Naturally enough, there are only 20 people in the entire world sufficiently nuts to believe this, and each of them has already shelled out the GNP of Sierra Leone to secure the car of their dreams, one of which now stands before me, its roofline level with my belt buckle. Might be a good idea not to crash it. Behind it, its angular arse peeking out from the garage, is something that looks like a prop from a big-budget sci-fi movie.
A geometric jumble of lines, angles and creases seemingly the colour and texture of granite, it absorbs light rather than reflecting it, creating an unearthly sense of new materials — intergalactic know-how brought to bear on terrestrial territory. Guess so. Cars should shine and glitter and fizz, but this is a battleship, a cold-war jet capable of popping undetected over to Russia and posting a smart bomb through exactly the right letterbox from 50, feet.
It feels like the effect you might get if you buffed sheet metal until it glowed, and then sealed it with matt lacquer. No paint involved. If the car truly could glide uncaptured at How much of the Cd magic is down to the microsurfacing is a moot point. The car is built not just to amaze but to deliver, to perform, to over-achieve against expectation. And what is the DNA all about, if not performance, if not brutal acceleration, cornering witnessed through the side window and impossibly late braking?
Currently, Lamborghini produces three models, which are the Aventador, Huracan and Urus. They also supply V12 powered engines for powerboat racing and their tractorcompany is still fully operational. Lamborghini also produces incredibly rare one-off cars every now and then such as the Reventon and the Veneno. Lamborghini always names their models after famous Spanish fighting bulls.
But the rich history is not the only reason Lamborghinis are so expensive. Production numbers are a huge factor in the total cost of Lamborghinis. Raritycan significantly impact the total value of any car. For example, in Lamborghini released the limited edition Reventon, of which only 21 models were ever built. This just shows how rarity and limiting production numbers can have a drastic effect on the value of the car.
More recently, in , Lamborghini created the Veneno, and only made 14 of them. If Lamborghini had built more of these, the price would have dropped significantly. Lamborghini builds between and vehicles per year. This is an incredibly low production volume compared to normal car manufacturers. By comparison, Toyota produce 10 million cars per year and Chevrolet produce 8 million cars per year. The simple factor involved here is supply and demand. While Toyota is able to produce millions of less expensive cars per year, Lamborghini produces significantly fewer cars at a higher price point.
Similarly, Ferrari also only produces around cars per year. Once again, these are extremely expensive cars with low production volumes. The rarity of the car causes a huge price hike , and it allows them to charge more for their product.
Lamborghinis may be hypercars, but they still offer a huge amount of technology and luxury. This helps to drive up the price of the car as well. Some technologies are expensive to develop and implement into the car, and the customer needs to pay extra for this. These elements do not even include the performance parts of the car, which are even more expensive.
We just might have to find some expensive suits and ask the dealer for a test drive. Besides we just wanted a reminder of how cool the 6. So how should a Silicon Valley area dealer try to move its off the used car lot?
Why not make it sound more rare. For staters the car is described as one of ten imported to the U. Also the is listed as having its power increased to hp, but all Reventons have hp.
The increase is reffering to the 20 hp boost over the Lamborghini Murcielago LP from which the Reventon is heavily based. One of twenty made, 0 to 60 in 3. There is no price tag revealed on the newest presidential limo. But it probably does help that the entire motorcade takes care of blocking all the roads for the prez.
The final bull has left the corral. The U. If you feel like you missed out, remember these car were not exactly sitting on the lots. Each ultr-exclusive supercar was sold prior to its public reveal in September The buyer, who wishes to remain nameless, seems like the kind of collector we like.
He promises to drive the car instead of letting it collect dust as a trailer queen. He also says that he may let the U. The lucky owner is from somewhere in California. He bought a Reventon with a mileage of only 73 miles. The Reventon is powered by the same 6. The car features very distinct styling both inside and outside which is inspired by aircraft and the body is made entirely of carbon fiber as well as significant portions of the interior.
The car features all LED and Xenon headlights which is a first in the automotive industry. The Gallardo LP is the latest from Lamborghini. It replaces the current Gallardo by offering a new 5. It is built from carbon fiber, and there are only 20 in the world.
The P is significant because it bridges the gap between the Jalpa and the Diablo. It was built to compete with sub-supercar types, similar to the current Gallardo. Although it was never it was put into production, the P provides a clear visual evolution that took Lamborghini into the 90s.
Due to this, the 20 inch Estremo wheels are manufactured carefully in order to support these performances. No words about the price yet! The city of Turin looked to the sky today to see the new heights achieved by Lamborghini. The conference was attended by local, international and academic VIPs including representatives from the automotive industry. The last of them, the first and only Reventon available for private sale arrived in Las Vegas. Reventon is powered by a 6. Lamborghini revealed new official images with the Reventon that was unveiled last year at the Frankfurt Auto Show.
The Reventon is powered by the classic twelve-cylinder engine with 6. Only for this car, Lamborghini guarantees, an astounding HP kW at 8, revolutions per minute rpm. The huge torque, equal to maximum Nm, ensures a powerful switch from any number of revolutions: even the slightest pressure on the accelerator is spontaneously transformed into thrust.
The robotised e. In addition, the permanent Viscous Traction four-wheel drive system ensures that every force is constantly translated into movement. Lately, it seems that tests between supercars and fighter jets are quite in fashion. After Top Gear tested the powerful Bugatti Veyron against the Eurofighter Typhoon jet, it is now time for another limited-edition supercar, Lamborghini Reventon, to test its power against the Panavia Tornado jet-fighter.
The most expensive Lamborghini ever is powered by a cc engine with a maximum output of hp at rpm and Nm of torque at rpm.

October 11, by Kirby Garlitos. The narrow taillights and the rear air vents are still framed by bold, multi-faceted sections of the rear end but the whole thing looks much more aggressive. Special heatproof LEDs - so as not to be damaged by the heat coming from the exhaust - are used for the indicator and hazard lights, as well as the stoplights and rear lights that have a triple arrow optical effect.
The interior of the Reventon is a very special place to be in. The TFT display comprised of three LCD screens offer the driver the choice of two vehicle information modes, one of which is similar to the display of an airplane.
These forces are represented by the movement of an indicator on a graduated 3D grid depending on the direction and intensity of the acceleration. The top part, where the two central air vents sit, is covered in leather as the rest of the top of the dash. The military green Alcantara used on the center of the seats is also present on the transmission tunnel and the headliner. As with other Lambos, your best bet is opening the scissor door, sit on the door sill, and look behind yourself.
There are no novelties under the skin of the Reventon. All the power of the engine is sent through a 6-speed Lamborghini-developed e-Gear semi-automatic transmission with paddle shifters to all four wheels. Each of them receives power with help from the viscous traction system.
Besides a mph top speed, the Reventon boasts with a 0 to 62 mph time of just 3. The suspension is by hydraulic shock absorbers over coaxial coil springs with dual front and rear struts, anti-roll, anti-dive and anti-squat bars at all four corners. Steering is mechanical, but assisted, of the rack-and-pinion kind. The self-ventilated disc brakes are made out of carbon fiber with six-piston calipers up front. The Reventon has a bit more power than a Zonda F, but the Pagani has a much lower curb weight of just 2, pounds compared to the 3, pounds of the Lambo.
The Zonda Roadster F was launched in and featured a removable carbon fiber roof section while the Mercedes-Benz-sourced V engine was made to develop horsepower and pound-feet of torque.
A couple of dozen of these exotics were slated for production originally although more were built on order.
