Rumors surrounding a million dollar hypercar modeled after fighter planes turned out to be true when Lamborghini and the Volkswagen Group revealed the Reventon on Monday evening before the Frankfurt Motor Show.
The car was previewed even earlier over the Monterey weekend at a Santa Monica Airport where potential owners saw a 1/4 scale model and a quick video. $100 000 deposits rolled in and the Reventon was sold out before most knew it even existed.
Now, after the official debut in Frankfurt, immediate reactions are mixed. The Reventon is the most outrageous Lamborghini and some say the styling has gone to far. But that's fine since a limited production of only 20 examples will be made.
Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Lamborghini SpA said ''It's the most powerful and expensive Lamborghini ever built.'' He's referring to the Reventon's Murcielago LP640 underpinnings which have not been upgraded, so it retains the 640 BHP V12 engine that powers all four wheels.
