• The most expensive and most powerful Lamborghini in the world in 2010
• 670 hp version of the legendary Bizzarrini V12
• Delivered new in Switzerland
• Two owners from new
• German registration document
Even more exclusive and more powerful than the coupé, the Reventón Roadster - of which just 15 were produced - was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009. With a price well in excess of a million euros, and 670 hp under the bonnet, the Reventón Roadster asserted itself at the time as the most radical Lamborghini ever produced.
No more and no less than one of the most extreme cabriolets on the planet to this day!
Although the Reventón coupé's style was inspired by "the fastest aeroplanes", under its coachwork it was mechanically similar to the Murciélago LP640. Successor to the Diablo and the Lamborghini flagship, the Murciélago hypercar was presented in 2001 for model-year 2002 and, like its predecessors, received the name of a fighting bull. The Murciélago was then Lamborghini's first new model in eleven years, but also the first new release from the Italian marque since its purchase by the Volkswagen Group in 1998. Designed by Luc Donckerwolke, the Murciélago was very low, with its roof standing at under 1.20 m and of course was furnished with the distinctive scissor doors that swing upwards and forwards when opened. A mix of carbon fibre, steel and aluminium were used for the chassis/shell, while the suspension used the standard double wishbone technique at all four wheels. Its engine is longitudinal, a 6.2 litre V12 whose lineage can be traced back to the first Lamborghinis of 1964. As fitted in the Murciélago, this formidable engine produced 572 hp, transmitted to the ground via four-wheel drive. An adjustable rear spoiler and variable air intakes were deployed automatically when necessary and kept the Murciélago stable at its top speed of around 199 mph.
A roadster and a sharpened version, the LP640, followed in quick succession, the latter powered by a 6.5 litre version of the legendary Lamborghini V12 designed by Giotto Bizzarrini and available with the previously unseen E-gear robotised sequential gearbox. Of note are various limited editions before the last Murciélago - the LP 670-4 Super Veloce (SV) - which made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 2009. As its name suggests, the LP 670 produced 670 hp (661 bhp) and it is this version of the eternal Lamborghini V12 that can be found on the Reventón Roadster. That is 20 hp more than the Reventón Coupé. 0 to 60 mph was announced at 3.4 seconds and 205 mph as the top speed, around 6 mph more than the coupé. The total weight only exceeds the hard-topped version by 25 kg, weighing in at 1,690 kg, a real achievement. One of the spectacular characteristics of this model is its overroll system that deploys to protect the occupants in the event that the car rolls.
The all-wheel drive chassis remained unchanged and the roadster was endowed with the Lamborghini six-speed E-Gear transmission. Alloy wheels with Y-shaped spokes and ceramic carbon brakes were fitted as standard. Like on the coupé, the roadster's rear spoiler deployed at around 80 mph, taking on a steeper angle at around 136 mph to achieve greater downforce.
The Lamborghini Reventón Roadster still sports a highly angular style, very much inspired by the world of stealth aircraft. All curves have vanished, giving way to crisp-cut lines that transfigure the original design of the Murciélago. Most of the panels of the coachwork, except the doors, are made of carbon fibre composite (CFC). Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., said: "The Reventón is the most extreme car in the world: a true automotive superlative. Our designers at the Lamborghini Style Centre took the technical base of the Murciélago LP640 and compressed and intensified its DNA, its genetic code".
While designing the Reventón, Manfred Fitzgerald, Lamborghini's director of brand and design, took his team to a European NATO base for inspiration. During their trip, the team members were unanimously seduced by the design of the F-22 Raptor, a single-seater tactical stealth fighter aircraft. Back at the factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, they got to work...
The paint finish adds to the car's fighter aircraft look. The new shade is described as a mid opaque green/grey "without the usual shine". The finish is matt, but thanks to the addition of metallic particles to the paint, the car can be surprising in certain lights. Among numerous other remarkable details: the wheel rims. Carbon fibre fins are screwed onto each of the rims' aluminium spokes. True to the philosophy of the marque, the fins are not only stylish, they also act as turbines, ensuring proper cooling of the solid carbon brakes. LEDs are used for the rear lights, with all the artistic freedom that this allows. The total aircraft look continues right down to the design of the fuel tank cap.
