Not to mention the fuel costs!

[Ruergard]

This will be very interesting.... :revs:

Seems like the Frankfurt show will be very, very good!

That reminds me of that cheesy 70's tv show with David Hassellhoff and the black Trans Am - Knight Rider ? Is that right?

Is it invisible to radar traps?

70,000lb of thrust won't do much for the rear wall of the garage.

[cit1991]

My guess is that Lamborghini marketing had a conniption when Herr Dr. Peich decided to stick a Bugatti badge on his little engineering exercise, that became the veyron. Big brothers don't like it when the red-headed stepchild of the family gets all the attention.

My guess is that they'll stick the veyron guts inside a Lambo body, and give a British salute to Ferrari, in a way that Ferruccio never quite managed.

We don't all salute like that.;)

Wouldn't what you're suggesting be expensive? I mean Veyrons actually cost £5m each to build.

[Leadfoot]

I reckon it's a 750~800hp special. But I can't think who would buy it.

[artur777]

The main markets will be Middle East, USA and Russia.
In those areas luxury goods are very popular.

You just gotta love Lamborghinis! Maybe not the fastest etc but definitly the most insane looking!

Christ, that is beautiful!

[Bingocaller]

I wonder if it will be invicible on the polices radar gun? Now that would really cool :)

[RussianM3_dude]

What a gimmick!!!! Looks like an uglified LP640. Carrera GT would still probably be a better car. Not to mention you can get a McLaren F1 for that money. Personally, I'd get a LP640 roadster and a 430Scud and keep the change.

How would that do on pedestrian safety tests like Euro/NCAP, it looks like it can cut the legs right out from under you if you got hit by it. :hihi:

Bizarre make-over for the murcielago, wanna see larger pictures from the dashboard, looks like it doesn't have regular clocks in it.

[MR USER]

Is there LSD in the water of st. Agata? who is the genius behind such a moster.

In lamborghini they got balls to produce and sell a car like that but I guess after the Veyron broke the ice layer than now everyone is getting their share of this 1m market!

Insane! I will buy the poster! not the car!

[RussianM3_dude]

Thanks Audi for ruining Lamborghini.

[JavierNuvolari]

BWAHAHAHAHA....are you serious it's called "Reventon" ??!!! hahaha....now that's just hillarous in spanish.lol...

Aside the name, I'm lovin the stiling....really really outrageous like a lambo it's supposed to be.

Cheers all

[Phage]

are you serious it's called "Reventon" ??!!! hahaha....now that's just hillarous in spanish.lol...


As most lamborghini cars its been named after some fighting bull again this one lived in 1943 or something, they just can't get those farmer genes out there can they :hahahehe:

#edit

BTW what does it mean in spanish?

[JavierNuvolari]

Thanks Audi for ruining Lamborghini.

If you already post a coment about you not likying the car...why bother and do it again...please, don't do it anymore. Seriously, I'm asking...it really bothers to read your pesimistic comment over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over AGAIN...CUT IT OUT...PLEASE!

or....if you a going to post a pesimistic comment do it some basis...like...for instance :


Thanks Audi for ruining Lamborghini...these guys have no idea about what they are doing, and example of that is..... and so on...it would open a debate, you exchange opinions.

:cheers:

[f1esp]

BTW what does it mean in spanish?



reventón = blowout

[Phage]

reventón = blowout

Well with a design like that i'd say that is a modest name :applause:

[tazsura]

Thanks Audi for ruining Lamborghini.

Actually read what this car is about and then comment. It's not simply an off the cuff special edition. It's more akin to the FXX (not a rival, before you get all excited dude and try to compare) i.e to showcase and test future technologies ~ New compostie body, TFT interior screens, new electronics....

Taz :rs4kiss:

[LamboM]

OMG!
Lamborghini has done it agin, I love it!
This is exsacly why I love Lamborghini, thire outrages designs.
They are pushing th limint of what's possible .
they make desighns that no other company could even dream of.
My favorit parts are the insane back which looks like a monster wearing glasses.
(it make me laugh and that is what supercars are all about!)
And the wheel, they are impossibly beautiful.

But I am a little disapointed from the fact that it's still a murcielago.
It's time for brand new designs.

Could anyone give some figures on it?
How much it costs and preformance??
Or is it an LP640 in a slightly different look?

[f1esp]

PRESS RELEASE:
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 Reventon 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 Lamborghini Reventon is a symbol of extreme exclusivity, yet still offering the extraordinary performance that makes the Murcielago LP640 so unrivaled: under the completely autonomous design, the Reventon possesses the entire technical and dynamic competence of the twelve cylinder Lamborghini.

Lamborghini prides itself on being the extraordinary manufacturer of extreme super cars without compromise. Sensuality and provocation characterizes every Lamborghini, with an aggressively innovative style. "However, 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," affirms Stephan Winkelmann, chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, S.p.A.

Born in Sant'Agata Bolognese

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.

