Wow, not only is it ugly..it spits out dirt..has a missing reverse light

BTW what's that white car on the 2nd floor..I want THAT..

^Looks like a Diablo, and actually this car looks okay. It's not that bad, maybe just the price, but I like it.

looks like a LP640 also.. It's not TOO radical.

looks like a LP640 also.. It's not TOO radical.

Heh, I meant at that white car in the 3rd pic., but it could look like a Diablo. LP640, yeah.

The Reventon looks nice in these pictures actaully. For the first time, I actually like it.

The car on the 2nd floor looks like a Z06 to me...

Holy other worldly beauty. I can just hear it now, a raspy, stomach churning, mind numbing exhaust. Oh yeah!

I love it, my favorite lambo since the Lambo Diablo GTR.

The car on the second floor has to be a Diablo of some sort, just look at the way the front of the rear wheel arch is flat.

wow, i think its a transformer, maybe optimus :D:D


ontopic: its great, how many of them will be made???

don't you ever insult optimus like that slr....Ever

Wow, it actually does look sort of cool. The front is slightly weird, but the back actually looks cool.

I think it looks neat, but why didn't they make this their next flagship supercar, like the Murcielago?

I've asked on other forums... WTF makes this, er, thing worth $1,000,000?

Wow, not only is it ugly..it spits out dirt..has a missing reverse light

BTW what's that white car on the 2nd floor..I want THAT..
the white car remebers me a saleen S7 or a diablo , but it's too blur to we can see details og it , so no idea dude.

The emblem

It's ugly but I think it would be cool to see one in real life.
I don't like it. The front looks kind of like a Veyron that eats people.

does it have fans in the back?

I doubt it. Unless you add one or two to it.

I love how the call it the revention, but it's the same damn thing

I think it would be cool if they installed heat/air extracting fans in the back that release the hot engine heat and the air underneath the car.

The Reventon has one of the most expensive body kits in the world, somewhere in the neighborhood of $500,000.

BTW what's that white car on the 2nd floor..I want THAT..

Lamborghini Diablo.

And the Reventon is UGLY!

I will admit the back looks kind of cool but the wheels are horrid and same with the front. Plus it's a Lambo, much rather take my money and buy a zillion Miatas. :)

The only think I can think the car in the window being is a Diablo, deffinelty not a Vette or Saleen like somebody said.

Edit: I KNOW WHAT THE REVENTON LOOKS LIKE!! IT'S A FREAKIN BATMOBILE!! Anybody else see it?

I think the whole concept is pretty neat. Considering that they took a bunch of Lambo designers to an airfield, and they pretty much designed this from modern day fighters (note F-22/F-35), I think they captured the design quite well.

As high priced as it may be (I'll never afford one, so I won't judge it on that), I love the way it looks.

Too many sharp edges. Sharp enough to attract a bajilion of emos.

jk.:D

BTW, I actually liked the design. Reminds of F-117A Nighthawk with its sharp, edgy and aggressive looks.

http://www.aviation-news.co.uk/media/febNewsD8.jpg

Are you serious?? As I was scrolling down I thought I was going to post a picture of a Stealth fighter.. haha

As far as the car goes we all know it's pretty ugly.

don't you ever insult optimus like that slr....Ever

Agreed. Optimus helps Monkey ship things from time to time, though.

I actually do like the shape of the car. FINALLY Lambaudi puts the shape to good use, after 239540857 trial models. I really dislike the lights. All of them. Meh.

Wow, not only is it ugly..it spits out dirt..has a missing reverse light

BTW what's that white car on the 2nd floor..I want THAT..

Pretty sure thats light reflecting from the sun off the right side indicator, and water from the exhaust..Though I'm sure you knew that..

looks amazing and aggresive ! :cool: very stealth

i dont like the car... only because theyr all sold out and id like to own one... but then another problem came out... i dont have that much money for its maintenance and evrythin.. so i hate the car...
and it farts dirt out....

I love how the call it the revention, but it's the same damn thing

It's "Reventon", not "Revention". Reventon was some famous killer bull. Europeans have a thing about killer cows.

Anywho, I like it, I think it's kind of ugly from the front, but, it's just so outlandish and since it's Lamborghini, I let that slide as "being normal" for them, finally. It's pricey and whether it's worth it, no.

400grand for a bodykit?

Nah.

It's "Reventon", not "Revention". Reventon was some famous killer bull. Europeans have a thing about killer cows.

Hahahaha.. thanks for making my morning.

