Lamborghini Reventon No3 Looking for its Third Owner


If you ever had any doubts that, rare exotic supercars like the Lamborghini Murcielago Reventon spend most -if not all- of their life parked in showrooms or private garages, then take a look at this example that has been listed for sale on eBay with a 'Buy it Now Price' of US$1,495 million.

This Reventon is said to be car number 3 of the 20 that Sant' Agata churned out, and just one of ten that came to the U.S.


The 650HP Italian rocket that's capable of speeds in excess of 340km/h or 211mph has clocked a mere 78 miles on the odo since it arrived in the States in 2008 and only 5 miles since it changed hands for the second time in September of last year!

True, the Reventon is a one-of-a-kind supercar / collectible and its owners should be extremely cautious when it comes to using the vehicle, but being a car guy and all, I can't help but think that's it's a real shame that most of these cars will never be driven as they were meant...

Lamborghini Miura Concept





Lamborghini brings back a legendary name from the company’s past with the breathtaking “Lamborghini Miura Concept”. which its the first vehicle to be conjured from Walter de’ Silva, Head of Lamborghini Design.

Celebrating its 40th Anniversary, the Miura was originally designed by Marcello Gandini and was first publicly presented at the 1966 Geneva Show.

De’ Silva has redesigned every aspect of the car while remaining absolutely faithful to the original form. The new car retains the extraordinary purity of line characteristic of the original Miura. The designer’s intervention has been defined by refining the contours and eliminating any superfluous detail in order to enhance the clean, simple lines and perfectly-balanced proportions of the original that so impassioned enthusiasts. The restyling of the lower part of the body takes the car’s structural strength and aerodynamic performance to new heights, without disturbing the delicate aesthetic equilibrium.

And so a true design icon is reborn. “Over the last two years,” explains Walter de’ Silva, “I have often dreamt of redesigning the Miura. Now, thanks to my new position at the head of Lamborghini design and the enthusiastic support of the Lamborghini CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, I have been able to turn that dream into a reality.”

The “Lamborghini Miura Concept” will be on show at the Lamborghini stand at the 2006 NAIAS SHOWin Detroit.