Inspired by the fastest airplanes

The present-day Lamborghini models are distinguished by the clear language of their shape. The coherent proportions of the Murcielago 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 Reventon 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 a new 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 Murcielago LP640, the exterior design of the Reventon is completely new. Just like the base model, the exterior of the second edition is made of CFC, a composite carbon fiber material, which is as stabile as it is light. The exterior components are glued and riveted to the body comprised of CFC and steel, resulting in the dimensions and proportions of the Reventon being very similar to the Murcielago.

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 a turbine like an airplane, bearing in mind the 640 hp, an abundant volume of air is necessary to cool the carbon brake discs and the six-cylinder calipers.

Characterized by coherent fuctions

Naturually, both doors on the Reventon open upwards - since the legendary Countach this has also been a symbol of the V12 Lamborghini production line. With their asymmetric configuration, the large spoilers below the doors provide an example of extreme coherence with which a Lamborghini fulfils its function: the spoiler on the driver's side is large to increase the flow of oil to the radiator. On the right side of the vehicle, the spoiler is flat because in this case, it only has to ensure the flow below the floor. The aerodynamically optimized flag below-floor structure terminates at the rear with a diffuser featuring an accentuated shape. This guarantees excellent road grip and stability even at 340 km per hour.

In spite of the extreme and innovative language of its shape, the Reventon not only maintains all the strong features of the Murcielago 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 rear spoiler (also adjustable) have been modified. Ultimately, 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 offers a glimpse of the beating heart of the twelve 6.5 liter cylinders of the super car. The glass also features the marked arrow angle that characterizes the design of the second edition from the front to the rear spoiler. The Lamborghini designers' love for detail is beautifully illustrated by the fuel tanklid: 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 LEDs. Located near a fire-spluttering volcano (the exhaust system) and above the cooling air outlet, where in spite of the excellent insulation the temperature can reach up to 120 degrees (just too much for common diodes) the rear LEDs have to be especially resistant. Therefore, special heatproof LEDs were developed for the indicator and hazard lights, stoplights, and rear lights with a triple arrow optical effect.

Wheels with surgical precision

Naturally, such a refined language of chape also demands an extraordinary color. For the 20 examples of the Reventon, the designers from Sant'Agata Bolognese - which includes one trained as an aeronautics engineer - have created a totally new hue: Grey Barra due, a mid opaque grey without the usual shine. However, thanks to the metallic particles, in the sun this color tone features surprising depth. The opaqueness of the carbon exterior creates a complementary contrast compared to the individual body elements, in the same color but with a higher degree of shine.

This play of opaque and luster is also featured on the wheel rims, especially created for the Reventon. Brilliant carbon fins are screwed onto the opaque black aluminum spokes, not only creating a visual effect but a turbine effect also ensures optimum cooling for the powerful ceramic brake discs.

TFT display similar to an airplane

The same innovative force applied to the exterior design characterizes the cockpit of the Reventon. 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 three vehicle information display modes. The instruments are housed in a structure milled from a solid aluminum block, protected by a carbon fiber casting.

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 a sphere within a circuit depending on the direction and intensity of the acceleration. A similar instrument can be found in high performance airplanes. Formula One teams also use a similar device to analyze dynamic forces.

Customizable Instruments

The speedometer on the Reventon resembles a road in which the current speed is represented in a digital fade mode. The instrument on the left associates the number of revolutions in the form of a luminous column with the display of the selected gear. Finally, every Reventon 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 tachometer are configured in the equally innovative way and transformed into luminous pilot lamps with varying colors. The G-Force-Meter naturally remains at the center of 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 Murcielago, 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 Reventon has been developed in Sant'Agata Bolognese thanks to tight teams of remarkably creative experts. An extremely refined and efficient process was employed: CAD video design and development, creation of the prototype in Centro Style workshop, all carried out under the constant supervision of the Development Division 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 "atalier" of creators, designers, and prototype constructors, who encapsulate the Lamborghini culture and the spirit by using their remarkable skills to create aesthetic innovation. Under the direction of Manfred Fitzgerald and his team grouped around the design manager, the Lamborghini Centro Stile incarnates the best Italian tradition and takes it into the future via advanced production processes.

The Centro Stile is located in a 2900 square meter building made of aluminum and glass featuring two interconnecting floors. 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 prototype 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 Reventon 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 history, Lamborghini is now able to create its own style philosophy in-house without having to rely on any external collaboration.

The Reventon prototype was created using the same quality standards as for customer cars. Moreover, the next 20 examples will be manufactured in Sant'Agata, using a production process characterized by artisan perfection and rigorous quality standards.

A design masterpiece with tested technology

The technology found in the Murcielago LP640 has not been modified. The engine in the LP640 forwards is the classic twelve-cylinder engine with 6.5 liter displacement. At 8000 revolutions per minute, the power reaches an astounding 640 hp (471 kW). The huge torque, equal to maximum 660 Nm, 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 Murcielago LP640, the Reventon accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, with a maximum speed of over 340 km/h.

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 an 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 Reventon, 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.

