Sometimes people say the best gifts come in small packages. We beg to differ, because if someone were to deliver us the big 'ol box you see above, we'd probably think it was the best gift ever. In that box is Lamborghini Reventon number one of twenty. Apparently, it's the only example which will be sold privately via a traditional dealership -- in this case, Lamborghini of Las Vegas. The other nineteen were all spoken for before ever leaving the factory. We've attached a sampling of photos here, but to see the complete, step-by-step gallery of the car's unboxing in Sin City, you'll need to drop by Fresh Tarmac. If you're an Autoblog reader vacationing in Vegas, you know what to do if you jackpot one of those hundred-dollar slots.

I thought a beautiful female comes shipped with it that spreads herself over the hood when you aren't driving it?
Pan @ May 11th 2008 9:25AM
Best friggin' matchbox ever.

How long before we can bid for its box on eBay?
Thedevil @ May 11th 2008 9:36AM
My maximum bid is a dollar,out bid me if you dare.
Quattroporte @ May 11th 2008 9:33AM
That is, if the owner doesn't have it put back in the box and put in an underground garage/ bomb shelter until someone decades from now stumbles upon it.
Ty @ May 11th 2008 10:23AM
Hahahaha who cares. ALL 20 were bought by the super-rich before they were even MADE.
Brent @ May 11th 2008 10:25AM
Did you read the article?
Ty @ May 11th 2008 10:31AM
Skimmed, now reread. I see that in fact, the one mentioned in the article will be put up for sale.
To the super rich.
Makes no difference, really.

This being Las Vegas and all, what are the odds that this Reventon is totaled before the end of the summer?
LethalPhoenix @ May 11th 2008 10:55AM
the odds are 1/20!
Mobius_1 @ May 11th 2008 10:58AM
Appropriately in Sin City, wow, just imagine hitting the jackpot!
But some rich celeb is probably already at the dealership. Sigh.

Sweetest unboxing EVER
Happy Mothers Day honey!

I still don't get the hype surrounding Reventon. As far as the car goes, it is a typical no-frills Lambo with a new bumper. But that bumper must be made of diamonds to justify $1,000,000 premium over the stock Lambo it is based on.
Scott Eaton @ May 11th 2008 3:17PM
It is, in fact, made of diamonds and the souls of the weak.

You're a soccer mom so stick to your soccermobiles. ;)

4 hours til my flight to Vegas leaves! I have to see this thing.
Beastage @ May 11th 2008 11:38AM
LOL The packaging seems a bit cheap...
No soft material to fill the gaps, etc. imagine a little mistake by the crane operator.
Golfa @ May 11th 2008 11:47AM
i'm almost positive that it is already sold, not sure why people think it would sit in a showroom waiting to be sold..
thedriver @ May 11th 2008 11:54AM
It's long been sold, yeah.
Aetius @ May 11th 2008 12:26PM
