No, it doesn’t break any records in terms of performance, roadholding or lightness. Its only achievement is its price: one million euros before tax, a higher price than that of the McLaren F1 when it was launched. But whereas the British supercar justified its price tag with technical prowess that remains unequalled to this day, the Reventón is content to offer an abundance of carbon fibre. It is this material, and this material alone, that distinguishes this new car from the LP 640. And don’t imagine that it makes this Lamborghini any lighter: the carbon panels are simply bonded to the structure, which is no different from that of the Murcielago. The weight therefore remains fixed at 1665 kg. Technically, little or nothing has changed, since the 650bhp V12 is exactly the same. On the other hand, the designers were given carte blanche to modify the styling of the LP640, and the result is nothing short of spectacular, foreshadowing the future AVENTADOR!
