The Lamborghini Reventon's V12 engine is the same one found in the Mucielago LP640, but it's been tweaked to deliver an additional 10 hp, for a total of 650 hp. The 487 lb-ft of torque delivers nearly instant forward thrust to the e-gear transmission, which Lamborghini claims shifts faster than even the most expert driver. Permanent all-wheel drive delivers powers to all the tires for maximum efficiency in transferring energy from the gas pedal to the pavement. Even the rims are functional: the turbine design works to cool the ceramic disk brakes.
The Reventon is immediately identifiable as a Lamborghini, with its low-slung stature, wide wheelbase, and sharply creased angles. But the designers as the Centro Stile took every angle a bit further by taking cues from modern fighter jets. The pronounced air intakes at the nose of the car don't work exactly like those found on jets, but they do allow for increased airflow to the uprated 12-cylinder engine. Like the Murcielago, the body is a carbon fiber composite, and the rear mid-mounted engine can be seen through a clear glass cover.
