Apparently, there are things in life that are more likely to happen to us before we can even get a chance at owning a Lamborghini Reventon Roadster.
At least that’s what the new promo video for Lamborghini’s new super car is saying.
While we don’t necessarily agree with their assertions – for example, they said that we would have an equal chance of owning a Reventon and climbing the peak of Mt. Everest 350 times – we can’t fault them for saying just how hard it is to be sitting behind the wheel of a newly-bought Reventon.
We have to admit that the video is a guaranteed attention-grabber, not because of the otherworldly odds the promo lays out, but because the stunning shots of the Reventon at the tail end of the ad makes us all want and yearn for the car even more.
Now that some of the big names like Mercedes and McLaren have finished revealing their beasts for Frankfurt, the exotic Italian automaker Lamborghini is preparing to put them all to shame with the Reventon Roadster! However, before you get too excited, take this into consideration: there will be only 20 examples of this kind of open air beauty on the road, and each of them will be priced at a very lofty $1,600,000. Deliveries will begin October 2009.
Like its coupe brother, the Reventon Roadster features a jet-inspired carbon fiber body complete with aggressive 18 inch wheels while under the hood Lamborghini will place a 6.5 Liter V12 that makes an astounding 670 HP and 486 lb-ft of torque coupled to the automaker’s six speed e-gear transmission. This combination of high performance pistons and electronically controlled cogs will allow the upcoming Reventon Roadster super car to go from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.4 seconds while reaching a top speed of around 205 MPH. How’s that for wind in your hair.
The race to unveil the next must-have super car at the Frankfurt Motor Show has a new entry, and by the looks of things, it just might blow away the competition.
Meet the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster.
The car originally debuted in Frankfurt two years ago but since then, very little has been heard about it. It wasn’t until rumors started surfacing again that the stealth fighter-inspired Reventon supercar was giving birth to a Roadster version that talks surrounding the car’s reappearance began to intensify. And now, all the speculations can be put to rest: the car is on its way back to Frankfurt.
Specifications of the car are still being kept under wraps but what we do now is that the car comes with a jet-inspired carbon fiber body and 18-inch wheels. In addition to that, the car is being rumoured to have a 6.5-liter V12 engine that can produce an maximum output of 650 horsepower and 660 Nm of torque, topping at speeds in excess of 340 km/h.
It’s unveiling at Frankfurt is the surest sign we have that the car is finally ready to be rolled out of the plant, although were expecting limited models considering the price for each one is rumoured to start at around $1.75 million.
There are a few internet speculators that are anticipating the exotic Italian super car builder Lamborghini will unveil their topless version of the jet fighter inspired Reventon at the upcoming auto show this September. It would make sense for the Reventon Roadster to say hello to the entire world from Frankfurt, after all it was at the same show two years ago that the very stealth like Reventon made its official debut.
Details about the upcoming open air Lamborghini are not very clear, especially when it comes to the engine that will power the new Reventon. Initial rumors said that vehicle will use the same engine as the Lamborghini LP670-4SV, but the automaker might have problems putting all that power to the ground safely in a Roadster body. So the only thing that is left is the engine from the Lamborghini LP650-4 Roadster.
Either way it won’t matter which engine they choose, because the most attractive feature of the Reventon is its exterior, and because the it will be built as an extremely limited edition model, demand for the open air Reventon will always be in the stratosphere no matter how much power it makes, but will it be ready in time for Frankfurt?
No one expected to see a roadster version of the jet fighter inspired Lamborghini Reventon supercar before the Frankfurt Motor Show this September. However a few lucky individuals will have the opportunity to see it as early as today. That is because the Italian exotic builder has decided to unveil the exclusive luxury speed machine to a select group of likely Reventon Roadster clients.

The Lamborghini Reventon is not only one of the most desired super cars in the world, but it is also the most exclusive Lamborghinis of all time. One of these jet fighter inspired raging bulls has been caught this weekend at the Norisring in Germany. We have no need to remind you, that it looks amazing!
The Reventon is powered by a 6.5 liter V12 engine that produces 650 HP and accelerates the all wheel drive speed machine from 0 to 60 MPH in only 3.4 seconds and can hit a top speed of 211.25 MPH!
The super car branch of the Volkswagen Group is also hoping to launch a new model by the end of 2009. The future Lambo’s power plant will be an advanced version of the 640 HP V12 from the Murciélago LP640, meaning more power and better performance than the factory hot rod. The new car will have a shorter wheelbase, making it more nimble; and will be wider for added stability through the turns and be constructed from lots of lightweight composite materials for efficiency. If all this is correct, this promises to be one of the best Lamborghinis ever. Ferrari’s next 450 might want to watch out.
If you thought that life would never be as sweet as when you were a child sitting under the tree on Christmas morning opening presents, we have some good news for you. If you want to recapture that feeling of of innocence and excitement all you have to do is call up your local Lamborghini dealer, and order a brand new Reventon.
Unfortunately all 20 Examples of the jet fighter inspired super car are already in the hands of collectors, but if you can find one that didn’t throw away the original packaging, you can once again enjoy the feeling of unwrapping one of the greatest presents in the world.

Although it is not quite a Lamborghini Reventon, this clone does a very good impression of one. However; for $20,000 the replica is a huge discount compared to the Million dollar asking price that some owners are looking for. The car is being developed in Central America and comes complete with three year warranty. Maybe they could have done something about the wheels. See for yourself.
When we talk about cars limited to only 20 units, when one changes its wheels photographs are posted all over the internet. So when we are talking about the $1.4 Million Lamborghini Reventon, you can imagine the stir it creates.
Now, details are scarce, but Top Speed can confirm that this Reventon had a "little problem." As seen by the flat bed tow truck, oil and bits of engine left behind the car. Only one thing is for certain, on a car that rare, the repair bill won’t be pretty.
If you happen to be from the UK and have more details about the broken down Reventon, please let Top Speed know!
