Lamborghini Reventon boasts configurable displays

It looks like Lamborghini's new extremely limited Reventon won't have any trouble attracting attention inside or out, with its eye-catching exterior backed up by a fully tricked-out interior, including "completely customizable" displays. In addition to displaying all the usual vehicle-related information, they can even be used to display a g-force meter, which is apparently a first for the company. As for the rest of the vehicle, you'll get a mid-mounted 6.5-liter V12 engine that's been up-rated for 650 horsepower, along with some new lightweight carbon-fiber body panels that promise improved aerodynamics, which together should push it to a top speed of 211 miles per hour. What's more, while only twenty of the vehicles will be built in the 2008 calendar year, the company says that the Reventon "is not destined to remain a one-off, " although we'd still expect it to remain a pretty exclusive club.

You mean the one standing like a man? Lol...no thanks! Ugh!

[Abuzar Posted Sep 11th 2007 5:44PM]

Wow, you have to be gay(no offense to homosexuals) if you don't think that girl is hot. Seriously what is wrong with people's taste these days?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 11th 2007 4:02PM]

Bet Michael Knight has his on pre-order.

[Neon Jebus Posted Sep 11th 2007 4:02PM]

That Tach on the left side totally reminds me of Knight Rider!

[slyg4m3r Posted Sep 11th 2007 4:04PM]

Looks decent, might order one just for the kicks...

[xzavier Posted Sep 11th 2007 4:07PM]

I can't tell if I am looking at a futuristic dashboard version of the Night Rider KITT car display or the display inside of Darth Vader’s helmet!

Either way it goes it is still cool looking. Now I only hope I don't spend too much time trying to figure out what the display says while I am driving down the street!

:D

The car is nice, but the name sucks big time, in Spanish sounds awful

[tonicboy Posted Sep 11th 2007 4:24PM]

So this Lamborghini is limited edition huh? As opposed to all those other mass-produced ones I guess...

[modrak Posted Sep 11th 2007 4:28PM]

Wow...if someone in our garage is getting one, I'll surely make a "hands-on" gallery :P

Was that the new batmobile for the upcoming Batman movie? If not, it gets my vote.

The one in the movie may look badass. But like a badass garbage truck.

so when can we expect the engadget giveaway for this one?

[madgamer2000 Posted Sep 11th 2007 4:33PM]

Nissan skylines had a G-meter in the dash back in the mid-late 90's. still, cool dash.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 11th 2007 4:35PM]

Could we get one of these in the giveaway a day?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 11th 2007 4:37PM]

awesome car

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 11th 2007 4:56PM]

*yawn* still waiting on the mini-missiles behind the headlights

[SpiralProphet Posted Sep 11th 2007 4:56PM]

i'll take 2..

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 11th 2007 5:13PM]

wow that thing is hot! too bad i, like 99% of the rest of the population will never be able to afford it!

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 15th 2007 4:34PM]

Even if you could, I heard today that they are sold out... d'oh.

[kcandiloro Posted Sep 11th 2007 5:30PM]

But you know that as soon as you buy one at $1,600,000 they'll lower the price to $1,599,800

[Abuzar Posted Sep 11th 2007 5:46PM]

Haha, that cracked me up. Also the extra 500 dollar Lamborghini gift card they will be giving away will just break us wont it?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 11th 2007 10:44PM]

If lambourghini is anything like Apple, I'm sure the early adopters will get a nice 200 dollar cash back.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 12th 2007 6:41PM]

Customizable HUD, now this sound's like a winner.. To bad it's in a car I could honestly care less about..

[dashin Posted Sep 11th 2007 7:50PM]

that thing got a hemi?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 11th 2007 10:03PM]

r u a fucken retard

[red97vette Posted Sep 12th 2007 12:42PM]

nice car, but def NOT worth one million. Looks like some jazzed up version of an existing car with not much creativity or advancements. Seems like they just wanted to make a car thats price tag would equal something insane, and therefor exclusive with bragging rights, but instead is just way overpriced.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 11th 2007 11:04PM]

The left side of the display looks like the landing sequence from Battlestar Galactica circa 1977, and the right side looks like ASCII art of Darth Vader as a cyclops. But it's still kewl!

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 12th 2007 12:14AM]

... but no HUD??? What kind of a fighter is that?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 12th 2007 12:35AM]

The gauges look perfect if you're about to drop a torpedo down the tail pipe of the deathstar.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 12th 2007 4:16AM]

God that looks sexy! I don't care that you guys are bashing it cause it looks like something out of a Sci-Fi movie or series. It looks awesome... I would buy that in a heartbeat if I had the money. This looks like it has everything.

[gjunky Posted Sep 12th 2007 5:09AM]

I rather take this engine in the VW Golf GTI W12-650 (go ahead and run a quick google search on W12-650)

If VW would just put that one in production. I think you could easily afford a customizable dash over the price of the Lambo.
