Lamborghini's new Reventon is inspired by the "fastest" airplanes with its sharp edges, precise lines and clean surfaces. Its 650 horsepower V12 engine is no slouch either. Too bad the car costs $1.4 million and only 20 are going to be made.
The Reventon is powered by a 6.5L V12 engine that puts out 650 horsepower and 487 lb-ft of torque. It reaches 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds and has a maximum speed of 211 mph.

PRESS RELEASE:
Lamborghini Reventón
The most extreme
The essence of the marque: just 20 examples of a design masterpiece
Clearly a Lamborghini, but nothing quite like it. A super car without equals: the Lamborghini Reventón is a road vehicle with an extreme specification and, at the same time, a limited edition masterpiece – a coherent style, angular with sharp lines, inspired by the very latest aeronautics.
With just 20 produced, each $1.4 million (without taxes) Lamborghini Reventón is a symbol of extreme exclusivity, yet still offering the extraordinary performance that makes the Reventón so unrivalled: under the completely autonomous design, the Reventón possesses the entire technical and dynamic competence of the 12-cylinder Lamborghini.
Lamborghini prides itself on being the extraordinary manufacturer of extreme super sports cars without compromise. Sensuality and provocation characterize every Lamborghini, with an aggressively innovative style. “However, the Reventón is the most extreme of all, a true automotive superlative. Our designers at the Lamborghini Style Center took the technical base of the Murciélago LP640 and compressed and intensified its DNA, its genetic code,” affirms Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.
Born in Sant’Agata Bolognese
The Lamborghini Reventón has been entirely designed in Sant’Agata Bolognese, the original birthplace of the Lamborghini and the native home of every super car born under the sign of the bull. The design drawn up in Lamborghini’s Centro Stile (Style Center) is fine-tuned in close collaboration with the Lamborghini Research and Development Department. Thus, the Reventón is not only “haute couture” but it also stands out for its elevated dynamism while being entirely suitable for every day use.
The Lamborghini Reventón is not destined to remain a one-off. A total of 20 Lamborghini friends and collectors will be able to own this extraordinary car and, naturally, enjoy the incomparable pleasure of driving it.
The name Reventón has been chosen according to Lamborghini tradition. Reventón was a fighting bull, owned by the Don Rodriguez family. It is included in the list of the most famous bulls ever and is known for killing the famed bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943.
Inspired by the fastest airplanes
The present day Lamborghini models are distinguished by the clear language of their shape. The coherent proportions of the Murciélago and Gallardo highlight their power and dynamism. Sharp edges, precise lines and clean surfaces: these are ingredients of a style reduced to the essential. Each element is created exactly according to its function; ornaments and decorations are totally foreign to a Lamborghini.
With the Reventón, the Centro Stile designers have coherently developed this philosophy, inspired by another sphere where speed and dynamism reign absolute: modern aeronautics, responsible for the fastest and most agile airplanes in the world. This has created an extremely precise, technically striking style with a new vitality: interrupted lines and contorted surfaces create a fascinating play of light, giving the car incredible movement.
Made of carbon fiber and precision
Although it is based on the extraordinarily successful Murciélago LP640, the exterior design of the Reventón is completely new. Just like the base model, the exterior is made of CFC, a composite carbon fiber material, which is as stable as it is light. The exterior components are glued and fixed to the body comprised of CFC and steel.
The front is characterized by the acute angle of the central ‘arrow’ and by the powerful forward-facing air intakes. Although they do not supply air directly to the turbine like an airplane, bearing in mind the 650 hp, an abundant volume of air is necessary to cool the carbon brake disks and the six-cylinder calipers.
Characterized by coherent functions
Naturally, both doors on the Reventón open upwards – since the legendary Countach this has also been a symbol of the V12 Lamborghini product line. With their asymmetric configuration, the large air intakes below the doors provide an example of the extreme coherence with which a Lamborghini fulfils its function: on the driver’s side it is large to increase the flow of oil to the radiator. On the passenger’s side of the vehicle, the air intake is flat because in this case, it only has to ensure the flow below the floor. The aerodynamically optimized flat floor structure terminates at the rear with a diffuser featuring an accentuated shape. This guarantees excellent road grip and stability even at 211 mph.
In spite of the extreme and innovative language of its shape, the Reventón not only maintains all the strong features of the Murciélago LP640, but also offers further amelioration in terms of aerodynamics, the important engine cooling system, the air intake system and brakes. The airflow and the section of the variable geometry air intakes of the engine and the rear spoiler (also adjustable) have been modified.
Owners of the 20 examples will be able to test the performance of his or her Lamborghini in person.
Perfected to the ultimate detail
The engine hood made of glass laminate with open ventilation slits offering a glimpse of the beating heart of the 12 cylinders of the super car. The glass also features the marked arrow angle that characterizes the design from the front to the rear spoiler. The Lamborghini designers’ love for detail is beautifully illustrated by the fuel tank lid: a small mechanical work of art, achieved by milling a solid aluminum block.
The combination of lights transform the incisiveness of the design into light: the front features the most modern light-emitting diodes alongside Bi-Xenon headlights. Seven LEDs ensure continuous daylight while there are a further nine diodes for the indicator and hazard lights. Another technical innovation is found in the rear light LEDs. Because of the high temperature in the lower rear of the car, special heatproof LEDs are used for the indicator and hazard lights, stoplights and rear lights with a triple arrow optical effect.
