the centenario is based off the aventador. it is powered by a more powerful version of the aventador's 6.5-litre v12 engine. the engine makes at 8,500 rpm and of torque at 5,500 rpm. this is more than the aventador sv. the engine is paired with the same 7-speed "isr" automated manual gearbox as the aventador. the centenario’s power goes to all four wheels through the aventador’s all-wheel drive system.
