Exclusivity? Try Lamborghini's $1.4 million car By Gilles Castonguay

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - What price exclusivity? If you ask Lamborghini, one million euros ($1.4 million) should do it -- before tax, of course.


In a bid to add more prestige to what it already has, the Italian maker of super luxury sports car unveiled the Reventon at Frankfurt's international autoshow, a very limited edition car that looks more like an arrow than anything on four wheels.

With the six-figure price tag, it is the most expensive car that it has ever built.

Needless to say, Lamborghini has already sold the 20 cars that it plans to build.

"As soon as the word got out, we sold out in four days," Chief Executive Stephan Winkelmann told Reuters, adding that they could have easily sold another 20.

Most of the buyers were men from the United States, Lamborghini's biggest market, he said.

Some of them are already owners of a Lamborghini, which competes with the likes of Ferrari in speed and exclusivity.

"We have among our customers movie stars, sports stars... (but) the majority of our clients are businessmen. Men. Lovers of luxury goods," said Winkelmann.

True to its tradition of cultivating an aggressive image, Lamborghini named the car after a bull that killed matador Felix Guzman in 1943.

Although it is based on its Murcielago LP640 model, Lamborghini's engineers took inspiration from a fighter jet and reworked the composite carbon fiber body to accentuate the sleekness and angular edges usually associated with its cars.

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.

By comparison, the coupe version of the LP640 costs a relatively more modest 219,600 euros.

Lamborghini, which is run by Volkswagen's (VOWG.DE) Audi division, will start making the Reventon in January and deliver them in October.

The car, which came in an opaque grey at the autoshow, has a three-year warranty.



Not bad lookin, but 1.5 mil for ONE CAR!!! I wish i was that rich and that bored with my money to even consider this.

For that price it should be able quite literally fly also. I can certainly think of better ways to spend $1.4 mill. And still have enough to live comfortably for the rest of my life.

does it give u road head while ur drivin?

$1.4 million works out to be...

7,000 hours with a TS escort assuming the average rate of $200/hour

or

292 days.

Of course, she might give you a discount on the rate if you spend 292 consecutive days with her.

If I had it like that(like Seanchai) I would get the Bugatti Veyron.haha

The origional McLaren F1 was a cool Mill and to this day it's a cool mill if you can find one!

[hondarobot]

I guess if someone want's to blow $1.4 million on a car, well, more power to 'em. Seems pretty stupid to me. Just a quick check on ebay got these results:

Private island $795,000
Decent boat $42,000

Now with tax and various fees (figuring 10%) that brings the total to $920,000 more or less. $480,000 would be left to construct a dock, a shelter of some sort (maybe a light house), and install some sort of utilities system. And you'd probably still have cash left over.

Alternately, you could buy a car that looks like the head of a cylon. Nothing wrong with owning nice cars, but that's clearly too steep of a pricetag.

For 1.4 million I could buy these cars and still have change let over:

GTM Super car

Specs

Mosler MT900

Specs

Saleen S7

Specs

All three cars look way better and will run circles around. This is only my $0.02 as I can not afford much more

[Tail Gunner]

Yeah Saleen S7 is the way to go with the HP upgrade. Had the chance to drive one at a auto show and that thing is sick and can't believe it's street legal.
