Just because a person doesn’t think they are being ripped-off, does not make it true. I bet if you paid a custom tuner to build a body kit and add some LED lights to a stock Murci to make it look like the Reventon it would cost you ½ of what ~~Audi~~ Lambo charges.

Its not a rip off if people around the world line up for it. Granted, it does say a lot about the people who’d buy a Reventón…but that’s a whole ‘nother story.

This car is the biggest rip-off in the auto industry today. Audi should be ashamed of themselves for making what is nothing but an über-expensive Murci with a body kit and some LED’s.

How about an electric Lambo to give the Tesla some competition? How many thousands of horsepower can they crank out?

Lumbergh21 : I’ve got one question for you; is it as ugly looking in person as in the photos?

Nah, I almost liked it. (not considering the price) Aside from the wheels, the design is coherent. Every line has a reason to exist, and a complementary line nearby to tie it all together. And the coolest detail: Lambo’s signature louvered hood is made of sheets of tempered glass, like a high-end wet bar.

But I’d still rather have a Murcelago…or the Ford GT also in the showroom. Or 9 Ford GTs and a Veyron for that price.

The customer specs their Lambo via plasma screen in the dealership’s ritzy lounge

What is the name of that movie where the guy buys the Lambo copy and it turns out to be a total pile of crap just a mile from the factory. Why can’t I remember that name.

I hate myself for it, but I really want this car.

About a month ago I got a phone call from a friend of mine who is the financial controller of a Dallas area IP law firm (i.e. patent trolls). He asked, “Guess what I just did. I cut a check for $1.6 million to pay for a Lamborghini Reventón for my boss’ husband.” But the guy (also a lawyer at the company) sold the car three days later for $1.8 million. The attorney didn’t really need the Reventón. He’s already got a Gallardo. Suing Microsoft for patent infringement must be a good racket!

Because the Reventon looks cool while every Ferrari currently in production does not.

I still can’t figure out the Reventon…Isn’t it just a Murci with some trcik body pannels? Beyond the stab you in the knee cap look, what would make me want the Reventon over the equivalent Ferrari, or hell, over a regular non stupid ass looking Murci or LP640?

Any factory rebates or cash on the hood for those Gallardos?

I’m gonna call it the Batmoghini.

Was the facade designed to deflect radar?
