The most exclusive Lamborghini has been shown at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Reventón Roadster is an extremely expensive and hence extremely rare car that will only be built in numbers of less than 20. Set price is €1.1 million (or US$1.6 million or R12 million excluding charges).
Its power comes from the usual 6.5-litre V12 engine with normal aspiration. In days when super cars are supercharged or turbocharged it’s interesting to note that the Italian black bull is sticking to natural aspiration. So it makes a hectic 493kW at 8000rpm and torque of 660Nm at 6000rpm. All power is sent to the four wheels and 0 – 100km/h whizzes past in 3.4 seconds. Very impressive indeed, for a hairdresser’s car…
Interior features include two transreflective and one transmissive LCDs that show speed and other information instead of the classic analogue format we are used to. They are shaped like those of a fighter jet which was the inspirational basis for the Reventón in the first place.
Carbon fibre has been used extensively because it’s strong and light. Most of the body is made of the material as well as high-strength steel. As you can see from the pictures it’s also found on the inside alongside aluminium, alcantara and leather.
