    So.... I saw a Reventon yesterday

    Not much beyond that. Any members in the San Diego area should head to La Jolla and check it out, Lamborghini dealership next to Symbolic. Pardon the shotty iPhone pictures, the glare was awful and I just pulled over on the motorcycle to take some shots.

    Has anyone else seen one of these yet? At 20 worldwide, I wonder if there's any other in California... I'm not particularly wild about the car (although it was cool to see), and was massively bummed to learn the performance specs are the same as a stock LP-640. Regardless, enjoy.

    Silicon Valley Auto Group has one for sale. They had it at Concorso Italiano. there were much more interesting lambos there, so i wasn't too bothered to look at it extensively. they had it parked next to an LM002, so it wasnt even the weirdest looking vehicle there.

    21 cars to be precise, the last one belonging to the Lamborghini museum.
    I wasn't very impressed as well when I saw it this summer.
    There were 8 cars up for sale at the same time on jameslist, and 8 even right one, even if one is a roadster.

    Meh.

    Nice, do you think it has radar obsorbing composites like the F22 fighter it was based on? It needs something to justify its ridiculous price tag with normal specs. Suppose its the exclusitivity.

    Reventon is one of my favorite and great car that I have seen. Even you just look at photos you will know that it is an excellent car.

    This car isn't about performance, it's purely for the looks and exclusivity, and it is undoubtedly a piece of automotive art. This is a car that you would keep in your garage, and only drive it once a year just for servicing.

    If you want a Murcielago variant for performance, get the LP670-4 SV.

    I think look-wise is still disappointing, the rear end seems to be just a gimmick, and made of cartoon.
    Not even talking about the interior, the unchanged weight, the silly 10 bhp bump or the absurd price tag. I've already wrote a long post on my blog on it, if you're interested.

    The Reventon is the car the Murcielago should've been in the first place.
