When the Lamborghini Reventón launched at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, it epitomized the ambition of the marque’s Centro Stile division. Production of the Reventón was capped at 20 models and, in the spirit of the long-standing tradition at Lamborghini, it was named after a fighting bull, although its name also suitably translates as “small explosion” in Spanish.
To arm the Reventón with power befitting its name, Lamborghini installed a 6.5-liter engine derived from its Murciélago LP 640-4 sister model. The quad-cam, 48-valve V12 could propel the car to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, while the Reventón would not stop accelerating until hitting a top speed of 340 km/h. The Reventón’s futuristic design language would later become apparent in both Aventador and Huracán models, while every example was clad in the same satin grey finish over angular bodywork made entirely from carbon fiber. Intricate details such as the individual carbon fiber and LED light clusters were industry firsts and set it far apart from series production cars, while the Alcoa-forged wheels featured angular carbon-fiber blade sections to tie them into the bodywork and simultaneously improve the brake cooling.
The aeronautical theme is carried into the cabin, where the LCD instrument cluster conveys vital information in a format reminiscent of that in a fighter jet, with two screens displaying sets of converging lines that display speed and rpm with a wing-style indicator between each. Sitting atop the two screens is a third screen, capable of displaying the level of g-force being exerted on the driver. It is entirely unique and widely considered to be one of the most evocative instrument clusters ever installed in a road legal car.
This particular car is numbered 13 of the 20 made and was delivered on September 29, 2008, via Lamborghini Chemnitz in Germany. It has been owned by the same individual since new as part of a collection, and is presented with just 106 kilometers on its odometer at the time of cataloging. The Reventón was serviced in 2008 and 2009 by the Lamborghini Centre in Chemnitz and in July 2022 by Lamborghini München. It is accompanied by its manuals in the correct numbered Reventón Air Force-style bag, numbered presentation key box with numbered Reventón folding knife, numbered key ring and car cover.
This is perhaps an unrepeatable opportunity to acquire what amounts to a nearly new example of one of the most exclusive Lamborghinis ever built.
