The Lamborghini Reventón is a supercar that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show.[1] It is said to be the most powerful and expensive Lamborghini to date, costing one million euros.[2] The official press release states that only 20 will be built, but it was later reported that the total number would be 100.[3] The exterior styling was inspired by the F-22 Raptor.[1] Although the exterior is all new, most of the mechanics (including the engine) are taken directly from the Murciélago LP640.[4]
Initial reports suggest that the 6.5 litre V12 may receive a power boost of approximately 15 kilowatts (20 horsepower), bringing the new ouput close to 490 kW (660 horsepower).[4][2] In spite of this, and the car's carbon fibre components, the Reventón accelerates to 100 KPH (62 MPH) in the same time as the Murciélago LP640 (3.4 seconds).[3]