$1 mill for this thing? You've gotta be kidding.. I guess Lambo "style" comes with a price. I don't see this thing producing 1000hp, running to 60 in less than 3, or hitting over 240 either, although it doesn't look like a bean. The reverse lights don't even work.

These pictures were taken by a guy on Rennteam on his trip to visit all the cool car manufacturers in Italy etc. He went to Lamborghini, Pagani, B-Engineering, and I think their was another place.

But he saw this Reventon and said he didn't like it in pictures, but that it was amazing in person.

I personally love the third picture.

This is coming from the country responsible for the Chevrolet Celebrity and Ford Probe.

Is it me or is nearly everyone missing the point of the car?

It's not to your taste - so what, there's only 20 of them.

It's too expensive - No it's not, as said before, there's only 20 of them

It's performance doesn't match the price tag - Not strictly the point of this car. But Lambo know how to make a very fast car, and this just adds to the value/quality of the Reventon. Speed is just a bonus; and it ain't slow.

You're paying for exclusivity, style and supreme quality. Buying this car would mean you have made it, big time, and you have good taste. It's a special car, and it's built to make its owner feel special.

Hats off to the most extreme production car of the Century so far.

Chris.

Chris.

It's hot, yeah, but I seriously wouldn't pay £850,000 for an LP640 with 20bhp more, a bodykit and a tweaked interior...

thats car number 0/20, that being the first Reventon made, there are 21 in total, car 0 is the press and demo car, will probably end up in the Lambo factory after its numerous shows and things around the world

Really?!

That means my Reventon is now 5% less rare than I thought it was 5 minutes ago.

Well, when I say my....

Chris.

Looks like some sort of fighter jet awaiting take off

There's a mad cow joke in there, but it's utterly horrid.


Oh crap, I didn't even notice that. I rule.

I got to say I never really liked the Reventon but, my heart beat has sped up a bit from it. It doesn't look that bad. I kind of had a change of heart.

BTW that Gallardo don't look bad either.

does it have fans in the back?
yeah it looks like it from the pics

You're not paying for exclusivity or style or supreme quality..

The Exclusivity is matched or beat by countless cars of higher quality..

The Style has been done and done again..and then drowned and shot and burried into the ground, exhumed, and then done some more...

IT's a Murcielago with extra doo-dads and a matte paint job..
It's nothing NEW or renovating

as far as supreme quality?
it's a Murcielago with suede...
WOOOOOOOOOO

buying any number of cars would mean you made it big time, yeah i suppose this could be one of them..but honestly...seeing this car next to a murcielago of the same color, i'd assume it was a tuner that the company ruined the murcielago..

And if I knew what it was and it was parked next to a R-GT look alike, i'd say "why did you spend all that money on that and not get the R-GT?"

I mean geez dude it's front end is atrocious...
Absolutely god awful ugly..
You can say it's "Radical" or "new age" but that's just a nice way of saying it doesn't f'in match and looks like crap.

as for 20 being built..I'm sorry your numbers are incorrect..100 will be built..which will put it at more units created than the Mclaren F1 road car. and WAAAAAY over the number of Dauer 962 LM....

So it's not THAT exclusive in comparison to other cars in it's "price bracket"

I'm seriously wondering why these companies think they can make a 1 million dollar car, that performs like a 600,000 dollar car and think the automotive enthusiast will appreciate it.

From a ARTISTIC point of view..sure..this car is the next step in Murcielago "wow" ishness..

but for 1 million it shouldn't be the next step in the murcielago..it should be it's own damn car.

Thank you ! finally someone that understands ..
Its exactly why how some T shirts are able to be sold for thousands

or better yet .. this car is like a Vertu phone etc etc

my god .. I love this car so much .. jee I never thought there's gonna be a car to take out the Pagani Zonda F as my fav

There's a mad cow joke in there, but it's utterly horrid.

I thought you would at least have the dignity to use "udderly" Ghalos...Shame on you! :eek:

^^^hahaha i would've ;)

as for the reventon, i think these pictures make it look better than I'd thought of it in the past press release and auto show pics, looks very cool now. I'm slowly getting used to the snaggletooth nose of it.

and as for the white car on the second floor, most people were right when they said diablo, given the taillights and the car's overall shape, I'm pretty good at spotting these things, i'd say judging from the layout it looks like a diablo vt roadster, but it's that weird black painted portion along the back that throws me off, it mostly follows the proportions of the coupe but it almost seems like it could be some custom job. still, it looks sexy.

