There’s no news that we fall for everything that starts with L and ends with amborghini, but looking at this new Lamborghini Reventon Roadster it’s more like an adrenaline shot directly into your veins. Meant as the most extreme car in the history of the brand, the new Reventon Roadster delivers not just a superior performance but also an amazing driving experience in an open-top Italian supercar that takes our breath away. Speaking of specs, this little monster runs on a 6.5L V-12 supercar that puts out 662 horsepower, sprints to 62mph in 3.4 seconds and tops at 205mph (about 330km/h).
Available in Reventón Grey with two-tone matte-and-glossy finished wheels, the new Lamborghini Reventon Roadster provides “an unusual visual impact, [and] also a turbine effect that further improves cooling of the mighty ceramic brake discs.” And if you were wondering how much it will sell for, how does 1.1 million Euros before taxes (asome $1.6 million at today’s rate) sound?

It is still a speculation, but nonetheless exciting — Lamborghini will unveil an ultra-exclusive Reventon Roadster but sadly this lacks a confirmation from the Italian automaker. With Ferrari unveiling the Italia 458, this could be a real fun competition to follow. It’s difficult to get concrete here as even the roadster version booked for a whopping €1.1 million by some also hangs in the balance.
Today’s unveiling though is only meant for select clients which will be surely some special ones as only 20 of these are slated to be produced. The engine and gear transmission configuration is also not known and what is being associated is that the initial intentions were to produce a LP670-4SV Roadster but the engine issues have reformed it into a Reventon Roadster.
When it comes to a brand new Lamborghini is there anything that words can summarize better than a bunch of pictures? We’ve managed to get our hands on some pictures of the new 2008 Lamborghini Reventon. I am glad I have to type these for you and not talk because my jaws are blocked. Take a look at the 640hp Demon as it fights its way into your heart. We already love it!
The Lamborghini Reventon is an astonishing piece of work. Only 20 examples are being built, each one selling for a ridiculous $1,000,000 sum. Powered by the Mucielago LP640 v12 engine, the Reventon is capable of thrusting itself from 0-60 in just 3.4 seconds, and will only stop accelerating once the speedometer shows as going 211 miles per hour.

Top Gear’s hosts Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond spend some time (1.41 min to be exact) in this clip talking about the $1.5 million Lamborghini Reventon (pics and details here). A little bit of British humor, but unfortunately, no thrills here boyz. To be produced in just 20 examples, the Murcielago LP640 based Reventon comes equipped with a 6.5-liter V12 unit delivering 650 Hp.
