lamborghini Reventon

[edit] Performance
Initial reports suggest that the 6.5 L (400 cu in) V12 may receive a power boost of approximately 10 bhp (7.5 kW), bringing the new output to 650 bhp (480 kW).[7][2] In spite of this, and the car's carbon fibre components, the Reventón accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in the same time as the Murciélago LP640 (3.4 seconds).[3] The car is capable of reaching a maximum speed of over 340 km/h (210 mph).[3]


Interior
The instrument panel in the Reventón comprises three TFT liquid crystal displays LCDs) with two different display modes. The instruments are housed in a structure milled from a solid aluminum block, protected by a carbon fiber casing. The G-Force-Meter is completely new and it is one of the talking points of the Reventón. It displays the dynamic drive forces, longitudinal acceleration during acceleration and braking, as well as transversal acceleration around bends. These forces are represented by the movement of an indicator on a graduated 3D grid depending on the direction and intensity of the acceleration. Formula One teams also use a similar device to analyze dynamic forces.

By simply pressing a button, the driver can switch to the second, quasi-analogical display, where there are the usual circular instruments; speedometer and tachometer. The G-Force-Meter still remains at the center of this display mode.[10]


Exterior

Rear view of the Lamborghini Reventón.Lamborghini has also picked up some of parent company Audi's design language. The Reventón is the first Lamborghini to incorporate daylight running lights into the headlamps. Seven Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) at each headlamp flank the Bi-Xenon main beam and they stay lit whenever the car is in movement. Due to the high temperatures in the rear lower part of the car, special heatproof LEDs are used for the indicator and hazard lights, stoplights and rear lights with a triple arrow optical effect.[10]


Naming
The Reventón is named after a fighting bull in keeping with Lamborghini tradition. The bull, owned by the Don Rodríguez family, was best known for killing famed bullfighter Félix Guzmán in 1943.[11] Reventón means "explosion" or "burst" in Spanish, when used as a noun.[12][13] In automotive terms, it means "blowout, flat tire" when used as a noun.[14] When it was used as the name of a bull, however, it was intended to be interpreted as an adjective, a quality or property of that bull in particular
