£1 million roadster leaks out ahead of Frankfurt launch

Pictures of the exclusive new Lamborghini Reventon roadster have leaked out ahead of the car’s unveiling at the Frankfurt motor show next week.

The reports accompanying the leaked pictures claim the styling is inspired by jet-engined aircraft and the body panels are made from carbonfibre. A hard-top version of the Reventon was seen as Frankfurt two years ago.

Inside, it is reported to get an Alcantara leather interior with lots of carbonfibre trim. It rides on 18-inch lightweight alloy wheels.

Power is likely to come from the 6.5-litre V12 engine it shares with the Murcielago. In the Reventon, it is expected to produce 641bhp and 487lb ft of torque. It should be mated to a six-speed ‘box and be equipped with all-wheel drive. It is expected to get from 0-62mph in 3.4secs and reach a top speed of 211mph.

Production is rumoured to be limited to just 20 units, with an expected price tag of more than £1 million.

Whenever I come across a

Whenever I come across a sleek car like a Lamborghini, my attention is always captured like what happened last week. A red Lamborghini drove past me but missed the green light, and I was right beside it. I could not contain my excitement when my car was right beside it. I could imagine sliding my hands across its body. From seat, the accessories and dashboard looks very minimalistic that for a while I thought the owner probably customized it. With this new Lamborghini, I would be even more in shock. The luxury car manufacturer planned to produce 20, but in the end, the number was reduced to 15. All 15 were already pre-sold. One unit costs a million quid a pop, according to Top Gear. Imagine, a couple of its accessories can probably buy you 3 or more decent cars!

That was probably the regular version.
