04CHASE Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) i love lambos especaillay 650 hp ones. “Uncompromising . . . a true automotive superlative.” That’s how Stephan Winkelman, president and CEO of Lamborghini describes his company’s latest product. And it needs to be: With a price of nearly $1.4 million U.S. — plus tax — it’s more than four times the price of the “ordinary” Murcielago that it’s based on. It will be exclusive, too — just 20 of these exceptional cars will be produced, and all will be sold during 2008. Everything about this car is more extreme than the Murcielago and every carbon fiber panel is new. Sharper edges; large, angled, forward-facing air intakes; deeply faired-in rear light clusters; a hood with open ventilation slots; asymmetrical body side air vents...seen side by side with the super-aggressive Reventón, the Murcielago looks almost tame. Reventón will be offered in only one, exclusive color: an opaque green-grey, also called Reventón. It’s a metallic paint with an unusual matte finish in contrast to the high shine finish common to most vehicles. The matching wheels have carbon rims screwed to aluminum spokes. The Murcielago’s 6.5-liter 12-cylinder engine has been upgraded to 650 horsepower and 487 lb-ft of torque for the Reventón, with an 8000 rpm redline. A specially contoured near flat floor provides superior aerodynamics, giving the car a 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) performance of 3.4 seconds. A robotized gearbox transmits the power to all four wheels. Inside, the fighter-jet theme is carried through. The Alcantara, carbon, aluminum and leather interior has a no-nonsense air of functional luxury, but the pièce de résistance is the LCD instrument panel, which presents drivers with two modes (selectable at the flick of a switch), either striking high-tech, multifunctional aircraft-style instruments, or more traditional (simulated) analogue dials. Both options display a “3-D” g-meter, which measures both longitudinal (accelerative) and lateral (cornering) g forces. The one thing that’s not fighter jet-inspired is the name. No, Lamborghini found an even more bloodthirsty source for their new car’s badge: Reventón was the name of a bull that famously defeated and killed top bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943. It’s an impressive package, and a characteristically flamboyant way to fulfill Lamborghini’s pledge to bring a new car to market every year.

misterp Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I like the shape, very Countach-ish. But for that money I'll take the Bugati Veyron. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KissMySilvSS Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Its looks like something that you would see in a futuristic movie, IDK if I like it. I'll stick to the Gallardo as far as looks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I like the shape, very Countach-ish. But for that money I'll take the Bugati Veyron. Mr. P. i agree , but the fact that there are only 20 makes it much more desirable as far as value collectable goes. not to mention it looks better imo. but i bet the veyron will smoke it . Its looks like something that you would see in a futuristic movie, IDK if I like it. I'll stick to the Gallardo as far as looks! yeah but the gallardo is the cheapo lambo , imo not even a real lambo( no lambo doors and a v10 not a lambo v 12) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the picture says, Lambo doors are played up to much.... if i had the money id drive a z06 over a lambo just because i like going fast. i could get a z067 for half the price and put another 20k in mods and spank any lambo. dont get me wrong they are way cool and extreme headturners. but i like performace first. but just so you know the gallardo stats at 184k and top of the line is a hair over 200. lambo doors are only played out on anything that not a lambo. i just thought this one was unique so i posted it.

CoolBlueSS Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 i dont fit in a lambo... thats the ONLY reason I havent bought one yet...that and cash... lol I looked inside of a Countach, and there's no way I would could even fit one butt cheek in it. I still think the Countach is a drop dead sexy car, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
