The rumors of a new super Lambo are true, but the most remarkable aspect of the new Lamborghini Reventon isn't its horsepower or torque, it's the price -- 1 million euros even. That's more than a 300 percent premium over the Murcielago upon which the Reventon is based. Forking over an extra $700,000 gets you about 20 extra horsepower, loads of carbon-fiber trim and some questionable bodywork. So yeah, it's not much of a deal, but with only 20 slated for construction in 2008, the exclusivity of the Reventon is the real draw. "It's the most powerful and expensive Lamborghini ever built," said Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Lamborghini SpA at the reveal here in Frankfurt. Apparently a phrase like that is enough, as all 20 Reventons have already been sold. -- Ed Hellwig, Inside Line Lead Senior Editor

The bodywork is surely unique. I can't stop looking at the glass engine cover and the presumably lightweight rims.

The world has so much money that even Supercars take huge leap in pricing. 450hp and 150k price tag seem too little now.

Being rich doesn't necessarily mean you aren't a sucker, I suppose.
I think it looks ridiculous. Cartoonish.
It just looks like a body kit designed by a high schooler. Or a kit car based on the Fiero.

..I dont know what it is. This car looks somewhat dissappointing, but at the same time, I would love to own it for bragging rights!!
an extra $700,000 for an additional 10hp, a wicked exterior, and crazy exclusivity..I guess that works given that all 20 cars are already sold..

Now I don't think I'd touch it with a ten foot barge pole. Not that I'd get anywhere near it with one, mind.
Although, I have come across the only place in the UK that seems to have one for sale:
http://innovationcars.com/blog/lamborghini-reventon/
I still couldn't afford it with a 95% discount.
