Perhaps one of the most
innovative automotive manufacturers producing cars today can be seen
in the Italian auto company Lamborghini. Recently, Lamborghini
released a super coupe known only as the Reventón. This vehicle was
thought to have been unsurmountable. Well, if there is one thing
we've learned by observing the models released by the automotive
giant, it's simply that nothing they do is ever good enough –
according to them that is. There is always a sleeker, faster,
alternative idea lurking in the shadows.
Lamborghini has always had
to be the biggest and the best which is why they always work to
achieve excess from every aspect. Excessive horsepower, excessive
styling, and excessive prices. This is one of the things Lamborghini
prides itself on. The ability to create in excess. Their newest
addition to the excess family can be seen in the new Reventón
Roadster. The Reventón Roadster is very similar to the Reventón
Coupe with the exception of one thing. The drop top. That's right,
you heard correctly. Once the cloth roof retracts, the Reventón
Roadster unveils a cock pit second to none. Reaching speeds of 330
Km/h (205 mph), this vehicle has a very unique safety feature. Should
you lose control of this beast, roll over hoops instantly pop up
behind he driver's and passenger's head.
Here's a look at a few
other specifics regarding the Reventón Roadster.
-
-
Containing a V12
engine, the Reventón Roadster is able to propel itself 0-100 km/h
in just 3.4 seconds.
-
It can continue to
accelerate to speeds topping off at 330 km/h (205 mph)
-
The Reventón
Roadster uses an automated six-speed sequential manual transmission
to send the power to the all-wheel-drive system.
-
Starting prices will
be around 1.1 Million Euros, and auto shipping deliveries began in
October 2009, about $1,632,289 U.S. Dollars.
-
Like the Coupe, the
Reventón Roadster will only be produced in small numbers, the
current estimation being at 20 vehicles before termination.
The Reventón Roadster can
be considered one of the most unique and exclusive vehicles available
today. According to Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Automobili
Lamborghini, “The
Reventón is the most extreme car in the history of the brand.
The new Roadster adds an extra emotional component to our combined
technological expertise — it unites superior performance with the
sensual fascination of open-top driving.” It's no wonder
Lamborghini is top of it's class.