EDIT: i looked a little harder at the white car again, it's obviously a diablo but there's some definite modification of the rear wheel well shape, it has that irregular shape of an old countach wheel well, but it's obviously a diablo. hmm and that black portion is different too, looking purely at the white i'd have to stick with my guns about it being a modified VT roadster. now that i think of it, there used to be a company that took diablos and did extensive bodywork mods on them, but for the life of me i can't remember what it was called, they would put more round features in place of the traditionally hard angled diablo style, their work looked awesome, i just wish i could remember what the company was called :(

Stunning. A near perfect design.

It looks pretty nice to me actually. I could justify paying an extra few grand for that bodywork. Maybe 15-20 grand at the outside limit factoring in the exclusivity factor. But never 100 grand. I really don't know what disgusts me more. That Lamborghini pulled a scam like this (that's what it is as far as I'm concerned), or that some people were actually desperate enough to fall for it. It think it's the people.

Unless there something extra the Reventon has that I haven't heard about...

it's just the exclusivity mainly, having only 20 examples. i mean i have no idea what the bodywork and interior adjustments cost but i'm sure it still couldn't justify the obviously inflated price. It's a publicity stunt as far as pricing is concerned, it brought attention back to them after being ridiculed of having tired designs. i guess?

All the reventon is just a restyled murcielargo and why bother basing it on a jet fighter. Whats wrong with helicopter gunships or tanks.

Just a waste of time & money in my opnion

^^^because a supercar shaped like a box with a turret wouldn't be all that inspirational.

and a supercar that drives vertically would confuse people.

lol


and drifster, i've heard both 20 and 100 as production numbers, but in the frankfurt show footage it was said there'd be 20, while the article that had that video link said 100.

aside from that, the other 5 sites i saw claimed 20. i was just curious where u got your 100 figure from?

Well Gr8..considering this doesn't look crap like a jet fighter i'd say they could have had it inspired by something else..

Lol

lol i'm sure there are a number of people who wish it WOULD sprout wings and fly away.

:raises hand: OOH! OOH! OOH! ME ME!!!!

hahaha but then the real question arises:

where does it fly to?

I will cry if that thing makes production...it reminds me of these two things...which are makes magic when put together:

http://carsmedia.ign.com/cars/image/article/679/679463/lamborghini-miura-concept-20060106021024947.jpg

the Reventon IS a production car lol, there's just not many of them and they're already all sold.

there's 100 of them, not 20 like originally stated

seeing as i've heard both figures, is there stuff about it on the Lamborghini site pertaining to the exact production? i'd trust that figure the most. Cuz if it's a hundred the buyers are getting gypped even worse haha

Just looks like a jazzed up Murci to me...

^ Uh. That is precisely what it is.

^^^I honestly couldn't tell if Jamesy was serious or not but then i realized that not everybody watches car company news like a hawk so i forgave him...i just didn't want to be captain obvious for once lol :D

I like it a lot. Looks contemporary and the front end is stunning, as so is the rear. It's just totally mad and outlandish. There's no car on the market which looks anything like it, that's what the exclusivety is for (except for the Murci, but whatever), and the performance is stunning aswell. Even though the price tag is really steep, people will buy it because it is a Lamborghini. I know I certainly would.

Here's some wallpapers: http://www.desktopmachine.com/press/230/Lamborghini_Reventón//11729/

there's 100 of them, not 20 like originally stated
Where'd you find that out? I'm curious to know, because the fact that there's only 20 reventons was supposed to be one of the big deals.

Where'd you find that out? I'm curious to know, because the fact that there's only 20 reventons was supposed to be one of the big deals.http://www.motivemag.com/pub/news/Outrageous_But_One_Million_Euros_Outrage ous.shtml

Although the official release says that only twenty will be built, we were told today that the total number will actually be 100, and that all of them have already been sold at a price of one million euros.

I Think it's cool they're bulding 100 instead of 20. That's what's gangstuh about Lamborghi: They have the balls to actually produce cars like these on a relative big scale - they're also going to put the Concept S into procuction.

I love this car. It's the ugliest car I can think of, but the styling of it gives it character - In the same way that Denise Richards looks like a fish you still would do, the Reventon might look like crap, but you want one. It's simply the most outrageous supercar ever... and it's not even from the 70's!

You're paying for exclusivity, style and supreme quality. Buying this car would mean you have made it, big time, and you have good taste. It's a special car, and it's built to make its owner feel special.

Hats off to the most extreme production car of the Century so far.I think that's exactly what's going to be going through some owner's head as he watches 911 taillights fade off in the distance as he realizes that a car worth a fraction of his just made him look like a spoiled brat and is trying to justify spending that much money. The words "status kill" also flashed in my head as a I read this. In addition, I'm pretty sure they're also making a hundred of these babies, so it's not even really that rare.

