VIDEO: Saudi hits Lamborghini Reventon vMax of 222 MPH
Lamborghini Reventon hits 222 mph: Click above to watch the video.
The Lamborghini Reventon is a very rare bird, indeed. There are only 20 copies in existence, and the asking price for the king of Lambos is a cool $1.4 million. For that kind of coin, owners have every right to expect world-class speed, but few will ever test the raging bull's ridiculous limits.
Admittedly, we now know for sure that one Reventon owner in Saudi Arabia has explored his Lamborghini's top end, though,and we have the video to prove it. Hit the jump to watch the Lamborghini Reventon as it reaches a top speed of 222 mph. The video is lousy and the camera stays fixated on the digital speedometer, but it's worth a watch if only for the reality that is road travel at 356 kmh. Hat tip to Ben!

I wish I could go down to my Honda dealer and purchase an FCX Clarity today, because I would.
Hydrogen powered electric vehicles are the death of OIL. No petrol.

That's not quite right. It's ....
..... "once you have a monopoly of a necessary commodity, it's easy to make money."
But yeah, it's easier to make more money when you have some than when you don't.

So... you're racist because you're jealous? Some people have money and you don't, get over it.

As much as we'd all love to do that, that looks like incriminating evidence to me. We've got a face and the proof of the speed, and a computer could probably help one pick out the characters on that license plate.
Not like with that kind of money he couldn't buy the jail he would be thrown into...

there's no speed limits out side the city limits. it's the same principle as germanys unrestricted autobahns.

...not to mention i'm sure the guys doing this are above the law anyway :P

I bet if some German dude in a Bugatti Veyron did that on the Autobahn you'd be all "oohs" and "aahs!" Of course it's some dark person from 'terrorist land' so you're not impressed...

I second that as well. Street lights doesn't look like moving at a good speed..

Yep, and Hamster has, too. Albeit he didn't quite stop...
