Pics Aplenty: Lamborghini Reventon breaks out of Sant'Agata
Click above to view the Lamborghini Reventon in hi-res
When it comes to pure visual impact, there's not a thing on the road that has got anything on the Lamborghini Reventon. It's just so impossibly, relentlessly badass. It's got more sharp lines than a bag full of broken glass and more angles than a geometry set, yet manages to pull them all together in a package that makes Death itself run for cover. And with more than 640 demon horses on tap, it had better run fast.
In tribute to the ultimate Lamborghini's angrier-than-a-coked-up-teenager design, we're bringing you this gallery of images which recently escaped from lock-down at the Lamborghini factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese on the outskirts of

I wonder if I would be able to tell the difference if I see one driving down the road...
Do love the gauges though, remind me of a Alante, in a good way

Autoblog needs to actually save different low-res and hi-res versions of the pictures - the jaggies on the low-res pictures are terrible.

Certain phrases come to this lambo-lovers mind:
"beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
"who cares what it looks like as long as its fast"
etc etc
but come on, if that was a Hyundai, would you be so complimentary????

It's not everyone. I personally don't like it. I just see a Murcielago

If it was a Hyundai my head would explode, unable to comprehend how Hyundai could come up with something so awesome. I love it, just wish the drivetrain had something more over the LP640.

Needs two things.
transparent roof panel between the windsheild and transparent engine cover.
HUD. No fighter jet should leave home without one... all the computing power in the dashboard processor, it should be able to handle a projected HUD on the windshield.
Aside from the fact that there is only a few of them, I am not sure what makes it so much more expensive than the newest Murcielago variant. Style is different but the substance isn't that much more. (not saying that it isn't more than most people would ever see in person...) Just relative to the other Lambo.

Agreed, even just the tach & speed on the windshield would be that little extra "coolness." But who am I kidding I'd still have fun hearing the noises.

Whoa....That thing could probably take off.

Wow... the 70's here we come. Should have called it Countach Redux. It's interesting, wild,... and yet ugly.
To me, this was an design exercise of german designers (or marketeers) trying to imitate an "italian" look. Unfortunately, not successfully. It's overblown and overdone. It seems like the designers just couldn't decide when "enough" was "enough" so they just kept adding more and more creases everywhere.
The interior is really awful. First, there's no relationship with the extreme exterior. The AC vents with plastic chrome rings look like they came from an 80's Mercedes. The carpet everywhere looks like it came from a bench seat in a 70's disco. The glass cover over the engine looks like they stole it from a coffee table bought from Ikea.
I will give them credit for doing something different at the rear. It's not attractive but I do think it's a creative throw back to the countach again. But, what's with the "chicken feet" LED tail lights?
Honestly, a step to the wild side but also a big step backwards for Lamborghini. Not all things "new" are necessarily "better". Ater the Gallardo spyder, this is a disappointment for sure.
