I like it! But they should have made it look more like a jet by doing something crazy with the top. Maybe a lexan canopy or something.


Also this car, even though its about the same price, cannot be compared to a Veyron. A Veyron cost Bugatti 5 million to make per unit when you include the R&D that it took. Lambo wanted to to make a profit more than it wanted to make a halo car.

F-22 Raptor and a Lambo had a baby, looks pretty nice. Price tag is too crazy though

Looks absolutely incredible! The most aggressive looking supercar on the market right now IMO. Awesome interior too. As for the price tag, no it's not worth it, but neither is an Enzo, McLaren F1 or Bugatti Veyron for their respective price-tags. You're paying a premium for the priviledge in this case of owning such a rare Lambo.

That handle has always been there, just not always carbon fiber...

Not really fond of it. It has too many hard edges, I prefer the sleekness of the LP640.

According to Steven Winkelmann (you know, the guy licking his chops laughing over the absurd profits that 20 of these are going to generate), Reventon was a bull in the 1930s or 1940s (can't remember which he said.)

While I'm not particularly fond of the Reventon, like most Lambos, they look awesome from the rear
