Lamborghini Reventon

This is the even more exclusive Lamborghini Murcielago. Built on the basis of the Murcielago LP 640, this Lamborghini's design is new: it is inspired by the aeronautics. The exterior is made of CFC, like the Murcielago LP 640, which is a composite carbon fibre material and is extreme light.

The cockpit is made of Alcantara, carbon, alumium and leather and is inspired by the jet airplanes:
the instruments comprise three TFT liquid crystal displays with innovative display modes. At 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 completely new: this display shows 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.

But unfortunately this Lamborghini cos
ts 1,000,000 Euros and is limited to 20 examples. It has 650 hp,10 hp more than the Murcielago LP 640.
Top speed and acceleration are the same as he ones of the LP 640.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640

The Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 features a 6.5-litre V12 engine which is still assembled by hand! The engine develops 640 hp (471 kW) at 8000 rpm and a torque of 660 N*m. The LP in the name means "Longitudinale Posteriore": the engine is mounted longitudially.

The Murcielago can go from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3.4 secs.
The official topspeed is 340 km/h although the confirmed is 350 km/h!
Up to three Murcielagos can be built a day, but you have to wait one year before you'll have it delivered.
The Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 was the basis of the Lamborghini Reventon, the even more exclusive supercar by Lamborghini...
