Final Lamborghini Reventon Arrives in U.K.

Britain has received its first, and last Lamborghini Reventón this week as a mystery customer drove off with number 20 of 20 in the world from Lamborghini's Sant'Agata-based factory, close to Bologna. The man had ordered his vehicle from the official Midlands dealer, Lamborghini Birmingham.

Lamborghini Birmingham sales manager Dominic Mulvey commented after escorting the man to Bologna: "Our client was understandably delighted. Lamborghini's President and CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, personally presented the Reventón to its new owner who then drove off in his new car."

Reventón is an ultra-limited-edition Lambo with a V12 engine thrusting out a good 650bhp (485kW) for a top velocity of over 211mph (340km/h). These cars will be about as rare as a V12 supercar from Uzbekistan. Those who parted with their €1 million for the privilege of being one of 20 aren't expected on public roads often, with most planning to keep their treasures in the garage. Not this guy. He is apparently committed to driving his car as often as possible.

LAMBORGHINI REVENTON NUMBER 20 ARRIVES IN THE UK

Lamborghini delivered the last of its 20, one million euro plus taxes, Reventón cars this week, to a British customer of the official Midlands dealer, Lamborghini Birmingham.

“Our client was understandably delighted,” said Lamborghini Birmingham sales manager Dominic Mulvey, who accompanied his client to Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata-based factory near Bologna. “Lamborghini’s President and CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, personally presented the Reventón to its new owner who then drove off in his new car.”

The UK-bound V12 Reventón, number 20 of 20 with a minimum 650 hp and a top speed in excess of 211 mph , is the last of the Reventón cars, all of which were sold prior to its public reveal in September 2007. It is the only Reventón being delivered to the UK. The buyer, who wishes to remain nameless, is committed to driving his car rather than simply garaging it however, so the last Reventón may well be seen throughout the country at Lamborghini, motorsport and social events.