Different people look for different things in cars. I don't need a car's exclusivity or status to make me feel better about my self or to compensate for any of my shortcomings when it comes to picking up girls. The things I do like are having my kidneys squashed against the side of a racing seat in a turn and coming out of the turn to a shot of adrenaline as the car accelerates so hard I have to fight to keep my hands on the steering wheel. I also don't like pay a fortune for a car that really can only offer the things you mentioned for the extra whatever you are going to pay over the price of a regular Lamborghini. I think that's probably what other people find it expensive also, just different taste in what they want out of cars. If I was into exclusivity, I'd probably spend my money on something that has earned it's overpriced value like a vintage Porsche 917, a C6R, or another LeMans racer. But hey, different strokes, different folks, I'm sure Lamborghini wouldn't be making these if they didn't think they could milk off a few million with some body kits.

However I have no doubt we'll see on of these suckers on MTV cribs with some dude who just sold a 'mill saying nothing on the track.

I think it looks great. They probably didn’t make it their next flagship super car because there aren’t many people out there willing to pay $1,000,000 for a car.

I think it is very ugly. An F22 raptor is an aweosme fighterjet, but it is one ugly ass car.
I would take that million, buy a Carrera GT, Scuderia, and a Lambo Miura. Okay maybe thats a bit over a mil, but you get the point

Even if people dislike the exterior design (I happen to love it), the interior is something spectacular. The use of Alcantara is sublime, and the digital readouts are truly one of a kind.

Sooooooo Stupid!!!

Sooooooo Cool!!!

Sorry, but it is.

Chris.

The interior owns. Those holes in the seats should make farting a helluva lot more comfortable.

But damn, won't that front design generate 8 tons of front-end downforce? The area between the air intakes is negatively raked and it has a front lip at the bottom. The flow can't travel around the sides either because of the intakes.

No it's not, it looks absolutely nothing like a plane..nothing..Not one single bit.....

Not even inspired by..

It's just silly, it looks like some 1st year design students crappy CAD drawing..

it's rediculous..

it'd be a LITTLE better if those stupid stupid stupid stupid ducts in the front were inset further back on the bumper....but not further out than the damn nose..That's dumb!!!
100% dumb!
How can they say it's inspired by a plane when it looks like a damn retarded golf cart..

and it's Automatic..Lol!!! hahahaha, and those gauges are you f'in kidding me..

Talk about grasping for straws of aeronautical relationships..

Lol
"just in case you need to know your altitude" right? Soooo f'in retarded..

and yeah Display the engine on some jeweled stand because it's BRAND new and SOO different from anything else on the lambo lineup..

I mean the Murcielago has NOTHING this engine, it's got......Stainless headers instead of ceramic coated..Lol such losers.

Yeah Drifster, by taking the road less traveled, you're just looking stuck up. It really actually is cool, and I'd think that even if I wasn't a Lamborghini fan. Great pictures btw.

That makes NO sense....

Stuck up? Because I don't like Lamborghini's million dollar car, but I love their 270,000 dollar one?

Does that make ANY sense to you?

I really actually ISN'T cool, and the fact that it's posted next to real raptors makes the car look even LESS inspired by the airplanes...

yeah it's got "box holes in the front" that's the extent of the look alike...
They're in terrible locations, the matte finish is silly and everything else on the car just screams out "WE RAN OUT OF IDEAS!!!!!!!"

Cool my mocha black ass, that is 100% lameness incarnate.

You want cool?
This is cool

No, what you're saying makes no sense. The design of this vehicle, the performance it's capable of, there's nothing that isn't "cool" about it. It's a work of art in terms of design, the interior is gorgeous, and it can run with the best of them. You're over thinking things. Sometimes you just have to enjoy things without getting too technical. You do indeed make yourself appear stuck up, that's what I'm trying to get across to you. Perhaps the designers chose to go with a matte finish because they thought it looked attractive, and nothing more. That's where you're not thinking, and being overly negative about the intentions and results of this design. But opinions are subjective, so if you don't like this car, there's no way I'll get you to do so, and that's that. I'll leave it at that.

No, what you're saying makes no sense. The design of this vehicle
Which looks like every 9 year olds first lambo concept sketch

the performance it's capable of
A 0-60 time which is only .1 faster than the Murcielago ROADSTER
and a top speed that well.....is as fast as the standard Murcielago..
and Ford GT, which costs almost 1/10th the price?
How is that "cool??"


there's nothing that isn't "cool" about it.

