The most extreme open-air super sports car.

The 12-cylinder 6.5-liter engine delivers 670 CV of power, guaranteeing

superstar performance from the vehicle: the Reventón Roadster accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 330 km/h.

The futuristic approach to the basic design when creating all

Lamborghini models is to imagine a sculpture running at high speed. In this case, the Centro Stile designers drew inspiration from modern aeronautics.

The Reventon Roadster is a motor vehicle from Lamborghini, with all wheel drive, a mid located engine and a 2 door convertible/cabriolet body style. The 12 cylinder, double overhead camshaft naturally aspirated engine has 4 valves per cylinder and a volume of 6.5 litres. For this model it produces power and torque figures of 661 bhp (670 PS/493 KW) at 8000 rpm and 660 N-m (487 lbft/67.3 kgm) at 6000 rpm respectively. Lubrication is of the dry sump-type. The power is supplied to the wheels via a 6 speed manual gearbox. The stated kerb weight is 1690 kg. The Lamborghini Reventon Roadster is said to be able to attain a top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph), stated fuel consumption figures are 32.3/15.0/21.3 l/100km urban/extra-urban/combined, and carbon dioxide emissions are 495.0 g/km.

For roadster duty, Lamborghini has found still more horsepower in the form of the 6.5-liter V-12 now fitted in the new Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce; it produces 661 hp at 8000 rpm and 487 lb-ft of torque at 6000 rpm, and the output is distributed to all four wheels. Even with its slight structural strengthening, the Reventón roadster’s body is said to weigh only 55 pounds more than that of the coupe, so we surmise that Lamborghini’s estimate of 3.4 seconds for a 0–60 sprint—the same it reported for the coupe—isn’t far off. But the roadster won’t match the coupe’s 224-mph terminal velocity; the roofless car tops out at 205. But we’re not about to offer our scalps to find out; hair plugs are too expensive these days.

At saner speeds, the driver will be able to enjoy the Reventón’s sweet two-mode, fighter-jet-inspired instrument cluster, conveying the car’s vital signs (not those of the driver, although that wouldn’t be a bad idea given the pulse-quickening performance) via digital readouts and color-changing gauge graphics. A g-force meter is centrally located and uses the same format, Lambo says, as is used in Formula 1. Also as with the Reventón coupe, pretty much all surrounds are rendered in fuzzy Alcantara or not-so-fuzzy carbon fiber.
