'Only 10 have gone to the US'

What, you mean 10 as in HALF? Only 10.

Has anyone else looked at the rest of their stock, some of it seems a bit optimistically priced, like the 1998 Honda NSX for $50k!

You know....when i first saw it on Top Gear it looked fabulous , however as someone stated earlier , parked next to a nicely mown lawn it just brings the car down a notch or two.
If i were on the moon and this car was advertised then i feel thats a more comfortable scenario for this car to be seen in.
Yeh ?

That's where I've seen that shape before " Space 1999 " !!!

Awesome.

Lets all just appreciate it. Soon in most of our life times there will not be cars like this made any more.
Gawd I wish I had some money to just spank on a toy.

I do think the Reventon looks awesome, I really do and make no mistake, it does make me go WOW!

However, despite that, I look at it and see an LP640 in a fancy dress.

The pricing, regardless of how much money one has, is absolutely absurd and Lamborghini must surely be laughing their socks off.

Reventon looks a bit st only parked in a normal street? Eh? What? Its *always* looked st! Especially so to anybody who has worked in the mil aviation industry and fell over laughing at the "inspired by F22" drivel that Lambo came out with at the time.

A standard Murci is a much cleaner design. The Reventon was just a "money out of mugs" exercise.
smash What?? oh i see.. you worked in the british airforce so have ultimate knowledge of all aircraft... bottom line is thats its 'inspired' by an F22 - not based on it.. for the record i can personally see the lines loosely following the F22 dynamics..

so to clarify - if something has been inspired it does not dictate thats its a replica... an example of inspiring could be me inspired by you, i could carve a phallic shape out a lump of scensoredt!!! rofl

Not really is not much difference between others for sale in the US.

Remember 2 years ago that would of been £20k.

Personally I think Lambo missed a trick here, as a marketing exercise it may have been a success but it is way too expensive to justify in my opinion.

What they should have done is make this the next generation Muci, they would have made a lot more money and freed up cash for a halo model.

The problem is that the car is so rare it will spend most of time in a centrally heated garage. This kind of car needs to seen on the roads to inspire the next generation of Lambo buyers