I disagree, if you look in this region of the car you'll fine alot of uncoolness
http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/9655/37730328sa1.jpg


It's a work of art in terms of design,

No, the Mclaren is, the Enzo is, the Coutach is, the Zonda is...This...is not..This is a Car with a bodykit...


the interior is gorgeous,
The interior is a standard Murcielago LP640 interior...with suede, that's it......THat is IT.


and it can run with the best of them.

No, it can run with what the Murcielago LP640 can run with, nothing over that...


You're over thinking things. Sometimes you just have to enjoy things without getting too technical. You do indeed make yourself appear stuck up, that's what I'm trying to get across to you. Perhaps the designers chose to go with a matte finish because they thought it looked attractive, and nothing more.
Ok, or perhaps they went with a matte finish because they wanted it to look like a airplane, or perhaps they ran out of normal gloss paint, or perhaps they just wanted to fit in with the growing matte trend, or perhaps they wanted to draw as much attention to the car as they possibly could at a dim light filled car show. I'm not getting too technical, there's no such thing as too technical when it comes to something TECHNICAL. You have a car parked next to giant fighter planes with 2 guys in flight suits, and this thing is supposed to be INSPIRED by what's going on around it..however it sticks out like a terribly disfigured sore thumb and you say I'M too technical? If lambo didn't want the car compared to the things sitting around it it shouldn't have done a photo campaign like that....So don't tell me I'm too technical when in fact you're too blind.

That's where you're not thinking, and being overly negative about the intentions and results of this design.
Ok, the intentions and results of the design? Well it wasn't designed to improve performance over the standard lambo design, that's 1. It wasn't designed to look better than a standard lambo, that's 2..
It wasn't designed ENOUGH to look that DIFFERENT from a standard lambo, there's 3, and it's result was a car that looks like a defunct transformer.

Right.......Overly negative, or positively keen eyed?

Before I say anything, I just want to put out a thank you to carguy for posting every picture in existence of the Reventon, including those three angles of the gas cap.

The Reventon is ugly ugly ugly.. the people who like it honestly doesn't surprise me. I mean, it is rare and costs a lot of money. Surely that will get you laid, right?

I also want to point out that bosses made a good post.

^^Agree, bosse made a very valid point..

I'd like to say one more thing, something you'd probably think you'd never ever ever hear out of me..




I would honestly take a Bugatti Veyron over this car.

Ok. Case closed..

If of all people, Drift, who made his point very very clear that the Veyron is one of the ugliest pieces of crap on the road..

Would take it over this thing? That should say something.

It's all a matter of opinion.

If you don't think that a limited-edition jet fighter styled Lambourghini is not cool, then you have a right to that opinion. You can't be wrong, but you can be part of a minority. MOST people think this car is cool, that makes us the majority.

Are we gonna get the same sh*t again when the SV Murci comes out?

I think we can trust Lambourghini for knowing what they do. And if you don't appreciate their work (let's face it you're never going to own one) then why trouble yourself into complaining about it? If it is a concept that has been released then it clearly works. Lambourghini is making money and everyone's happy. Apart from the haters. But then again, nobody really cares about them...

Appreciate it for what it is. It's the most modern artistic expression of automotive design. Oh, and it's exotic too, which makes it better than anything that has appeared from the states.

Chris.

Are we gonna get the same sh*t again when the SV Murci comes out?

Well, the Murci SV will be a lot easier to defend against the naysayers since it is mechanically different -- it's supposed to be RWD instead of AWD, which should cut some weight. But we'll beat that horse 'til it's dead when that car actually hits the streets. ;)

It's all a matter of opinion.

But is it because of the exterior? and your ignoring the fact that it's 1.x million dollars and oh so obviously began life as a Murcielago and over time swapped out some body parts?
Is it the engine? because there isn't much change
Is it the interior? because there isn't ANY change
Is it the color? Because any car can get that color?

I would really like to know how people can have such vigor filled passion about a car that is such a blatant rip off. I mean people enjoy wool over their eyes? I personally find it degrading, demeaning, and...well itchy


Are we gonna get the same sh*t again when the SV Murci comes out?

No I highly doubt it, as I've mentioned before, the SV is probably the only Murci upgrade I agree with, the only part i'm not going to like is them chosing the LP640 body style over the original Murci body. But the engine mods are great, i'm just hoping they shave more than 100kg off the car considering they're losing the AWD and everything..

They managed to shave 100kg off the Gallardo, without losing the AWD so it doesn't really make sense.