Like the coupé, the interior is completely insane: note the presence of an accelerometer to measure the G-force to which the driver is subject around bends. Longitudinal and transverse acceleration are shown on a special 3D screen, another loan from aviation. Evo magazine described it thus: "As usual it's the interior that's arguably the star of the show with the cutting-edge, strike-fighter themes perhaps even more stunningly resolved than the exterior's. Instead of dials, the dash has aircraft-style multi-mode liquid crystal displays – two transreflective, one transmissive – set in a housing milled from solid aluminium billet shrouded in a carbon fibre casing. The driver can choose from three vehicle information settings and, at the press of a button, switch from a digital to an analogical display with classic circular instruments. There's even a G-force meter."
In a specific Grigio Reventón colour with a black interior, this incredibly rare supercar was sold new in Switzerland by Lamborghini Porrentruy and has always been maintained there. It was serviced in February 2011 at 2,028 km, in August 2012 at 2,371 km, in August 2013 at 3,187 km and in January 2018 at 3,778 km. The current and second owner acquired it in 2018.
With just under 4,100 km on the clock from new and never having been in an accident, this Reventón Roadster is in very good condition. It is sold with its German registration document and all its original documentation, including its "flight recorder" box and the military bag that goes with it.

2010 Lamborghini Reventón Roadster
Châssis #ZHWBE91N8ALA03991
• Lamborgini la plus chère et la plus puissante du monde en 2010
• V12 Bizzarrini mythique dans sa version 670 ch
• L'une des 15 construites
• Livrée neuve en Suisse
• Deux propriétaires depuis l'origine
• Document allemand d'immatriculation
Encore plus exclusive et plus puissante que le coupé, la Reventón Roadster – seulement 15 exemplaires produits – a été dévoilée au Salon de Francfort en 2009. Avec un tarif dépassant allègrement le million d'euros et 670 ch sous le capot, la Reventón Roadster s'imposait alors comme la Lamborghini la plus radicale jamais produite.
Ni plus ni moins que l'un des cabriolets les plus extrêmes de la planète, encore aujourd'hui !
Bien que le style extérieur du coupé Reventón avait été inspiré par « les avions les plus rapides », sous la carrosserie, elle se montrait mécaniquement similaire à la Murciélago LP640. Héritière de la Diablo et vaisseau amiral de Lamborghini, l' hypercar Murciélago avait été présentée en 2001 pour l'année-modèle 2002 et, comme ses devancières recevait le nom d'un taureau de combat. La Murcielago était alors le premier nouveau modèle de Lamborghini depuis onze ans, mais aussi la première nouveauté de la marque italienne depuis son achat par le groupe Volkswagen en 1998. Dessiné par Luc Donckerwolke, la Murcielago était très basse, avec une hauteur de toit de moins de 1,20 m et recevait bien sur les typiques portes en élytres qui basculait vers le haut et en avant quand on les ouvrait. Un mélange de fibre de carbone, d'acier et d'aluminium était utilisé pour le châssis/coque, tandis que la suspension faisait appel à l'habituel technique de double triangulation aux quatre roues. Son moteur est monté longitudinalement, un V12 de 6,2 litres dont l'ascendance remontait aux premières Lamborghini de 1964. Tel qu'installé dans la Murciélago, ce formidable moteur développait 572 ch transmis au sol via quatre roues motrices. Un aileron arrière et des entrées d'air mobiles se déployaient automatiquement si nécessaire et maintenaient la Murciélago stable à sa vitesse de pointe d'environ 320 km/h.
