the Centenario—which has a 770 horsepower V-12 engine—before it was taken down.

However, a new photo (as seen above) of the car was leaked.

The vehicle is a tribute to the 100th birthday of founder Ferruccio Lamborghini, reported UberGizmo.

According to Autoblog, the car can get to 100 kph— or 62 mph—in just 2.8 seconds, with a top speed of 218 mph. The body and monocoque are made entirely of carbon fiber.

Twenty coupes and 20 roadsters will be produced by Lamborghini.

Here’s the full press release from Lamborghini:

The Lamborghini Centenario is the most fitting tribute to Ferruccio Lamborghini in his centenary year, an one-off limited edition of 20 coupés and 20 roadsters. The Centenario’s naturally aspirated V12 engine produces 770 hp and powers from 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, from 0-300 km/h in 23.5 seconds with a top speed of more than 350 km/h.

The futuristic and essential design includes an extending rear wing providing more downforce at high speeds, the body is built entirely in carbon fiber with a monocoque and all other body parts and trims in carbon fiber.
