Ultra-rare Lamborghini Reventon supercar already up for sale



Lamborghini’s Reventon supercar was without doubt one of the standout cars of 2007 and with only 20 examples rolling out of the factory your chances of snapping one up now are next to nil. Not so, apparently as a Reventon has been put up for sale for the princely sum of €1,590,000 or roughly $2,344,000 at current exchange rates, a significant premium over the €1 million official price.

What’s more surprising is that this isn’t even the first Reventon put up for sale since the car’s launch last year. Back in October we reported that a Reventon owned by ex-professional footballer Hugh McAuley was for sale in the UK and then in January this year news came out Connecticut-based firm Putnam Leasing has a Reventon available on a lease.

It’s not clear who the owner of this latest car is but we can confirm that it’s being sold in Italy. In fact, an advertisement for the car has been posted here. What’s most bizarre is that in order to be eligible for one of these limited production models you’d normally need to be a longstanding customer with Lamborghini and have already previously owned a number of the exotics, not typically the type who would sell the car to make a quick profit.

the reventons haven't been delivered yet. Apparently one for sale was a publicity stunt and another is because the buyer died and his wife doesnt want the car.

It's deff. hate it or love it styling. I personally think it looks amazing. Well sort of.... Let's put it this way, as a car to drive on the weekends which it is (if the owners even drive them), I would love to have it for the look at me and the never seen it before factors but I would never drive a car that looked like that everyday (obviously neglecting the price/performance).

You really need to see that car IRL and preferably on the road before making a final judgement. Believe me seeing it IRL will blow you away

$1.4m or whatever the price is............how many more historically significant cars could you buy.

1st choice:
How about a Mclaren F1. The last street car to wins Lemans. Prior to that I think was a 1920's Bentey.

A rebodied Murci is awesome, it just ain't worth $1.4m.

The list is endless of cars that are really worth $1.4m.

The Reventon is a fraud. It speaks volumes for how AUDI truely views this iconic brand.

You want rare, how about the Versace roadster? There's one around here on the market.


Kinsella, the f1 is a true classic.

If the car is similar (and I know it is) to my friends 2008 LP640, the car is amazingly fast. Not $2 million dollar fast. The 08 LP640 spider is only $480,000 and worth every penny.

The Reventon is stunning with the right shoes on it!







I for sure would toss 200K for it!!
