![Bugatti Bird-gate Followup: Driver identity revealed <b>[*UPDATE:</b> Now with actual crash video!]](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/bugatti-veyron-swim-1258147199_143x85.jpg)
VIDEO: Lamborghini shows off its Reventón
Click the image above for more high-res shots of the Lamborghini Reventón
It's fast, it's rare, and it costs one million euros to own. The Reventón may well be the Lamborghini to end all Lamborghini's, but with only 20 copies ever scheduled to see their way through the assembly process, it may be too exclusive for its own good. Either way, 650 HP and 0-60 in 3.4, and slap you in the face styling are enough to keep enthusiasts of all ages up at night. The Reventón may be 20 copies exclusive, and none of us may ever see one on public roads, but that doesn't mean it isn't all over YouTube. Hit the jump to see 1:41 of a fast cut montage all about Lamborghini's one million euro baby.

Would it be an Autobot or a Decepticon? :)

Decepticon. But seriously, 1 million euros? Does it perform THAT much better than a LP640? Or a Veyron? As one is already spending that much, why not a couple of hundred thousand more?
Admitedly, I think the lambo's styling is lightyears ahead of the Veyron, but from what I've read it the LP640 performs just as well.

As Lamborghini admitted, it is a LP640 with slightly different styling.

At this level of performance John, it's not so much about performance but what tickles your 'fancy'. Some rich guys will want this because it is cool looking and a neat dash. Others will buy it to collect. It's another way to spend their money and an easy way to generate buzz & publicity for Lamborghini and huge profit. I imagine the dash was probably quite a bit of money but throw on some new body panels on a LP640 and mark it up to over a million bucks because you can.

definitely decepticon.
im digging the front bumper - i really like its aggressive styling. the rest of the car seems too similar to other lambos, even if it is a defining characteristic of the brand.

the reventon can reach a top speed of 220 mph not nearly as fast as the bugatti but still pretty fast.

Just a regular Lambo with a different bumper. I didn't know that a bumper change can cost a million bucks.

That video is pure cheese!
I could see Scion doing that to reach out to the tuner crowd, but for Lambo?
Well, they say low culture drives out high culture.

1mil for 650hp, that thing better have carbon fiber engine. What the big deal anyway it looks like a cheesy kit for a Lambo.

Perhaps everyone is forgetting about the million dollar McLaren F1?
If they priced it for 5 million people it would still sell out it seconds. People who are buying it aren't exactly the ones to do supercar shopping for the best prices...

I think its time to take a trip to Optometrist's office.

Looks nice, but seems that Lambo is running out of ideas.

Your paying the 1 million for one word "exclusive"
That it really. To have something that is not readily available.

I am usually infatuated with Lamborghini design, but I'm going to have to cry foul on this one. It's a cacaphony of frightening angles and unnecessary creases. It completely violates Lambo's past design language of futuristic beauty following exacting function.
Makes me wonder if it was designed by Lamborghini of Argentina:

The performance and design is all well, but the car is still too heavy. Lamborghini should really focus on making this car as light as possible.

Guys, it's not 1 million dollar. It's 1 million euro w/o tax as Lambo's CEO stated at the presentation.. so 1.2 million euro = 1.680.00 dollars. :)

It's time for Lambo to stop recycling the same car over and over.
