LAMBORGHINI REVENTON


The Lamborghini Reventón was entirely designed in Sant’Agata Bolognese, the original birthplace of the Lamborghini. The design drawn up in the Lamborghini’s Centro Stile (Style Center) with the collaboration with the Lamborghini Research and Development Department.


Lamborghini chosen the name Reventón based on one of the most famous fighting bull, owned by the Don Rodriguez family. Reventón is also known for killing the famed bullfighter, Felix Guzman in 1943.



There will only be 20 units of the Lamborghini Reventón to be built.


The Reventón is based on the Murciélago LP640 but the exterior design of the Reventón is completely new. Just like the Murciélago, the exterior is made of CFC, a composite carbon fiber material, which is stable and also light. The exterior components are glued and fixed to the body comprised of CFC and steel.


The Murciélago LP640 technology has not been modified in the Reventón where it still uses the LP640 classic twelve-cylinder engine with 6.5 litre displacement. Lamborghini guarantees 650 HP (478 kW) at 8,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) for the Reventón and at a maximum torque of 660 Nm. With the robotised e.gear, changes of the gear is faster than even the most expert driver. Every force is constantly translated into movement from the permanent Viscous Traction four-wheel drive system.


The Reventón accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, with a maximum speed over 340 km/h, the same as the original Murciélago LP640.


The interior is inspired by the next generation cockpits just like in modern airplanes where it uses Alcantara, carbon, aluminium and leather that comply with the top quality standards. The instruments comprise three TFT liquid crystal displays with innovative display modes where with the touch of a button, the driver can choose from two vehicle information display modes. The instruments are housed in a structure milled from a solid aluminium block, protected by a carbon fibre casing.


The G-Force-Meter is also installed where it displays the dynamic drive forces, longitudinal acceleration during acceleration and braking, as well as transversal acceleration around bends. These forces are represented by the movement of an indicator on a graduated 3D grid depending on the direction and intensity of the acceleration. A similar instrument can be found in the airplanes and Formula One to analyse dynamic forces.
