When the Lamborghini Reventón launched at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, it epitomised the ambition of the marque’s Centro Stile division.

The in-house design department was established in 2004 to hone the Raging Bull’s expertise in creating supercars like no other, and—following the Reventón—would later lead to the limited-run development of the Sesto Elemento, Veneno, and in 2020, the Sián.

Production of the Reventón was capped at 20 models and, in the spirit of the long-standing tradition at Lamborghini, it was named after a fighting bull, although its name also suitably translates as “small explosion” in Spanish.

To arm the Reventón with power befitting of its name, Lamborghini installed a 6.5-litre engine capable of 650 PS, derived from its Murciélago LP 640-4 sister model.

The quad cam, 48 valve V-12 could propel the car to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, while the Reventón would not stop accelerating until hitting a top speed of 340 km/h.
