2010 Lamborghini Reventón Roadster **Lots of Pictures Leaked**

[xpoint9]

2010 Lamborghini Reventón Roadster

With the plethora of hot metal being released at this month’s Frankfurt auto show, it’s of little surprise that stuff keeps trickling out. We can now add the 2010 Lamborghini Reventón Roadster to the list of too-hot-to-hold-onto reveals, as the first pictures of the topless, road bound cruise missile have surfaced on Autocar.com. We’ll be bringing you a full plate of info on this limited-edition Lambo next week when the show gets under way, but we can see here from these initial shots that it’s a proper, open-air follow-up to the Lamborghini Reventón coupe that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt show.

Based on the Murciélago, but with more sinister styling, loads more carbon fiber, and a jet-fighter-inspired cockpit, fewer than 20 examples will reportedly be built, with each carrying a price tag likely well in excess of $1 million. Power will likely come from the same 641-hp, 6.5-liter V-12 found in the hardtop, with a six-speed automated manual and all-wheel drive comprising the rest of the drivetrain. Performance also should be similar, with 60 mph arriving in as little as 3.4 seconds. However, the roadster’s top speed is likely to be a bit less than the 224 mph claimed for the coupe. Inside, expect acres of Alcantara and more carbon fiber, as well as unique aviation-themed LCD instrumentation. Check back next week for the full breakdown on Sant’Agata’s latest exotic.

Can I borrow $1.4 Million USD from someone? I'll pay back within this millenia.

[Nook]

That is insane. Though I'm not a big fan of the whole "jet" interface.

Just wondering, how does the gear changing of a Lamborghini work?

[googoo]

fugly!

[Aznkid2000]

alsome looking but not a fan of the interior

[MS MSP]

Lord Vader, your car has arrived.

I guess it would be an upgrade from this guy...

[holden]

Does anybody have the CCC report? Has anyone gotten the admin fee waived?

[TodayHello]

that thing is the "go F*ck yourself" of automobiles

[loritom]

Lord Vader, your car has arrived.

that was the tag line for the old mid '90s Chevy Impala SS.

I still have the add sitting somewhere too...

as for this audi...I mean, lamborghini... I'll reserve comment until I see what it does against a ZR1 :D

[danman227460]

Looks like paddle shifts to me. That dashboard is ugly, they are taking the whole jet theme too far. I wonder if the car goes fast enough, does it take off.

That is insane. Though I'm not a big fan of the whole "jet" interface.

Just wondering, how does the gear changing of a Lamborghini work?

[AzN_RiverdaleCI]

is this thing a jet or a car?

[maniacshopper]

is it just me or does the rear tail light assembly resemble the old lambo countach?

[noel08]

For me, it would all come down to the number of cup holders

As for the jet thing, how subliminable (as one once said) can you get?

[Anonymouse]

is it just me or does the rear tail light assembly resemble the old lambo countach?

Yah, it's clearly an homage to the Countach.

I was going to buy one, but I refuse to pay for nitrogen-filled tires and window etching. Who do these dealers think they are?

[XxXSnake23XxX]

tooo manyyy lineeesss!!!!!!!!!!

[McLaren]

The airbag cover on the steering wheel doesn't look the part of a million dollar car.

[Nukey]

Yeah, I'm not loving the interior. What's that top gauge on the dash? It almost looks like an attitude indicator. Were they expecting the car to take flight?

[Jucius Maximus]

It's aircraft inspired...

[VorteC]

Oh my gosh.

Did anyone ever think that they would have the priviledge of being alive in the same time as something as awesome as this?

[CSR]

HOT, and gorgeous.

[UrbanPoet]

Wow... Impressive.

Question....
No shifter?
No clutch?

does this car have some sort of super advanced automatic shifter that's as good as a human operated manual shift?

[xpoint9]

I've never been so scared of a car before this.

Wolfgang Egger is the guy responsible for the designs for Audi and Lambo.

[galanz]

The dash looks like it was designed by the same guy who did the Viper from the original Battlestar Galactica.

[pulpman07]

This is one crazy looking car. I do agree with you guys here. The gauges are a bit over the top.

[Aznkid2000]

some how i think that batman would own this car

[Nukey]

Bruce Wayne did have an earlier, similar looking, model in one of the movies.

Murcielago LP640

[quanvn]

very nice, but they went overboard with the cluster

[poker838]

think i read somewhere that the instrumentation is switchable to a more "conventional" layout as it is all LCD screens

[Emancipated]

Probably only available to the people who bought the hard top.

I'll be driving this car when FM3 gets released.

[bembol]

Too much, too aggressive for me.

[Emancipated]

What a dickhead. Can't drive for beans:

[user01]

Good luck if your going to drive this on the highway at 100km/h+ because those small little angry pebbles on the road will likely to have this car all dented up when the ride is over.

[pmc]

I put down my name for one i hope they don't call me :D

wow seeing the HUD in action is awesome. That's pretty nice way to display the Gears and RPM.

[boredstudent3]

that is an amazing interior,

i like the whole "fighter jet" theme, the center console with the buttons and large screen along with the wicked looking dash it is definetly cool inside

[golden]

Not sure how owner can maintain the matt / semi gloss paint finish.

[Keigotw]

Huh, manual shifting has been eliminated in high end race cars for a while now. The only thing manual shifting has going for it now is the reliability and "fun" factor... performance aspect is long gone.

[YZFMax]

+1. Paddle shifting is the way to go.

[Vladimir]

damn.... the exterior looks awesome... Don't like the interior though.

[toolin4]

You'd be surprised.

[nocash]

This is back where Lambo should be. Totally outrageous supercars.

[m4gician]

I'm sure if God drove Italian....this is his grocery getter.
