The Lamborghini Reventón is a mid-engine sports car that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. It was the most expensive Lamborghini road car until the Lamborghini Veneno was launched, costing two million dollars (~€1.5 million, or ~£840,000). Its top speed was recorded in Dubai, 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.

Despite the exterior being new, almost all the mechanical elements (including the engine) are sourced directly from the Murciélago LP640. According to the official press release, the Reventón exterior styling was inspired by "the fastest airplanes".

The Reventón is named for a fighting bull, in line with Lamborghini tradition. The bull, raised by Don Heriberto Rodríguez, was best known for killing famed Mexican bullfighter Felix Guzmán in 1943. Reventón means "Small Explosion" or "burst" in Spanish, when used as a noun.

This is an ideal toy/model car for me. I like the detailing, but also the easy-rolling wheels and suspension. I like this model better than the more accurate, but more fragile/delicate feeling versions from the likes of Kyosho, etc.

Looks great, but the wheels seem like they were borrowed off an SUV.

Now that I went back and looked at the wheels again, the tread does look kinda beefy, doesn't it?? :rolleyes:
