1 million euro Lamborghini Reventon – 20 only
Image Gallery (18 images)On the passenger’s side of the vehicle, the air intake is flat because in this case, it only has to ensure the flow below the floor. The aerodynamically optimized flat floor structure terminates at the rear with a diffuser featuring an accentuated shape. This provides excellent road grip and stability even at 340 kmh.
In spite of the extreme shape, the Reventón not only retains all the strong features of the Murciélago LP640, but also offers further amelioration in terms of aerodynamics, the important engine cooling system, the air intake system and brakes. The airflow and the section of the variable geometry air intakes of the engine and the rear spoiler (also adjustable) have been modified.
The engine hood made of glass laminate with open ventilation slits offers a glimpse of the beating heart of the twelve cylinders of the super car. The glass also features the marked arrow angle that characterizes the design from the front to the rear spoiler. The Lamborghini designers’ love for detail is beautifully illustrated by the fuel tank lid: a small mechanical work of art, achieved by milling a solid aluminum block.
The combination lights feature light-emitting diodes alongside Bi-Xenon headlights at the front. Seven LEDs ensure continuous daylight while there are a further nine diodes for the indicator and hazard lights. Another technical innovation is found in the rear light LEDs. Because of the high temperature in the rear low part of the car, special heatproof LEDs are used for the indicator and hazard lights, stoplights and rear lights with a triple arrow optical effect.
For the 20 examples of the Reventón, the designers from Sant’Agata Bolognese have created a totally new color: a mid opaque green/grey without the usual shine but given depth via embedded metallic particles.
The wheel rims where also specially created for the Reventón. Opaque carbon fins are screwed onto the black aluminum spokes that not only creating a precise visual impact, but provide a turbine effect to ensure optimum cooling for the ceramic brake disks.
The cockpit is designed and created using Alcantara, carbon, aluminum and leather. The instruments comprise three TFT liquid crystal displays with innovative display modes. At the touch of a button, the driver can choose from two vehicle information display modes. The instruments are housed in a structure milled from a solid aluminium block, protected by a carbon fiber casing.
The G-Force-Meter is also completely new: this display shows the dynamic drive forces, longitudinal acceleration during acceleration and braking, as well as transversal acceleration around bends. These forces are represented by the movement of an indicator on a graduated 3D grid depending on the direction and intensity of the acceleration. A similar instrument can be found in the airplanes and Formula One teams use a similar device to analyze dynamic forces.
