Charles Report post Posted March 7, 2013 Reventon had 10 more compared to the LP640 while the Reventon Roadster used the SV engine and possibly it's exhaust setup. The Veneno had a 60 hp boost which is equivalent to the jump from the 6.2 Murcielago to the LP640 plus some hardcore aero features AND weight drop.

DrVertigo Report post Posted March 7, 2013 IIRC the Reventon and Reventon roadster had horsepower increases as well. From what I remember the coupe had 20 additional hp and the roadster had 30 more (roadster came out 2 years after coupe and utilized SV engine/tuning upgrades). They just used blueprinted engines, nothing mechanical was changed for those cars as far as I know, beyond cosmetics like the dash and lights.

simpen Report post Posted March 7, 2013 I visited the factory when the Reventon was produced, they used standard engines. Every engine makes a different amount of HP due to small manufacturing/material defects, the ones tested and rated a little higher than usual were set apart to be put in Reventons, but it was the same unit.

lambornima Report post Posted March 7, 2013 Bad take. The Revolting was a pure rebody, with no significant improvements to any part of the base LP640's performance envelope. The Veneno on the other hand is hundreds of pounds lighter, has vast aero improvements versus the base LP700, and a recalibrated suspension designed to take advantage of both. It will be faster in every metric, every lap time, or really anything a stop watch can be put to versus anything else Lambo has ever made, or WILL make over the next decade (yup, even faster than the mythical and several-years-away Aventador SV). It's easy to dismiss this as the Revolting 2.0 on the surface, but that is simply not the case factually. There's another thing that's faster too....your heart rate when you see the thing! I'm STILL shocked when I look at the pics! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercar Ace Report post Posted March 7, 2013 For everyone complaining about the "re-bodied" issue... Cars like Reventon and Veneno are styling design exercises. They are designed to as "art pieces" intended to show what a company is capable of. In the case of the Reventon, the purpose was to show where the company may go styling wise (example the Aventador takes many ques from the car). That's why they do a limited number, high prices model: You're paying for a very limited design. The performance is the main focus, the focus is the showcasing the art of the design. Lamborghini doesn't care about the broad appeal or performance boost, they are making limited edition art cars which they use the funds from to cover the R&D costs to invest in their main models...that's the point of a car such as these. From a business standpoint they are a great idea, and from an enthusiasts stand point they fantastic because it's the company doing something so far outside it's norm. Saying "it's just re-bodied" is missing the point...the point is the exterior design is the focus and that's what you're paying for: A limited design piece. It great seeing what a company can do, and with cars like the Reventon and Veneno not only inspiring imagination but also helping to pay for the cost of making the Aventador great and up-coming Gallardo replacement (which according to my source at Lambo will "Leave the 458 Italia in the dust"), I am not only in full support of this but I can't wait to see what insanity they dream up next My 2 cents Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
