The Lamborghini Reventón (Spanish pronunciation: Each car is stamped with its number in the sequence of 20 between the driver and passenger seats.
While the exterior is new,[3] almost all the mechanical elements, including the engine, are sourced directly from the Murciélago LP 640.[5] According to the official press release, the Reventón's exterior styling was inspired by "the fastest airplanes".[6]
Name
The car is named after a fighting bull, in line with Lamborghini tradition. The bull, raised by Don Heriberto Rodriguez, was best known for killing famed Mexican bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943.[7] Reventón means "small explosion" or "burst" in Spanish, when used as a noun.[8][9] In automotive terms, it means "blowout or flat tire" when used as a noun.[10] 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. In this last sense, reventón means "he who seems to be about to burst". Or, in the case of a flower (a carnation, un clavel reventón) in its maximum point, of luxuriance or a mouth (una boca reventona), for its beauty and fullness.[11]
