2007 LA Auto Show: Lamborghini Reventon Makes First U.S. Appearance
Given its roughly $1.4 million price tag, you wouldn’t think the
Lamborghini Reventon would travel much. Well, one made the trip to LA for today’s press conference, and there was a good reason according to Stefan Winkelmann, CEO of Lamborghini. California is the single biggest market in the U.S., and the U.S. is the single biggest market in the world...
In fact, of the 20 Reventons that will be made, 11 were sold to U.S. customers. That's still only .22 Reventons per state, so don't expect to see one in traffic anytime soon.

Surprisingly I saw one last week. It was driving into Vancouver, BC on Hwy 99 on the morning rush hour.
I didn't know what it was at first (other then being a Lambo). I looked it up as soon as I got to work, no mistakeing that back end :)
I've said it once, and I'll say it again, this is the coolest supercar of all time.
You're so lucky to have seen one! Cars in Ontario are so lame.
Hey, I once saw four Diablos cruising down King Street in Toronto once. Unless you mean Ontario, California, in which I'd probably concur.
At the show, since the Reventon was painted in a matte grey color, it really looked like it was made of plastic. I wasn't terribly impressed. I'd take the Aston DBS parked across the hall.
I don't like it. It's overdone to the point of looking cartoonish.
Those wheels remind me of my mom's "La Machine" food processor blades.
I mean Ontario, Canada and wow you're lucky to have seen something like that. But I'm not in the city of Toronto so that explains why the cars I see are lame, but even in Toronto they're not that much better.....
Aston Martin's used to look cool now I really think they all look the same. I guess you could say the same for Lamborghini, but the fact that they're usually in more visually arresting colors means that they look more exciting.
