Reventón Lamborghini Reventón Revealed

[Alx]

Theres a guy on the Lambo forum that had bought his (#4/20) at Pebble Beach. His name is JWolf for those interested on L-Talk. He said it is an intense car with a rediculous interior. There are certainly a lucky few out there.

Why didn't they just cut to the chase and call it the Lamborghini Revolting?

I think it's an irrelevant to discuss about what's the point of the car, since the car is already sold out. Such cars are designed, developed and presented away from the public. The buyers have certainly seen it months ago and payed for it.

We all know that but i'm wondering what makes it special over LP640 if it doesn't have a diff engine? just some upgraded int with fancy screen,does that worth 600K over the LP640 price?!

^^
You're not the only one raising your eye brows about the price tag. 1 000 000 euro is a whole lot of money. That buys me a Zonda which is much more exclusive than the Murcielago(includes LP640 and Reventon). With a lot of money over for Range Rover and a C63.

^I'm raising my eyebrow not because of the price but coz the car never comes close of worthing that much! i mean why 1 million for a LP640 with upgraded int? i could simply get a veyron which is far better machine than this and will smoke it under every driving situation!

 

[LaArtist]

by the way .. is this AWD??

 

[Tarek]

^Yes.

 

[LaArtist]

^DAMN !!!
they could atleast gone RWD..and then it could justify the price on little ounce more
as the first post audi RWD Lambo..

 

[Tarek]

even if it was RWD it'll never justify even half the price tag IMO this is a joke,anyway Lambos was AWD even before Audi

 

[LaArtist]

^iknow..but AWD sports cars are gay..haha j/k ( dont kill me now audi squad)

Why didn't they just cut to the chase and call it the Lamborghini Revolting?

Couldn't agree more.

They say it was inspired by some stealth figther. Well, the form of a stealth aircraft is purely a function of, well, it's function. If it truly wanted to be inspired by one, it is that 'form follows function' ethos it should have borrowed instead of the sheet metal (or carbon fiber - tell me you at least get carbon fiber for all the money).

The car while while will visually stun you if you ever happened to see one, the design it self is trite, superficial and intellectually bankrupt. It is the automotive design equivalent of WWF. Indeed a sad day for Italian exotics - I am sure there is a Miura some where turning in it's grave.

I do love the interior though, hopefully that is the only that the next Lamborghini will retain.

I can't think of any reason that makes this car worth a Veyron's money especially when it has the same engine as the LP640,why? just why? tottally pointless crap!! same engine and performance with much much more money?!!***?!!

I think you missed the point here, its about being exclusive and limit it for very small group of people as "happy" owners, nit to mention that the same group of people cash out and veyron and cgt gemballa and rr and BBJ2 private jet etc the same way as you buy couple of beers, they LIKE this car because of being 1M€.........it reminds me on gold colored mega yacht appeared this year in St. Tropez, there was so many amazing "see villas" over there in the bay, but nobody pais attention to any other except that gold one, later I found out the owner paid extra 3 M € just for that color.........why he did it ? well...because he likes it and because he can EOS.

 

[LaArtist]

Ile take this one please.. and save some money

 

[888]

I wanna see it in other colors , white, black and skye blue asap

 

[DocM]

I think to justify a 1 million euro price tag, you should offer something more special than a murcielago with some fancy body work especially given that there are barely any changes in terms of performance. And I think that Veyron represents exactly what a million euro automobile should be able to do (leaving styling out of the equation since its a matter of personal preference)

Nonetheless, this thing looks pure evil.

Still I don't know if I should sorry or be jealous of the 20 owners of the Reventon.

Makes the LP640 look old.

What’s this? It looks like a Murcielago auditioning for the Batmobile!

It’s actually the Lamborghini Reventon, a €1m special of which only 20 will be built. Named after a particularly feisty bull that killed bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943, the Reventon features a 6.5-litre V12 producing 650bhp – just 10bhp up on the standard car with which it shares its four-wheel drive mechanicals.

Think of it as Lamborghini’s take on the Ferrari Enzo-based FXX – an extremely low-volume machine for those who find ultimate supercars a little too common. Unlike the FXX, however, the Reventon is built for the road.

So it’s a Murcielago with a bodykit, then?

Not quite. However, it is the styling that’s most notable here, the Reventon looking something like a high-speed collision between a stealth fighter jet and the Murcielago LP640.

Designed in-house by Lamborghini’s Centro Stile, the Reventon’s body is made, like the LP640, of CFC, a composite carbon material that’s both light and strong. High-tech aviation has been the main inspiration, hence the new, milled-from-aluminium filler cap and a flat green/grey paint scheme that suggests radar-evading properties – though we wouldn’t want to tempt fate.

The lights look different?

They are. New bi-xenon headlights are accompanied by seven LEDs and a further nine diodes for the indicators. Out back, heatproof LEDs are employed due to potential heat soak from a hard-worked V12. Elsewhere, the wheels are fitted with carbon fins screwed to the aluminium spokes to generate extra cooling for the ceramic brakes.

Despite the Reventon’s radical proportions, Lamborghini claims it remains entirely functional, the new bodywork helping to better cool the engine and brakes while remaining entirely usable in a world of speed bumps and kerbs.

Is the interior borrowed from the LP640?

The underlying basis of the interior remains the same, though the treatments of carbon, leather, alcantara and aluminium are strikingly new and, typically, exquisitely crafted. Again inspired by fighter jets, the instruments comprise three liquid crystal displays that are housed in a structure milled from solid aluminium and protected by a carbon fibre casing.

Unfortunately, all 20 cars will be built and sold next year to ‘friends and collectors’ of Sant’Agata, according to Lamborghini. Still, with such a premium price and exclusivity, we wouldn’t bet against a few replicas making it onto the road.