I think we can trust Lambourghini for knowing what they do.

http://www.lambocars.com/archive/highres/coatl12.jpg

I wouldn't give lambo too much leeway or they put out crap like that, i trust lambo with Coutachs/Diablo's/Murcielago's in original form..but people start raving about every little thing Lambo does to their car with no negative feedback..and you get crap like that^^^



And if you don't appreciate their work (let's face it you're never going to own one) then why trouble yourself into complaining about it?
Well if you're never going to own one, why trouble yourself into praising it? 2 sides to ever coin my friend.

If it is a concept that has been released then it clearly works. Lambourghini is making money and everyone's happy. Apart from the haters. But then again, nobody really cares about them...

Of course lambo's making money, the car is 1.4 Million and is pretty much a 300,000 dollar car with a body kit....I would hope to the Lord and savior they are making money


Appreciate it for what it is. It's the most modern artistic expression of automotive design. Oh, and it's exotic too, which makes it better than anything that has appeared from the states.

It's modern artistic expression yeah. Fantastic, but so is this
http://www.spamula.net/blog/i08/fomenko2.jpg

and that is stupid. Along with all the queer eye shows, and clothing designer reality shows..All Modern Artistic Expression filled with CRAPPY idea's and crappier results.

Exotic, yeah it is. true, I personally wouldn't mind seeing a normal REAL Murcielago with those tail lights, just to give my car that ricer feel. But at the end of the day, i could take that Reventon, undue maybe 40 bolts, unclip maybe 30 body clips....and i'll have a murcielago sitting there without a bumper/skirts...

A lot of cars are rebodied versions of other cars. Most notably, the Mazda 3 is basically a rebodied Focus, and the Seat Leon is basically a rebodied Golf. This does not make them bad cars. Whether or not you agree with it, Lamborghini can obviously afford to charge $1,000,000 because all of the available cars have been snapped up like gold dust. Cars like this sell for so much because they are rare - it isn't like you will see another one on the streets.

Maybe the majority have passion for such a car because they understand its purpose, rather than demeaning it for the very fact of its existence. If you feel that way about it, fine by me - but don't try and persuade us to join you, because we sure as heck won't.

Well if you're never going to own one, why trouble yourself into praising it? 2 sides to ever coin my friend.


Erm, mainly because I signed up to (what I thought was) a sportscar appreciation forum.

Am I wrong?

Chris.

Ok a Mazda 3 is a rebodied Focus, great. Is the MAzda 3 5x the price? Is a Seat Leon, 10 times the price of a golf? No, Lamborghini can charge this much because they know people wit eat up anything this company spits out.
Because Lamborghini is loved as a whole alot more than Ferrari is.

Ferrari's got "haters", lambo doesn't have that luxury because to the masses anything with a bull on the front automatically means "oh wow tiz c4R i Rulez" But there's a very thin line between a blind basher and a blind fan.

And there are less #'s of certain model Mclarens out there, i have seen 2 of those in a 6 year span.. I haven't seen an LM yet, but that was my own fault..I couldn't wake up in time to go to the fountain hills show.

So me not seeing this, isn't an issue..If I wanted to i'm sure i could but i doubt i'll try because i can drive 10 minutes to go see a lot full of murcielago's..


Erm, mainly because I signed up to (what I thought was) a sportscar appreciation forum.

Yeah me too, not a blatant manufacturer ripoff forum

if the looks of the car where AHHH...less "exotic" and the price tag not sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo over rated , I would like this car , but it isn't it just and over rated murcielago with an ugly and fancy bodykit.The interior is nice but isn't all that that they said about...
if the price tag reflected engine , tranmission , aero and suspension it would worth , but it don't worth even a "but I just like this car" you can't like it or cthulhu will swallow your soul.
If I was the president of Lamborghini I would be feeling embarassed , we made soo much marketing , we are charging soo much for this , WTH happens with the soul of lamborghini that we had in older days?

Fans of this car, read:

It's ok to like this car, I have one as my background, but, it's NOT OK if you're jumping on the bandwagon going, "OMG THIS THING IS AWEEESSSSOOOME", when it's yet to:
Be test driven
Reviewed by owners
Tested by car magazines/shows
Sold to a single customer

The people who are arguing with you have at least some common sense to take a step back and look at it for what this thing is:

A bodykit
Different tailights from the stock model, which are smoked
Bigger wheels
Louder exhaust

...
You guys are the type of people who spend a million dollars on this thing and then get super pissed if it gets dirty. Or, you're affraid to take it out in case someone walks it in a 40grand Cobra. And it's alllll because you couldn't take a step back and look at it for what this thing is...

Rofl @ you.

Oh, and it's exotic too, which makes it better than anything that has appeared from the states.

Chris.

What does that have to do with anything?

It's exotic, but, so is the Shelby Cobra concept, GTS-R concept, and other "CONCEPT" cars.

