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.

No, there's no way that attaching a random bit of shiny, pointy aluminium to the front of your drum kit will make it sound better.
