Lamborghini releases $1.4 million car

The Italian automaker for luxury sports car has released it most expensive car yet, the Reventon, during the recently concluded Frankfurt Auto Show. This is a very limited edition Lamborghini model that looks like that of an arrow because of its very sleek form. The Italian automaker decided to produce this to add more prestige than what it already has to its models. Though very expensive it may be, the automaker has already sold 20 units of Reventon that it plans to build. Chief Executive Stephan Winkelmann said, “As soon as the word got out, we sold out in four days.” He also added that they could have easily sold another 20. He added that most of the buyers of the Reventon were from the United States, the Italian automaker’s biggest auto market. Some of the buyers of the Reventon already have Lamborghinis of their own. “We have among our customers movie stars, sports stars…but the majority of our clients are businessmen. Men. Lovers of luxury goods,” Winkelmann said. Lamborghini has always been known to associate the names of its vehicles to aggressive images and so it named this car after a bull that ended the life of matador Felix Guzman back in 1943. This model is based on the automaker’s Murcielago LP640 model but it is after a fighter jet that auto engineers designed the car after. They just reworked the composite carbon body filter to emphasize the model’s sleekness and the angular edges that are usually associated with its vehicles. The engine is the same as the LP640: a 12-cylinder rocket that can propel the car from zero to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. When it is compared with the coupe version of the LP640, the LP640 costs relatively more around 219,600 euros.
