Lamborghini has released new photos of its $4.5 million car, the Veneno Roadster.

The updated vehicle is an open-roofed version of the Veneno coupe, which was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last year, according to a company press release.

Though the updated vehicle is $500,000 more than the coupe option, it will be easier to get from the automaker, if you have the money.

Lamborghini first announced it would build the car back in Aug., but hadn't released any pictures until now.

The all-wheel-drive vehicle is powered by a 750 hp 6.5-liter V12 engine, and is capable of going 0 to 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds.

Lamborghini claims the Veneno has a top speed of 221 mph.

Only nine of these vehicles will be produced during 2014, according to Lamborghini. Just four of the coupe option will be made available, with one being kept at the Lamborghini museum.

The vehicle is not a convertible, despite its open-roof. It has no roof at all, just a roll bar for "crash safety," according to the automaker.

Buyers will be able to choose their own paint colors for the vehicle as well.
