The new Lamborghini Reventon revealed in Frankfurt

The Lamborghini revealed its new model "Reventon", named after the bull that killed matador Felix Guzman in 1943.

The new Lamborghini Reventon revealed in Frankfurt The much anticipated and buzzed model of Lamborghini, "Reventon", was revealed in Frankfurt by the maker Volkswagen Group. The price tag of the Lamborghini Reventon was $1.4 million, making it the most expensive supercar in the world. We say was, because only 20 units of the new Lamborghini Reventon were made and they were all gone before the car was even revealed.

The Lamborghini packs a twelve-cylinder engine which can propel the car from 0 to 100 km/hr (62mph) in just 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 340 km/hr (211 mph). The futuristic design, and inside controls and dash will make you believe you are looking at a fighter jet rather than a street-legal luxury sports car. "The Reventon is the most extreme of them all, a true automotive superlative. Our designers at the Lamborghini Style Center took the technical base of the Murcielago LP640 and compressed and intensified its DNA, its genetic code," said Lamborghini's CEO Stephan Winkelmann.

A press release described the Lamborghini Reventon:

"The Lamborghini Reventon 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. Every detail of the projects drawn up in Lamborghini's Centro Stile (Style Center) is fine-tuned in close collaboration with the Lamborghini Technical Department and Development Division. Thus, the Reventon is not only "haute couture" but it also stands out for its elevated dynamism whilst entirely suitable for every day use. The Lamborghini Reventon 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."
