Damnit - I decided to buy one today. Phoned up the dealer to be told that I was customer #101 and had missed the last one by 10 minutes. BUMMER.

Have to say, I love the way it looks from the rear - lots of nice nods to the Countach back there, with the slats and the trapezoidal shapes around the taillights.

Be a great car to pick up for c.$200k in a couple of years, now that the collector car market's about to crater.

Awful name (I think even Kia would pass on "Reventon"), but what an awesome car. Just beautiful.
from the article: "Named for the bull that killed toreador Felix Guzman in 1943..." I would say that's an awful name for a prize fighting bull.

i think its kinda ugly.
its too busy - looks like something out of an aliens movie.

plus there's no internal improvements. its just a lp640 w/ a bodykit, and there're charging 3x the price?

Ok guys I need your help here. I've got a Bugatti Veyron on order, but I don't know whether to cancel it and order the new Lamborghi Reventon instead, what do you think? The other option is to get both, but I think that would just be overkill *.
This guy doesn't think so. He's getting both... http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=166503

looks ok, kinda tacky, but its ridiculously overpriced. the interior is a regular lambo interior with some minor changes...and it only has around 20 more HP than a regular murcielago. the veyron is a MUCH better car. but im sure there are plently of people in saudi arabia, UAE...etc who will buy it
