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.