A new body color
Naturally, such a refined language of shape also demands an extraordinary color. For the 20 examples of the Reventón, the designers from Sant’Agata Bolognese have created a totally new hue: Reventón, a mid opaque green/grey without the usual shine. However, thanks to the metallic particles, in the daylight this color tone features surprising depth.
Opaque and brilliant colors for the wheel rims
This play of opaque and luster is also featured on the wheel rims, especially created for the Reventón. Opaque carbon fins are screwed onto the black aluminum spokes, not only creating a visual effect with the precision of a surgeon’s scalpel, but a turbine effect also ensures optimum cooling for the powerful ceramic brake disks.
TFT display similar to an airplane
The same innovative force applied to the exterior design characterizes the cockpit of the Reventón. Designed and created using Alcantara, carbon, aluminum and leather that comply with the top quality standards, the interior is inspired by the next generation cockpits: just like in modern airplanes, the instruments comprise three TFT liquid crystal displays with innovative display modes. At the touch of a button, the driver can choose from two vehicle information display modes. The instruments are housed in a structure milled from a solid aluminum block, protected by a carbon fiber casing.
The G-Force-Meter is also completely new: this display shows the dynamic drive forces, longitudinal acceleration during acceleration and braking, as well as transversal acceleration around bends. These forces are represented by the movement of an indicator on a graduated 3D grid depending on the direction and intensity of the acceleration. A similar instrument can be found in airplanes. Formula One teams also use a similar device to analyze dynamic forces.
Customizable instruments
The instrument on the left of the speedometer associates the number of revolutions in the form of a luminous column with the display of the selected gear. Finally, every Reventón is equipped with a robotized e.gear controlled by two small levers under the steering wheel.
By simply pressing a button, the driver can switch to the second, quasi-analogical display, where the classic circular instruments, speedometer and engine speed indicator are configured in an equally innovative way and transformed into luminous pilot lamps with varying colors. The G-Force-Meter naturally remains at the center in this display mode.
Electronic system developed entirely by Lamborghini
All this is possible thanks to the fact that the entire electronic platform of the Reventón, together with all the control devices, has been autonomously developed by the Lamborghini experts.
The same process for integrating the electronic displays in the car was applied to the Lamborghini Engineering Department.
From the conception of the very first radical ideas, the entire Reventón has been developed in Sant’Agata Bolognese thanks to tight teams of remarkably creative experts. An extremely refined and efficient process was employed: CAD design and development, creation of the prototype in the Prototype Department, all carried out under the constant supervision of the Research and Development Department’s technicians and testers.
Atelier of creativity and high efficiency
Inaugurated in 2004, the Centro Stile is dedicated to design and characterized by a high degree of efficiency: an “atelier” of creators, designers and prototype constructors, who encapsulate the Lamborghini culture and spirit by using their remarkable skills to create aesthetic innovation.
The Centro Stile is located in a 2,900 square two-story building. The large pavilion houses two test floors and related production and analysis equipment, while other rooms are set aside for the most advanced computerized workstations for designers and a style-model construction workshop. The Centro Stile is also closely linked to the nearby Engineering Department: the direct line between the Lamborghini development departments guarantees that ideas rapidly become reality.
Creativity and production under the same roof
The Lamborghini Reventón is a practical illustration of the streamlined functionality and efficiency characterizing the Centro Stile: it took less than a year to progress from the first ideas to the finished car. The complete design process from the first sketches on paper, to three dimensional computer models with 1:10 or 1:4 scale, right up to the real size prototype is organized around streamlined, fast, efficient work groups. Thanks to the Centro Stile, for the first time in its history, Lamborghini is now able to create its own style philosophy in-house without having to rely on any external collaboration.
The 20 units will be manufactured in Sant’Agata, using a production process characterized by artisan perfection and rigorous quality standards.
A masterpiece with tested technology
The technology found in the Murciélago LP640 has not been modified. The engine in the LP640 forwards is the classic twelve-cylinder engine with 6.5 liter displacement. Only for this car, Lamborghini guarantees, an astounding 650 HP at 8,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The huge torque, equal to maximum 487 lb-ft, ensures a powerful switch from any number of revolutions: even the slightest pressure on the accelerator is spontaneously transformed into thrust. The robotized e.gear changes gear faster than even the most expert driver. In addition, the permanent Viscous Traction four-wheel drive system ensures that every force is constantly translated into movement.
As in the original Murciélago LP640, the Reventón accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds, with a maximum speed of more than 211 mph.
Born to become a legend
Since its foundation, Lamborghini has been a creator of trends in the world of sports cars and has always manufactured cars with absolutely unmistakable character. Models such as the Miura or Countach, for example, were veritable forerunners and rapidly acquired the status of timeless classic cars. From the moment they are launched, every new Lamborghini promises to become a legend, destined to become a sought-after and precious possession.
With the Lamborghini Reventón, Lamborghini has done it again; it has created an unequalled super car; the perfect synthesis between the exclusivity and appeal of a limited edition design masterpiece, and the dynamism and drivability of a standard sports car. Thus, the Lamborghini legend is further enhanced by another, stylish future classic.

