yours for $2.4m
interestingly they are suggesting that 4 of the cars have already changed hands at a substantial premium - but then again they would say that wouldn't they

I wonder if the Reventon wheels could be procured?

And I'm assuming they would fit a cooking Murci?

How much ?

I wonder if Eurospares have a set in! biggrin

Err yes. Its called a Murcielago which is 1/4 of the price.

The only part of it I like are the rear lights which look like those on the Countach. So rather than buy a Reventon I would get a 'normal' LP640 for a quarter mil and a mint Countach for say £80K and still have over £600K left for other cars.

I'm not so sure about taste but money certainly cant buy you brains.

I have just come back from driving down to Italy with one of the main purposes being to go to Sant'Agata for a factory tour (oh, and drive a few passes on the waydriving). When we had our tour Reventon #11 of 20 was nearing the end of the production line....looked unbelievable in the flesh.

I understand that the reason we had to have our visit on the Thursday was because it was being collected on the following day and the place was "not open for visitors"!

Still, I tend to agree with a previous poster....the same money buys you a rather nice 400GT, mint Countach, Diablo and a Murcialago! When you think of it like that.....

I saw that Reventon 2 weeks ago when it was earlier on the production line...the body was up on its trolly they were fitting the electrics.

got a fair few pics myself but thanks for the links guys you can just stare at this thing all day long. i no its overpriced but the work thats gone into shaping it is incredible. it is without a doubt a work of art.

yes you can have other cars aswell for the same money lots of them in fact but this car is for people who already have everything in their life its pocket change compared to the super yacht they just purchased. they will probably own an enzo, veyron, zonda, koenigsegg, mc12, f40, f50, a few lambos, etc, etc

so if you have more than enough money than why not after the veyron its one of the ultimate acessories for a multi millionaire.

I'm sorry, but I still think it looks like a Murci with an aftermarket body kit. Good luck to Lambo for finding enough mugs punters to stump up the asking price, but when I think of the Lambos (plural) you could buy for the same money - no contest.

surely the price reflects the r&d costs, machining, unique moulds that are being spread over onyl 20 units

I admire it rather than desire it like I do most lambos

... but Del, how many Lambos (plural) could you buy for the price of a Diablo GT (arguably 'just' a hotted-up Diablo with a body kit), which they sold to a number of people not too long ago?


As with your glorious car - passion beyond reason applies yet again, surely?





ps obviously 'that' idea about the Diablo GT is NOT argued by me, but then, I don't 'argue' about anything as irrelevant as moneytary values of the Reventón either...

But thats the point! They have found enough people to buy them! I know that the UK buyer can't wait for it to come! In fact i haven't seen him this excited about a car for ages! He has an LP640 roadster, Diablo, Gallardo spyder to go with the rest of his collection and thats the point! He is buying this car not because he can but because he wants to! And he is certainly not someone you can call a mug!

Arguably just one, if you were looking at either a Murci or a Gallardo, given that they are in the same price range now that GTs can only be bought at second hand prices.
