Lamborghini Reventón: features, engine and what to know about this rare model
The Lamborghini Reventón is a limited-edition supercar introduced in 2007, based on the Murciélago LP640 and produced in a run of just twenty coupés. In this article, we'll look at the technology, trims and what you need to know about buying such a collectible car.
Reventón in brief
The Reventón was unveiled at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. Like many Lamborghinis, its name is derived from a fighting bull. The design was inspired by fighter jets — angular, aggressive, with a different front and rear to the Murciélago.
The car was produced in a run of around twenty coupés, with an open-top Reventón Roadster following later. Due to its extremely limited production, it's not a car for the masses but a true collector's item.
How it differs from the Murciélago
Technically, the Reventón is based on the Murciélago LP640: it shares the same basic structure, engine and all-wheel drive. The main differences are the body design, interior and some aerodynamic details.
As a result, the car isn't vastly different to drive, but it remains far rarer. Price is dictated not by performance but by rarity, collectability and the car's history.
Engine and gearbox
The Reventón is powered by a 6.5-litre V12 petrol engine with around 650 bhp, slightly more than the Murciélago LP640. The car has all-wheel drive.
The gearbox is a robotised e-gear with paddle shifters. When buying, pay attention to clutch wear and smooth shifting.
What to know when buying a Reventón
The Reventón is very rarely for sale, usually through specialist dealers or auctions.
If you're interested in a specific car, an independent Lamborghini specialist should inspect it: check the e-gear gearbox, engine, body parts, and interior condition, as well as whether all manufacturer-recommended work has been carried out.
