Lamborghini Reventón (2009)

Overview:

The Lamborghini Reventón is a mid-engined sports car that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. It ranks as the most powerful and expensive Lamborghini road car to date, costing one million euros.The official press release stated that only 20 vehicles would be released to the public, with a single car produced for the Lamborghini Museum. Although early rumours indicated the total number would actually be 100,each Reventón is clearly stamped with its number in the sequence of 20 between the drivers and passengers seats. Although the exterior is all new, almost all the mechanical elements (including the engine) are taken directly from the Murciélago LP640. According to the official press release, the exterior styling was inspired by "the fastest airplanes". To emphasize this, Lamborghini staged a race between a Reventón and a Panavia Tornado fighter plane.