The difference is, you're humping the leg of a car that's never seen a stretch of track or an owners rear end in its seat, while all that has been done is a bodykit, aftermarket lights and some bigger wheels.

You're a ricer.

[-X

Hang on a minute.

If you're amoung the people who "step back and look at it for what this thing is" then how comes your opinion was decided after clearly not having read anything about the car in question?

I know that deep down you understand that this car is not "just" a bodykitted, bigger-wheeled Murci. If that genuinely is what you think, you need to read about it, not just look at the pictures.

By repeating myself:

This car is an accessory, like most Supercars. However, this is one of the ultra-rare, super accessories, one of which you'll probably never see, let alone own. If you don't like it, then that's fine, but don't try to enforce your opinion into a general consensus when most people actually do like it. Nobody made you the over-ruling decision as to whether a car is good, so don't try to belittle others.

And no, I am not a ricer. Don't resort to name-calling - it shows you're very weak and out of reasonable points.

Chris.

AstonMartin gets where I'm coming from. Drifster, you're right, the Reventon makes no sense. $1 million for a rebodied Murcielago? The performance is barely improved? You're damn right, that makes little to no sense at all. But therein lies part of the appeal. Super cars don't have to make sense, that's the point. They can be whatever they want to be, and don't have to make any damn excuses. When was the last time an ultra exotic super car had to be practical on the wallet or on the mind? People buy these things and adore these things from their hearts, and that my friend is why people like myself love the Reventon. It makes no sense, but it is everything a super car should be to me. To me, there's no real reason to complain about the lack of improved performance, as the LP640 was no slouch to begin with. Right, it can't do 0-60 times in under 3 seconds, but who the hell cares?! It can do it in 3.5, I'm sure that's damn good enough for most people. And the looks, well you can complain all you want, but they're STILL subjective, and many people love how angular and modern the design is, including me. The interior, yes, it's "just covered in suede", that and carbon fiber, and both look lovely. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you try to justify this car in terms of bang for your buck, performance for your dollar, etc etc, then you'll hate it. But if you can appreciate it form a more passion, and less practical oriented basis, you can enjoy it. Stop worrying about the inflated price tag---You'll never have, or have a chance to, pay it.

A good example of a car being rebodied and sold in a similar fashion is the Callaway C16. Do you hate that?

The Mclaren F1 LM Made sense, there's only 5 of those...
The Porsche Dauer 962 makes sense, there's less than 8 of those.

and Sorry, the callawat C16 doesn't cost 58934724837289423 dollars, and is actually a damn big improvement on a standard C5 Vette which is what it's platform is.

Oh and i'm not worrying about the price, i'm worrying about the trailer full of bull humpers the things towing.

IT's not good at all, if lambo even dropped the price to 750,000 i might like it...Lol but seriously there is no way to ignore a price in the REAL world price means alot even if you can't afford it in your wildest dreams.

The fact that it's a million dollar Murcielago that doesn't come in with a BJ machine or something like that..proves what a turd this thing is

You tell me to read up on this and you try to justify it as being "new"...

It's got 10hp more than the LP640.

The brakes, engine, and suspension are the same.

The drivetrain is the same, the transmission is the same.

The body is new. Is that body worth 700 grand to you?

...And since you never read anything on this:
http://jalopnik.com/cars/frankfurt-auto-show/frankfurt-auto-show-lamborghini-reventn-298099.php

Name calling shmame calling, I pointed out everyone here who thinks this thing is actually worth that absurd price tag is a damned idiot. And anyone who think's it's something special performance-wise, is a damned idiot. The same people who love this thing blindly are the same people I hate the most, the ignorant people who accept it as something never-before-seen because it costs a ton, and has new bodypanels. But uh, C.A.R, give me some concrete reasons this is worth the price, or is "new" in some way.

The Lotus Seven, THAT was revolutionary.

The Audi Quattro, THAT was revolutionary.

The Ford Taurus, THAT was revolutionary.

The Honda Civic Si, THAT was revolutionary.

This, doesn't have any new drivetrain system, it doesn't have some incredible overall aerodynamic package, it's not some super-easy car to do every single thing a person needs a car to do, and it's not the super-easy car but fun to drive.

So give me some damned reasons that you think it's worth that price tag, and why it's "new". I'm fighting ignorance, that's why I like tossing in my two cents in these threads, because I like this car, but I know it's place. You're ignorant, you're failing miserably at making points, and so, I'll give you some stuff to prove me wrong on:

It's a bunch of a straight lines and suddenly it's striking?

