Lamborghini Reventon : 2008

Lamborghini revealed its new Reventon supercar at the Frankfurt auto show. Based on the Murcielago sports car, the Reventon is said to be inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter jet.

Recent reports indicate the car will cost nearly $1.6 million, significantly above the Murcielago $300,000 MSRP. In fact, anyone who wants the car has been asked to put down a deposit of nearly that amount.

The Reventon delivers 650 horsepower and 487 pound feet of torque. Lamborghini will only build 20 Reventons, and rumor has it all units have been spoken for.

Speculation about the super Lambo first surfaced on the Ferrari Chat online discussion forums after future owners reported putting deposits on the cars. (source: left lane news).

Lamborghini Reventon logo. Why Revention? Lamborghini has a long tradition of naming its cars after fighting bulls of courage and legend, including the Miura the Murcielago and the Gallardo. The company's symbol is, after all, a raging bull on a black background. Reventon was a Mexiacn beast, included in lists of the greatest bulls ever to enter the ring. in 1943, Reventon took on famous Mexican bullfighter Felix Guzman. Reventon gored the matador twice, but Guzman's last ramaining strenght claimed the bull's life. It was a short lived victory. Guzman lost enormeous amounts of blood and died ion the hospital a short while after. Unfortunately, there is no bull with the Raptor name, that which is given to the Lockheed Martin F-22 jet fighter that inspired the Reventon. As for the Reventon's internal, informal code name? BOA... Baddest Of All. BTW... Revention means "blowout" or "Flat tire" in Spanish. (source: Autoweek).

I must clarify that I was born in Mexico and as such blood runs in my veins I can tell that Reventón not only means blowout or flat tire, quite uninspiring translation! Reventón as it comes from Mexico really means "To Party! Really loud!" or as a very loud and startling sound. So when you go to Mexico and want to party hard just tell your Mexican friends for true... "Vamonos de Reventón!"

Cheers!!
