Lamborghini Reventón


Inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter jet, US$1.5 million Lamborghini Reventón was unveiled. If numbers mean anything to you – the new supercar is powered by a 650hp 6.5L V12 engine, accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 3.2 seconds and has a maximum speed of 211 mph. The Lamborghini design team used the technical base of their Murcielago LP640, compressed it and then amped it up. As with other current models, the Reventón is defined through its sharp edges, smooth surfaces and aerodynamic lines. Tempted as you may be, put away your check books and credit cards, all twenty models that will be manufactured are taken as the Lamborghini brand reinforces its legendary status.