While I agree that it isn't a record-breaking car, and I doubt we'll see a challenger to the Veyron for a while, it is still very special nonetheless. I can guarantee you this "sex on wheels" will turn heads everywhere and always, assuming the owner even takes it out of his/her museum. The styling is very unique. If the next Transformers movie were to bring in Sideswipe (the red Countach from the cartoons) this car would be very fitting...haha.

For a Lambo that is $1.4 mill I thought they would have came up with a different design besides the wedge shape and stuffing more useless junk into the interior to add weight. This really shows that they have no other design for their future vehicles. I rather spend the $1.4mill on the Bugatti 16.4. Now that is worth the $1.4 mill.

I agree, 1.4 million is too much. I love how it is called 'The Most Extreme' when it is not. A Veyron would be a much better choice and is much more extreme, not the most however. The Veyron is no longer top dog. For 1.4, I will take two Ultimate Aeros. German fanboys may want to avert their eyes to the following:
It costs more then half as much as a Veyron at $600,000, has been wind tested to be aerodynamically stable up to 273 mph and land speed record of 256 mph average (they ran out of road), weighs 2750 lbs vs the pig 4160 lbs, 1183 hp vs 987, 9.9 quarter mile vs 10.2, and get ready for the best parts to all the haters: It is a 6 speed manual 6.3L twin turbo V8 with no electronic controls RWD American vs a 7 speed DSG 8L quad turbo V16 with electronic this and that AWD German. So much for hp per liter, American V8s being crap, turbo this and turbo that, German's owning Americans, and needing 'advanced' transmissions. Oh, and it gets better gas mileage too. About the only thing the Veyron wins is braking, thanks in part to its air brake, and 0-60 2.46 vs 2.78 thanks to electronic crap and AWD. Pulls a bit more on the skid pad too. Has a nicer interior as well, but I think I'll go buy a Rolls, Bentley, or Maybach with the money I saved.

