Lamborghini Reventon Takes On A Tornado

 

 

26th November, 2007

Lamborghini Reventon vs Tornado A200-A

The Ghedi (Brescia) military airport in Italy was the setting this week for an extraordinary acceleration race between a Tornado aircraft [A200-A] provided by the airbase and the Lamborghini Reventón driven by a Lamborghini test driver.

The fighter pilot and the Lamborghini test driver challenged each other on the 3,000 metre long runway.

The Reventón took the lead in the first leg of the race, but the Tornado caught up in the last few metres, taking off and flying over the Reventón that was going at a speed of over 340 km/h.

The Ghedi military base was chosen as the venue at which to present the Lamborghini super car in this unique challenge. The ideal environment in which to emphasise the Reventón’s aeronautic styling, the airbase was made available to Lamborghini by General Carlo Landi of the Fifth Department of the Stato Maggiore dell A.M, and Colonel Aurelio of the Sixth Formation.

The Reventón’s design – entirely designed by the Centro Stile Lamborghini and perfected down to the finest detail in close collaboration with Lamborghini’s R and D management - drew its inspiration from the world’s fastest aircraft in modern aviation. It is from this heritage that the Reventón has drawn its extremely precise, technically impressive style with sharp edges, exact lines and clean surfaces, along with its exclusive new matte grey-green exterior colour.

There are only 20 Reventón cars available, each with a price tag of 1 million euros plus taxes. All are already sold and will be built and delivered in 2008.

The Lamborghini Reventón, presented to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, is destined to become a new legend in the fascinating history of the House of the Raging Bull.
