Tanner tests the Lambo Reventon

[Gibby]

From Autofiends:

From behind the wheel the Reventon feels very similar to it’s Murcielago cousin. The 10hp difference is unperceivable but the brakes feel more capable, which is good because the looks of the car turn normal passers by into crazed zombies meandering towards you in search of brains. (Hit the jump for more…)



I spent more time braking for people that were mesmerized by the car and had wandered into my path than for hairpins. Maybe some of it is just Italian passion or something but one man stood next to the car screaming something to his friend 30 yards away while staring at the Reventon in a convulsive state like Cramer making a particularly big entrance into Seinfeld’s apartment.



This is an exceedingly exciting car to drive with 650hp thrusting all 4 wheels, knife edge steering and enough grip to make a driver want a G suit But it’s the additional emotion that the beast evokes from every angle outside of the driver’s seat that makes the Reventon one of kind. It’s a car that you don’t have to imagine too hard what it would be like to drive. Just look into its lines for a few seconds and you can just about feel it!

Oooo, Panavia Tornadoes. Could they not find a real F-22 to stand next to the Reventon?

They're all deployed or in use for training ATM.

I'd be very disappointed if my 20-million dollars worth of tax money was sitting on some tarmac in Georgia.

I think that test was done in Italy some months ago.

It was actually done quite recently... If I'm not mistaken by my informer

The US is not in the habit of loaning out Raptors.

Last I heard you had to be approved by the pentagon to get next to an F-22

That right there is made of SO much win.

Read the article with those pictures in an issue of the AutoBild Sportscars from the end of 2007, so it will be at least 8 months old.

Well pointed out!

But I was referring to the test that Tanner Foust had done, in being that he had just recently gone to drive the Reventon... not necessarily when the photos were taken that were posted in his blog.