@ Abdul
What the heck is a 'free sun charger'? If they're free, can I get a couple of them to power my house for free?
Electricity is not free, solar power is very, very expensive. Photo voltaic cells are 4-5 times as expensive as coal and (at least in my state) 12 times the cost of nuclear.
That being said, I'm all for electric cars. Even using coal to generate the electricity is far cleaner than internal combustion engines. If a company makes a decent one with inexpensive batteries (A123's are not cheap... at all ) I'll buy one.
If Lamborghini decided to go electric they'd go out of business. The exotic 1.4 million dollar electric car market doesn't exist right now. If memory serves, the've sold 2-300 teslas. It's cool and hip, but no one want's to pay for it.

I happen to think that the Veyron is hideous, but I don't get into looks on here because looks are subjective. Veyron prides itself on being the best, well it's not any more. Also, it's 253 mph runs were never official. If you want to be technical, the Aero topped out at 257 mph, with room to go faster.
Also, your right Chang Kong, how silly of me to compare a 1.4 million dollar car to a $600,000 dollar car. The sad part is, the $600,000 dollar car is faster. If I wanted sex on wheels, I would buy an Aston Martin, not an overpriced Lambo. If I wanted go go, Ultimate Aero. If I want a plush ride, Maybach, Rolls, or Bentley.
As for super cars, nothing puts a smile on my face like raw, unyielding power. Your 'super cars' have things like plush interiors that weigh them down, AWD, and electronic crap to stop the car from having fun. Not super cars in my eyes, just fast cars that aren't the fastest, aren't the most luxurious. They try to be two things at once, and those things are opposite ends of the spectrum. Plush kills speed. Speed takes up room that plush needs. And while you may wish for both, with your 'super cars' will never be the fastest or the most luxurious because of this. Aston Martin is a prime example of this, they don't care that they aren't the fastest, because they are more luxurious. The ZR1 is fast, but not a pleasant ride and GM makes no mistakes about it.

One of the major US auto magazines tested this car some time ago. There is nothing extra on this Lambo other than visual gimmicks. It has the same engine, base body panels, and features. Just lots of little, non-important visual details, but nothing that makes the car cost hundreds of thousands more.
I can't even afford the considerably cheaper model it is based on anyway. But if I had so much money to spend on something like this, I'd prefer to get something that had more substance than just decorations, such as a McLaren.

Why does Lamborghini only make cars that look like something out of a transformers movie? Yes, it has incredible performance, but good god, it's butt ugly! It looks like one of those weird, futuristic concepts that you hope never make it to the sales floor. The interior looks about as up-to-date and sophisticated as the Countach did back in the 80s. Also, what's with the dash display? It reminds me of the KITT Trans Am. That was tacky looking back in 1984. I honestly don't know how Lamborghini competes with Ferrari. Ferrari's are elegant, sexy, beautiful. They are cars that still look great 10, 15, 20 years later. Lambo's look outdated and cheesy as soon as they leave the factory. Don't get me wrong, performance-wise they are amazing cars, it's just why would they waste all that performance on such ugly designs?

To everyone else complaining that it's not worth what it costs, you're wrong. The free market has spoken, and all examples of the Reventon are spoken for. Cleary the average poster on TR is not in the target market.

Well it is a joke! I could have pimped out 10 civic SIs for that much money. Even stock my civic was owning all the lambos and ferraris on the track. After people hear my VTEC spinning up, they run for they know they will be owned.
