By simply pressing a button, the driver can switch to the second, quasi-analogical display, where the classic circular instruments, speedometer and engine speed indicator are configured in an equally innovative way and transformed into luminous pilot lamps with varying colors.
From the conception of the very first radical ideas, the entire Reventón has been developed in Sant’Agata Bolognese thanks to tight teams of creative experts. An extremely refined and efficient process was employed: CAD design and development, creation of the prototype in the Prototype Department, all carried out under the constant supervision of the Research and Development Department’s technicians and testers.
Inaugurated in 2004, the Centro Stile is located in a 2,900 square two-storey building. The large pavilion houses two test floors and related production and analysis equipment, while other rooms are set aside for advanced computerized workstations for designers and a style-model construction workshop. The Centro Stile is also closely linked to the nearby Engineering Department creating a direct line between the Lamborghini development departments.
It took less than a year to progress from the first ideas of the Lamborghini Reventón to the finished car. Centro Stile has given the company the ability to create its own style philosophy in-house without having to rely on any external collaboration.
The technology found in the Murciélago LP640 has not been modified. The engine in the LP640 is the classic twelve-cylinder engine with 6.5 litre displacement and Lamborghini guarantees an astounding 650 HP (478 kW) at 8,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The huge torque, equal to maximum 660 Nm, ensures a powerful switch from any number of revolutions: even the slightest pressure on the accelerator is spontaneously transformed into thrust. The robotized e.gear changes gear faster than even the most expert driver. In addition, the permanent Viscous Traction four-wheel drive system ensures that every force is constantly translated into movement.
As in the original Murciélago LP640, the Reventón accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, with a maximum speed over 340 kmh.
The 20 units will be manufactured in Sant’Agata.
