Just back from visiting Lambo, Ferrari & Pagani. On our Lambo tour, we encountered a Reventon on the production line ... nice chap powered up the dash for us and showed the "aircraft dash" mode as well as a more conventional set of digitised dials.

I didn't realise they were still in production, thought all 20 or whatever had been made!

Pity cameras weren't allowed in the factory itself frown

PS. They really really should make that Miura concept car!

Andrew - I think it's more that they haven't finished building the 20 or the extra 2 for me and Cristina Guizzardi ... which they are giving us for free, bless 'em... honest they are...

I though all of them were to be sold to specially selected customers of Lamborghini, but it seems like at least half will end up being sold on for a massive profit. Im suprised Lambo have allowed this to happen; surely they will know which customers have sold theirs. It makes a bit of a mockery of the ordering process and IMO makes the cars a bit less special.

and this situation is all so different from the sales process for Enzo, 599, 430, Scudera, CGT etc etc ?

Would you let your P&J be transported on a vehicle bearing the word/name that this one does?

It was supposed to be. Same as Scuderia.

Never works though.

True, just seems a massive contradiction from the manufacturers about the customers being hand picked. I guess really any publicity and massive over's being paid can only help the rest of the manufacturers products.

Hasn't this one been discused elsewhere on this forum when we found out it was just the promotional one owned by Lamborghini itself that was used as a PR exercises for Lambo Houston. (as in they put it up for sale knowing that they didn't have one for sale)

Cheers, Loz
