2008 Lamborghini Reventon

Rumors surrounding a million dollar hypercar modeled after fighter planes turned out to be true when Lamborghini and the Volkswagen Group revealed the Reventon on Monday evening before the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The car was previewed even earlier over the Monterey weekend at a Santa Monica Airport where potential owners saw a 1/4 scale model and a quick video. $100 000 deposits rolled in and the Reventon was sold out before most knew it even existed.

*Murcielago LP640 underpinnings
*640 BHP V12 engine that powers all four wheels
*three TFT liquid crystal displays that can replay a multitude of customizable electronic instruments
*$1370000 USD
*20 only

This is such a car-maker cliche. Most aerodynamic ideas used in cars have their history in either aeronautics or motorsport. It's nothing new at all.

Wouldn't it make more sense and be more impressive to say a car was modeled on a GT1 series Le Mans car rather than a jet, a vehicle with no relevant technology in traction/brakes, gearbox, drive-train, handling etc? Shit, fighters probably don't even have stereos.

Car looks awesome though.
