This is gotta be the coolest car ever made!!!!!! If I had $1.4 mil to waste, it'd be on this car! Here's the story if the link doesn't work “Uncompromising . . . a true automotive superlative.” Thats how Stephan Winkelman, president and CEO of Lamborghini describes his companys latest product. And it needs to be: With a price of nearly $1.4 million U.S. — plus tax — its more than four times the price of the “ordinary” Murcielago that its based on. It will be exclusive, too — just 20 of these exceptional cars will be produced, and all will be sold during 2008. Everything about this car is more extreme than the Murcielago and every carbon fiber panel is new. Sharper edges; large, angled, forward-facing air intakes; deeply faired-in rear light clusters; a hood with open ventilation slots; asymmetrical body side air vents...seen side by side with the super-aggressive Reventón, the Murcielago looks almost tame. Reventón will be offered in only one, exclusive color: an opaque green-grey, also called Reventón. Its a metallic paint with an unusual matte finish in contrast to the high shine finish common to most vehicles. The matching wheels have carbon rims screwed to aluminum spokes. The Murcielagos 6.5-liter 12-cylinder engine has been upgraded to 650 horsepower and 487 lb-ft of torque for the Reventón, with an 8000 rpm redline. A specially contoured near flat floor provides superior aerodynamics, giving the car a 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) performance of 3.4 seconds. A robotized gearbox transmits the power to all four wheels. Inside, the fighter-jet theme is carried through. The Alcantara, carbon, aluminum and leather interior has a no-nonsense air of functional luxury, but the pièce de résistance is the LCD instrument panel, which presents drivers with two modes (selectable at the flick of a switch), either striking high-tech, multifunctional aircraft-style instruments, or more traditional (simulated) analogue dials. Both options display a “3-D” g-meter, which measures both longitudinal (accelerative) and lateral (cornering) g forces. The one thing thats not fighter jet-inspired is the name. No, Lamborghini found an even more bloodthirsty source for their new cars badge: Reventón was the name of a bull that famously defeated and killed top bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943. Its an impressive package, and a characteristically flamboyant way to fulfill Lamborghinis pledge to bring a new car to market every year. |

It's really sex, yeah. I'll give it that, but it looks like a lot of other Lambos with more lines cut in it.

It's ferociously quick and I think it's too fast from being tracked by a radar...  Good for the 20 special ones who bought the car to escape from the detection of paparazzi... |

All of them will end up sitting in air conditioned garages.  |

Oh man, that is nice. It looks like, in my opinion, the next batmobile for some reason.

I sincerely do hope those gauges make it into more mundane lambos.
(wtf, I just used the words mundane and lambo in the same sentence). |

Man oh man, does that interior look AMAZING! I love the steering wheel, gauges, and just about everything. I'm quite jealous right now.

 Indeed, very neat interior.   Nice rims. IMO The best part is this:   Riding this car must feel like riding in an airplane..  Ricer Companies! Start releasing Reventon bodykits for Gallardos and Murcielagos!  lullzz.That'd be a bad idea "Reventon style front bumper for 1999 Honda Civic"  This post has been edited by AntiRellik on Sep 16 2007, 12:25 AM |
