Reventon: The Baddest Lambo To Date

The latest ride to be built on Lamborghini’s Murcielago platform is known as the Reventon, and for its first performance since its unveiling at the Frankfurt Auto Show, Lamborghini wasn’t about to put it up against just any competition. They decided to challenge an A-200A fighter jet from the Italian Air Force to a 1.86-mile drag race just to prove that this new Lambo means business. The designers at Lamborghini in fact drew their inspiration from aircraft, resulting in some of the sickest bodywork to come out of the old Italian tractor maker yet: the Reventon is all matte silver finish and angular contours, giving it a very convincing aeronautical aesthetic. The stats for this car are typical supercar numbers: a 6.5L V-12 puts out 650hp and 487lbft of torque, which can rocket the car to 60 in 3.4 seconds, and tops out at around 211 mph. You know: typical. If you need to know how much one costs, you probably can’t afford it. If you can afford it but want to know where to get one, I’m sure you’ve missed your chance: Lambo will only produce 20 Reventons for public consumption, and all are spoken for.
