Lamborghini Reventon Takes to the Skies

Today in Turin Italy a military helicopter piloted by the Marina Militare Italiana, the Italian Marine Corp took to the skies with a special payload, the Lamborghini Reventon, car stylized after an F-22 Raptor, Thanks to the Italian Military they gave the supercar the opportunity to come as close as it ever will to skimming through the skies like the jet engined fighter jet it was based on.

The Reventon came to rest upon the Lingotto building as a ceremonial ending to the “Lamborghini and Speed - A Project in Record Time.” A conference hosted by Lamborghini showcasing production design, and timescale abilities as shown by Lamborghini by producing the $1 million dollar supercar. The conference was apart of the “Turin 2008 - World Design Capital” festivities and had many local, and international VIPs, including many representatives from the automotive industry.

Lamborghini LP560-4 Options

*Edit more accurate pricing

CarFront’s source was off for the list price of the LP560-4, what can we say, we try hard to get you info as fast as we can, sometimes this causes a mistake here and there. We’ve been informed from an licensed Lamborghini dealer that Base price is $191,000 for a 6 speed and $210,600 for the eGear

So if you decide to run a fully optioned LP560-4 You’re going to be swimming in the $250k price range, and definitely not playing in the $300k+ ball park.

Ready to fork out the list price of $280,000 for the new Lamborghini LP560-4? Well you’ll need to choose your options which will send the price climbing.

Carbon Ceramic Breaks, a must have will run you a staggering $18,768. Add Sat nav in the car, that will add $3,113. Want the largest alloys available? tack on $6,256. Add on the sport package for another $2,681 and finally, if you make your e-gear you will be adding a final $12,054. So if you get your new Lambo fully loaded you can be looking to spend about $322,000. Against the $332,700 Ferrari Scuderia, sign me up!
