Lamborghini Reventón

The Lamborghini Reventón  is a mid-engine sports car that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.Its top speed was recorded while testing in the UAE at 221 miles per hour (355.7 km/h). The official press release stated that only 20 vehicles would be sold to the public, with one additional car (marked as 00/20) produced for the Lamborghini museum Each car is stamped with its number in the sequence of 35 between the driver's and passenger's seats.

While the exterior is new,almost all the mechanical elements, including the engine, are sourced directly from the Murciélago LP640. According to the official press release, the Reventón's exterior styling was inspired by "the fastest airplanes".

Interior

The instrument panel in the Reventón consists of three TFT liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with two different display modes. The instruments are housed in a structure milled from a solid aluminium block, protected by a carbon fiber casing. The car's instrumentation includes a "g-force-meter" which displays the magnitude and direction of the g-forces acting upon the car. The seats of the Reventón are black leather and brown Alcantara.

Exterior

The Reventón features an all-new carbon fibre exterior. All cars have the same exterior colour, described as "mid opaque grey without the usual shine."

It is the first Lamborghini to incorporate daylight running lights into the headlamps. Seven light-emitting diodes (LEDs) at each headlamp flank the bi-xenon main beam and stay lit whenever the car is in movement. Due to the high temperatures in the rear lower part of the car, special heatproof LEDs are used for the indicator and hazard lights, stoplights and rear lights with a triple arrow optical effect. The Reventon's exterior created the basis for the company's current flagship, the Aventador.

Powerplant

The engine is the same taken from the Murciélago LP640 6,496 cc (6.5 L; 396.4 cu in) V12 now upgraded to 650 PS (641 bhp; 478 kW) at 8,000 rpm and 660 N⋅m (487 lb⋅ft) at 6,000 rpm of torque. The car accelerates from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.4 seconds and a maximum speed of over 340 km/h (211 mph).

Production

The first car went to a Lamborghini dealership in Las Vegas, and was allegedly sold to Khalid Abdul Rahim of Bahrain.

On 21 November 2008, Lamborghini announced the delivery of the last Lamborghini Reventón to a British customer of the official Midlands dealer, Lamborghini Birmingham.However, CarsUK's later report disputed the official claim, and revealed that the car No.20 was delivered to Lamborghini Houston, as were two other cars.
