    The Recession-mobile is Coming! (Possibly)

    Lamborghini planning Reventon Roadster?

    Same engine as the 670hp LP670-4, 20 more hp than the hardtop.
    Price? A cool $1.6-2 million.

    Who cares about recession.

    I guess the reason behind axing the Estoque is that it wasn't expensive enough.

    No Estoque? That's too bad.

    I'm honestly not sure if I'd rather have a Reventon coupe or a Veyron coupe, but I'd much rather have a Veyron Grand Sport than this. I don't know why.

    I've read that they're still thinking about it, no definite decision yet.

    Maybe you want the Veyron because it has more power and speed.

    Honestly, I'd prefer the reventon roadster than the grand sport
    Nothing to say...

    Well, you can take your pick, I read somewhere that more than 10 of the 20 Reventons produced are for sale...(speculation anyone?, even with the Tata Nano buyers now have to sign a statement that they are not going to sell on the car in the near future...)

    Why would anyone want a Veyron at all is beyond me.

    uhhhh, because it's a fantastic achievement of engineering and speed?

    Sorry, but I find the Veyron Hating a bit old these days. Just my 0.02c Australian.

    As for the Reventon Roadster....Anything that can get you closer to that glorious noise cannot possibly be a bad thing.
