New $1M dollar Lamborghini Reventon (pics)

Tobias · September 11th, 2007, 01:25 AM

As discussed here, the car has been revealed and looks to only share the doors and wing mirrors with the LP640. Every other panel is new and the engine boasts 20 BHP over the LP640. Production is said to be 20 cars, but rumors for more are circulating. You guys think it's worth Veyron money? :-\

Wow. Just, wow. It's epically beautiful.

No, it's not worth the same as a Veyron but it's sure worth more than an LP640.

MPowered · September 11th, 2007, 01:28 AM

I'd rather have the Veyron. The design is a little messy and I don't like that wannabe Microsoft Flight Simulator gauge cluster.

Ilpav · September 11th, 2007, 01:36 AM

That's just a futuristic Murcielago. It's ugly and no where near as good as the Veyron. I would take the Veyron even if it is $0.5 million more. No one would buy this.

Labcoatguy · September 11th, 2007, 01:42 AM

It looks like a civilian Batmobile. Not my can of Red Bull, but somebody out there will buy it.

The_Finn · September 11th, 2007, 01:43 AM

god that is hot. I love the stealth fighter styling

My thoughts exactly. Actually I think I'd rather just have the LP640.

Tobias · September 11th, 2007, 01:56 AM

Yeah. The price of admission is somewhere in the clouds.

Forking over an extra $700,000 gets you about 20 extra horsepower, loads of carbon-fiber trim and some questionable bodywork. So yeah, it's not much of a deal, but with only 20 slated for construction in 2008, the exclusivity of the Reventon is the real draw. "It's the most powerful and expensive Lamborghini ever built," said Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Lamborghini SpA at the reveal here in Frankfurt. Apparently a phrase like that is enough, as all 20 Reventons have already been sold.

X2, I´d prefer a LP640 over this any day.

After those stats...

...this really is a better buy...

Blind_Io · September 11th, 2007, 02:07 AM

I love it. It's the first totally insane Lamborghini since Audi took over. Lambos have always been for people who are axe murderers when they aren't working. They are crazy-ass antisocials who eat baby seals garnished with small children. I love the outlandish design and the angular look. It's perfect for what Lambos should be.

epp_b · September 11th, 2007, 02:13 AM

Whoops...they forgot to give the designer anything other than a pencil and a ruler images/smilies/tongue.gif

And you can still tell that it's based on the Murcielago. It needs to be a lot more different.

SoxXpupPeT · September 11th, 2007, 02:19 AM

you know what that car says.. it says "F YOU!" to people. it looks so mean and badass. like a kid went crazy with a crayon. and i love those rims. i think it looks fantastic!

I think Blind_io might be right though

pfrocker · September 11th, 2007, 02:27 AM

that thing is scary...in a good way. No way worth the extra price, but good to see Lambo going crazy.

My thoughts exactly. This is what the normal Murcielago should have looked like.

wake me when they design a new car.

Well...looks like you were right.

Damn. I was hoping they would have done something that ACTUALLY looked like a jet fighter, and not a Murc with not enough cowbell.

This could be the first Lamborghini I'm actually not excited about! Hell, I even liked the Jalpa!

Gauges are cool, but that's not worth $1 million. Man, the price people will pay for exclusivity.

Austere · September 11th, 2007, 03:25 AM

^What can I say. I feel vindicated.

Yet strangely disappointed.
