The Lamborghini Reventón is a mid-engine limited production sports car that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.[2] The official press release stated that only 20 vehicles would be sold to the public,[3] with one additional car (marked as 00/20) produced for the Lamborghini museum.[4] Each car is stamped with its number in the sequence of 20 between the driver and passenger seats.
While the exterior is new,[3] almost all the mechanical elements, including the engine, are sourced directly from the Murciélago LP 640.[5] According to the official press release, the Reventón's exterior styling was inspired by "the fastest airplanes".[6]