Un roadster et une version affutée, la LP640, suivirent rapidement, cette dernière propulsée par une version 6,5 litre du légendaire V12 Lamborghini conçu par Giotto Bizzarrini et disponible avec l'inédite boîte séquentielle robotisée E-Gear. Notons diverses éditions limitées avant l'ultime Murciélago – la LP 670-4 Super Veloce (SV) – qui fit ses débuts au Salon de Genève en 2009. Comme le suggère son nom, la LP 670 développait 670 ch (661 ch) et ce fut cette version de l'éternel V12 de Lamborghini qu'on retrouve dans le roadster Reventón. Soit 20 ch de plus que le coupé Reventon. Le 0 à 100 km/h est annoncé en 3,4 secondes et les 330 km/h sont annoncés en vitesse de pointe, soit 10 km/h de moins que le coupé. Le poids total n'est supérieur que de 25 kg par rapport à la version fermée, soit 1690 kg sur la bascule, un exploit. Une des caractéristiques spectaculaires de cette dernière était son arceau de sécurité qui se déployait pour protéger les occupants en cas de retournement.
Le châssis à transmission intégrale restait inchangé et le roadster était doté de la transmission à six rapports E-Gear de Lamborghini, des roues en alliage à bâtons en Y et les freins carbone céramique étant montés en série. Comme sur le coupé, l'aileron arrière du roadster se déployait à environ 130 km/h (80 mph), prenant une forte inclinaison à environ 220 km/h (136 mph) pour un appui plus affirmé.
La Lamborghini Reventon Roadster affiche toujours un style tout en angles marqués, très inspiré du monde des avions furtifs. Les courbes, totalement éludées, font place à une musculature taillée à la serpe qui transfigure le dessin de base de la Murcielago. La plupart des panneaux de carrosserie, hormis les portes, sont réalisés en CFC, un matériau composite à base de fibre de carbone. Sephan Winkelmann, président et directeur général d'Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., avait déclaré à son sujet : « La Reventón est la voiture la plus extrême du monde : un véritable superlatif automobile. Nos designers du Centre de Style Lamborghini ont pris la base technique de la Murciélago LP640 et ont comprimé et intensifié son ADN, son code génétique ».
Lors de la création de la Reventón, Manfred Fitzgerald, directeur de la marque et du design de Lamborghini, a emmené son équipe sur une base européenne de l'OTAN pour s'en inspirer. Au cours de leur voyage, les membres de l'équipe ont été unanimement séduits par le design du F-22 Raptor, un chasseur tactique furtif monoplace. De retour à l'usine de Sant'Agata Bolognese, a planché sur le sujet...
La finition de la peinture ajoute à l'apparence d'avion de chasse de la voiture. La nouvelle teinte est décrite comme un vert/gris moyennement opaque « sans la brillance habituelle ». La finition n'est pas brillante, mais grâce à l'ajout subtil de paillettes métalliques dans la peinture, dans certaines conditions d'éclairage, la voiture surprend. Parmi les nombreux autres détails remarquables : les jantes. On retrouve des ailettes en fibre de carbone vissées sur chaque rayon en aluminium de la jante. Fidèles à la philosophie maison, les ailettes ne sont pas là uniquement pour le style, elles contribuent à créer un effet de turbine, facilitant ainsi le refroidissement des freins massifs en carbone. Les feux arrière adoptent les LED, avec la liberté de graphisme qu'elles autorisent. L'ambiance aviation absolue se poursuit jusqu'au dessin de la trappe à carburant.
Comme le coupé l'intérieur est complètement fou : notons la présence d'un accéléromètre qui indique le nombre de « G » supporté par le pilote en virage. Les accélérations longitudinales et transversales sont retranscrites via un écran en 3D spécifique, encore un emprunt au monde de l'aéronautique. Le magazine Evo le décrira ainsi : « Comme d'habitude, c'est sans conteste l'intérieur qui est la star du spectacle avec des éléments d'avant-garde, des thèmes d'avion de chasse peut-être encore plus affirmés qu'à l'extérieur. À la place des compteurs, le tableau de bord arbore des afficheurs à cristaux liquide multi-mode style aviation – deux transréflectifs et un transmissif – dans un logement foré dans l'aluminium massif encastré dans un cadre en fibre de carbone. Le conducteur peut choisir entre trois réglages d'information du véhicule d'une simple pression sur un bouton, passer d'un affichage digital à un affichage analogique avec des instruments circulaires classiques. Il y a même un témoin pour mesurer la force d'accélération... »