Why did I say "suddenly" and not "revolutionary"? Because that design was already around, using lots of angles and few curves, in the form of Caddies "Art and Science" design mantra.

So, art, it is nothing new as you blindingly pointed out.

Performance?

Hahaha.

It's an LP640.

Interior?

Hahaha.

It's an LP640 that was taken to a men's store for a new suit for the seats and a new watch face for the dash, which, the 1980's did away with the digital rev counters, but C.A.R, you think it's suddenly "NEW ART"!...

Oh wait, the Ford Probe's from the '80's had them. And the Firebird, and every other gaudy 80's American car. So, no.

Honestly, this car is cool looking, it's fast, and it'll make a great noise. But, is it worth that price? Noooooo way in hell.

Is it "revolutionary"? No, it doesn't do anything some car has done before it. The interior's from the 1980's, the exterior is based on a proven design technique from Cadillac, and the motor and brakes aren't changed AT ALL from a lesser in-house car.

So, C.A.R, believe me when I say, you humping this car's leg, isn't based on a lack of thought. You really are just proof that "one's born every minute".

And for you, there is now a car perfect for ya'. Hahaha.

If it isn't worth the price tag, how come very single one has been snapped up?

Its pretty stereotypical to clump everyone who actually thinks - hey, the Reventons pretty cool together in a group as well. We all like it for different reasons.

I never myself said it is worth that price. I simply said that Lamborghini obviously feel it should be valued at that price, otherwise they wouldn't sell it at that price. And all 100 have been sold, so the billionaires/millionaires out there seem to think its acceptable.

Oh and, I must be a damned idiot then too. I think it is special performance wise. It might not be the quickest car in the world, but anything 200 mph plus is pretty impressive, considering back in the early 20th century, 50 mph was todays 200 mph.

Read what I said kid:
I pointed out everyone here who thinks this thing is actually worth that absurd price tag is a damned idiot. And anyone who think's it's something special performance-wise, is a damned idiot.

Did I say cool? No.

This car is an LP640, that's fine if it's special because that thing over a Murcielago is a big improvement in performance imo, but, this over an LP640? All it has performance-wise over an LP640, IS TEN MORE HORSEPOWER. THAT'S IT!

200+ isn't the holy grail anymore because when a two ton BMW can do 200+ that's saying something.

And, by your logic, if Bugatti or McLaren had charged the supposedly "break-even" prices for their cars, 4 million and 3 million respectively, you'd pay for it? The people who can afford these cars already have something faster in their garage. I guarentee it. You don't get on a list for 100 of these things without being well-known by the company.

This thing's for showing off in parking lots, nothing more. And you're paying a million bucks for it.

Like I said, "There's one born every minute..."...lolz.

No what it is is human beings.

When it comes to exclusivity, there are plenty of idiots in this world with more many than they know what to do with..

Now if someone comes along and says "we're only making 20 of these cars, but we're going to SHOW them to everyone so everyone in the world knows what it looks like" Naturally there's going to be 20 douchenozzles on this planet that will be scratching at the door to buy this junk heap. Give it 4 months and you'll see a video of some prince in Dubai driving one, then some pompus old man in italy, and naturally the ONE teenage prodigy stock broker in NY who happened to get one.



It's not even CLOSE to the quikest..
211MPH? do you even realize how many cars can do that now? that's not factoring in modded ones or tuner ones....
This car is 150% average in the performance department, no..NOTHING special about how this does what cars do.

The Mclaren F1 LM Made sense, there's only 5 of those...
The Porsche Dauer 962 makes sense, there's less than 8 of those.

and Sorry, the callawat C16 doesn't cost 58934724837289423 dollars, and is actually a damn big improvement on a standard C5 Vette which is what it's platform is.

IT's not good at all, if lambo even dropped the price to 750,000 i might like it...Lol but seriously there is no way to ignore a price in the REAL world price means alot even if you can't afford it in your wildest dreams.

The fact that it's a million dollar Murcielago that doesn't come in with a BJ machine or something like that..proves what a turd this thing is



hahah i bet you could get one as a factory installed option...

You know somethin, as much as we've kinda ganged up on LamborghiniZ and don't get me wrong i still think he's a FANBOY!!!!!!!!

He's being good about it. Not taking it to hear..Lambo you got cool points in my book.

You know, the more I look at the wheels, the more I hate the look of them. I like the way the body looks, but the wheels just look so haphazard and stupidly angular.

Also, considering what the car is, I would have thought it would have just been some kind of show car, you know, like a 'technical exercise' of sorts. Selling them, especially for that price, just doesn't make 100% sense to me anymore.
