The Lamborghini Reventón (Spanish pronunciation: [reβenˈton]) is a mid-enginesports 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).[1] 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,[2] with one additional car (marked as 0/20) produced for the Lamborghini Museum.[3] Although early rumors indicated the total number would actually be 100,[2][4][5] each Reventón is stamped with its number in the sequence of 20 between the driver's and passenger's seats.
Despite the exterior being new,[2] almost all the mechanical elements (including the engine) are sourced directly from the Murciélago LP640.[6] According to the official press release, the Reventón exterior styling was inspired by "the fastest airplanes".[7]