Ok, so it's still an LP640, same-ish weight, 20 more ponies, naff colour inside and out, "Lamborghini electrics" (wow like it's supposed to exite anyone) all your for a 200% price premium.

If you crave exclusivity, why not buy a McLaren F1 or an Enzo and have it rebodied for an extra mil??????

[RussianM3_dude]

Crud, for a mil you can be a real man and buy a REAL jet, like a used Su24 or something. Heck, early Mig29s are getting there. This is for Sheiks with a midlife crisis or Michael Jacksons (50years going on 12) or Batman.

And the rear looks like it's been in too many anal sex movies.

The whole point of exclusivity is numbers made. The Maccer and Enzo comfortably out number the 20 planned by Lambo.

And taking classic like the F1 and Enxo and then rebodying them would cost wayyyy mor than the cost of the Reventon (crap name - agreed!)

And trying to justify cost in the sector of the market is irrelevant. Take the FXX, only can use on the track and only when allowed too!

Taz :burnout:

[RussianM3_dude]

What exclusivity are you talking about???? It's just an LP640 with ZERO technical innovations. So if a LADA makes a limited edition ca. 20 9 series "Scawarama mobile edition) with plastic spinning hubcaps and go-fast stripes, they can charge 100,000USD for it??????

It's not what I was expecting. I'm a little surprise to see very little changes under the skin and as always looks are something that not everyone will appreciate, myself included in that.

I hate to admit it but on this occasion I agree with wally, it looks inside and out a bit like Knightrider. It's a poor effort from some of the best engineers and designer in Italy.

But like a few other were saying, this seems more of a fashion accessory for the super-rich then an attempt to build a better car then the LP640 was.

A bit of a let down, but i guess it won't really matter if such a car happened to drive by. It isn't as beatifull and sleek as the murcielago but its so much more extreme.

I think all the marketing people castrating the engeneers freedom of thinking should be lapidated by car enthusiasts...

I'm really fed up of reading that a certain car could be fantastic if only the marketing department did not think of positioning versus the another one... let the engeneers do their work and sales do the rest!...

The McLare F1 is the perfect example... no marketing involment and the car is an icon. so many years have gone by and my salivation increases each time I see a picture of it... that is car porn non this fancy marketing excercise!

[xotic]

WOW! Thats some pretty impressive design. Talk about making the LP640 look like a tame cow....hehe. ok thats a bit harsh, but love the design anyway ;)

Found a pic of the more classic instrument cluster for those of us who think the Knight Rider look is a bit much.
...from the press release "By simply pressing a button, the driver can switch to the second, quasi-analogical display, where the classic circular instruments"

Stupid car IMO.

What did the Ferrari FXX accomplish in terms of performance other than being very, very expensive?

I'd like to see some independent testing...

No one speaks about the FXX.

For pictures of an FXX, search for RUF Track Day that I arranged ;)

[LamboM]

huh the Fxx is fast, but it's ugly.

So I see that a lot of you don't like this Lamborghini huh?
Well the beauty is in the eye of the beholder cause I like it, I still think the standard LP640 looks much better cause it's cleaner and more dignified, But this Lamborghini is like lambos of old , pure madness, it's fantastic!
I like it.

[jonas_dg]

it's Lamborghini gone TVR sagaris :)

I'd take a "regular" LP640 over this one

[Leadfoot]

Am I the only one here who is starting to feel that with Audi having the R8 the need for Lamborghini is a harder case to justify in it's present form and range of cars.

I reckon with the press reviews that the R8 has already got Audi need to jump on this roller-coaster of praise and great publicity and carry this idea that Audi make amazingly good driver's car to the full. If that means stepping on Lamborghini's toes and hurt it's sales, then so be it, Audi has the potential to sell far more R8s than Lamborghini could ever sell of Gallardos and ever since the R8 hit the scene the normal Gallardo is all but unheard of.

I say either move Lambo more upmarket and extend it's range in to luxury super saloons or sell them altogether and let Audi develop this new direction that is clearly causing a stir among the establishment.

What are you talking about?
Leadfoot have you gone mad?
Gallardo will be unheard of? , audi no longer need lamborghini?
I'm sorry mate but you're talking about the most important company ever created.

What this company is , it's different, and unique.
And the Reventón is a perfect exsample for it.
I mean yeah it's not the most beautiful car in th world (that would be the LP640) or the most beautiful car they ever made, and it's not the fastest car ( it is very fast though) , but it's so out there , so radical , and so diffrent , you can't just hate it.
No other company can even come close to Lamborghini in terms of design.
You know what? I'd be proud to own the Reventón.
It's much more than a car, it's a statement, when you drive it , it's like you're saying to the world: "here I am, I am unique , I am different".

If anything Lamborghini should become a independent company

I mean when I look at cars such as KZ1 , carrera Gt or even the veyron,
I'm thinking they are absolutely beautiful, but when I look at the Reventón,
I am saying , that is radical , different, unique.
And that is what I love about Lamborghini so much!!!

OfftheHeZie , you're right!
