Lamborghini Reventón Roadster – Now Available

1.1 million Euros (+ taxes of course)? What do you get for that? First off, you get a Lamborghini Reventón (pronounced ‘Rebenton’) Roadster that less than twenty people will own world wide.

Yes ok, that’s all good but what about the stats you say.

Well, 0 – 62 mph (o – 100 k/ph) comes up in a mere 3.4 seconds and you will fly on to a top speed of 205 mph (330 k/ph). I say ‘fly’ as that’s exactly what the Reventón looks like it’s doing even sat still. The thing has the demeanor of a stealth attack jet for goodness-sake. Not just on the exterior, but the interior also shouts out ‘I could take off if I wanted. Really!’

So what are we looking at when we lift the rear section of the car? A mighty naturally aspirated 6.5 litre V12 faces us which kicks out 661hp and 487 lb/ft of torque. How does it sound though? Well, according to Lamborghini it performs ‘a symphony that sends shudders along the spine. The deep booming bass, the powerful mid-range and the exultant horn section that, once heard, can never be forgotten’. So it sounds okay then I guess.

Of course, you’re going to need some serious stopping power in this beast and that’s where the 15 inch ceramic brakes come in. That’s 15 inch brakes on both the front and rear. None of this silly smaller rear brake business for this Lambo. The fact that it has a dry weight of only 1,690 kgs due to the (nearly) all carbon-fibre body helps too in this matter too.

If you’re thinking of the environment then put away that cheque book right now. In fact, go and burn it to stop yourself buying this monster – it’ll only get 10 mpg around town and just 16 mpg on the motorway. Nevermind though, you can drive it save in the knowledge that there’s less than 20 models of this car driving about around the world.
