As if, after the $1.4-million Bugatti Veyron, we needed further proof that the Volkswagen Group's collective ego is out of control, the company's adoptive child Lamborghini chose Frankfurt to introduce its Murciélago LP640-derived Reventón, a car jam-packed with every bit of race-ready technology one might want and priced accordingly &mdash how about $1.4 million? Unlike the Veyron, however, which will see some three hundred examples built during its run, the 641-horsepower Reventón (named, naturally, for a notorious fighting bovine, one that killed the famed bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943) will see a mere twenty examples roll off the line.
To keep things in perspective, $1.4 million will buy you:
- 1 Lamborghini Reventón
- 93 Volkswagen Rabbits
- 1,537 round-trip tickets from New York to Milan on Alitalia (coach class)
- 200,286 copies of Napoleon Hill's seminal Think and Grow Rich
- 1,400,000 lottery tickets Photos courtesy of Lamborghini.
