2008 Lamborghini Reventón rides straight out of the future

Lamborghini-Reventon.jpg

I'm starting to get the feeling that when car designers go through a midlife crisis, they don't go buy a sweet sportscar — instead, they design a car that feels a lot like a plane. Well, we're better off for it and the 2008 Lamborghini Reventón is the proof. It draws heavy inspiration from aviation stylings, with its carbon fiber body and the cockpit feel of its interior. The dashboard can be adjusted between two display modes, and the liquid crystal displays will let you know what kind of forces are acting on the car, such as longitudinal acceleration during acceleration and braking

If you're wiping drool from your chin and trying to find the "buy" button, good luck — only 20 of these 2008 Reventóns will be made, starting at $1.5 million.

Speed Racer drove this car 40 years ago. Remember the Mach 5.

Wow, what a beaut. High price but there are a tone of electronics, imagine if wiring or something screwed up, no normal mechanic could fix it and you have to take it back to the place you bought it... or have a friend from NASA lol.
