Lamborghini today held a press conference entitled ”Lamborghini and speed – a project in record time” as part of the “Turin 2008 – World Design Capital” programme of events. In spectacular fashion, Lamborghini had the Marina Militare Italiana (the Italian marines) air lift a Reventon supercar over the city of Turin by military helicopter and land it on the rooftop of the Lingotto building, thus, closing the conference. With local, international and academic VIPs including representatives from the automotive industry in attendance, the purpose of the conference was to explore the extraordinary timescales, design and production abilities demonstrated in producing the 1 million Euro Reventon supercar, of which all 20 units have been sold worldwide.

I think it doesn't need to. The GT-R is probably more popular anyway. I wonder how fast the Reventon is around the Nürburgring?

lol well said AG4
GTR is not competing against reventon .. soo why even make such a comment? its two very different cars with different purpose.. yes they both go fast ... but the reventon is a collectors car and a design experiment really...

exactly. its sad how pretty much any sports car that gets released gets immediately compared to the gt-r, even if it totally different.

Audi doesn't have smart engineering? Its hard to believe that when it comes from someone who didn't spell engineering correctly.

gt-r = track car and, in a few years, boy racer. reventon = perfect showoffs car, the sort of thing made just to impress the world.
