2010 Lamborghini Reventon Roadster

• Only 15 units built—each one a rolling carbon sculpture.

• Powered by a 6.5-liter V12 pushing out 661 hp and 660 Nm.

• Design directly inspired by military aircraft, without subtlety.

If You Blink, You Might Miss It—Or Burn

The 2010 Lamborghini Reventon Roadster isn’t shy. It’s not elegant. It’s brutal. In press photos, it looks like it’s been sketched with a straightedge and adrenaline. The matte-finished body—finished in what Lamborghini calls "Reventón Grey"—pulls straight from the world of stealth fighters. It’s low. It’s flat. It looks like it could slice air before the engine even starts.

Drop the top (manually, of course) and it becomes something even more aggressive—like a concept that accidentally made it into production. But here’s the kicker: only 15 did.

Still a V12, Still Mad

At the back, under a fighter-jet-style glass engine cover, lives the same screaming 6.5-liter V12 from the Murciélago LP670-4 SV. In this form, it kicks out 661 hp at 8,000 rpm and 660 Nm of torque at 6,000. It’s hooked to Lamborghini’s old-school e-gear single-clutch automated manual—clunky by today’s standards, but perfectly on-brand for a car that doesn’t care about your neck.

0 to 100 km/h? Just 3.4 seconds. Flat out? 330 km/h if you have enough highway—and nerve.

Sculpted with Intent

Every angle, crease, and surface of the Reventon Roadster is cut with a purpose. Not soft curves, but sharp bevels—like armor plates snapped into place. The wheels mimic turbine blades, and the brake cooling vanes are integrated as if someone bolted on aircraft control surfaces.

It’s not just for show, either. The active aero manages airflow at speed, and the wide stance gives it the posture of something that knows it belongs on a runway, not a road.

Cockpit, Not Cabin

Step inside and the military influence doesn’t stop. Three TFT screens replace analog dials, including a G-meter display straight out of a fighter jet. Materials? Black leather, matte carbon fiber, and military green Alcantara everywhere. The center tunnel and dash are machined from a solid aluminum block. It’s not minimalist—it’s mission-ready.

Context? What Context.

There’s nothing to compare this to—not really. Not even a Pagani. The Reventon Roadster isn’t chasing Nürburgring times or electric rivals. It’s a poster car. A collectible. A reminder that sometimes, design wins. And when Lamborghini says they’re building 15 cars, they really mean it.
