Lamborghini Reventon - Luxury Car

The Reventón is named for a fighting bull, in line with Lamborghini tradition. The bull, raised by Don Heriberto Rodríguez, was best known for killing famed Mexican bullfighter Felix Guzmán in 1943. Reventón means "small explosion" or "burst" in Spanish, when used as a noun. 

In the vernacular, it is also used to define a very large party or a night in town. In automotive terms, it means "blowout or flat tire" when used as a noun. 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.




A roadster version of the vehicle was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The car would use the engine from the Murciélago LP 670–4 Super Veloce. Autocar has since published a report, in June 2009, saying that potential buyers have been shown the car although a Lamborghini spokesman told the publication that reports of the car were "just speculation".[20] Production was set for a run of 15 units, with a MSRP of €1,100,000. 

The Reventón Roadster has a slightly lower top speed than the Reventón, its top speed is 205 mph and it takes just 3.3s to reach 62 mph. (wiki)

The Lykan HyperSport Car

The Lykan Hypersport is a limited production sports car by W Motors, a United Arab Emirates based company founded in 2012 with the collaboration of Syrian and Italian engineers. It is the first supercar to be produced in the Middle East, and is featured in the film Furious 7, and the video games Project CARS, Driveclub, Asphalt 8: Airborne, and GT Racing 2: The Real Car Experience. It is the first car to be designed and produced indigenously in the Arab World.

W Motors plans to produce only seven units of the car. The first pre-production Lykan HyperSport was launched at the Qatar Motor Show in February 2013.



The Lykan HyperSport is powered by a 3.7 litre (3746cc) twin-turbocharged Flat-six engine developed by RUF, producing 552 kW (740 bhp; 751 PS) and 960 N·m (708 lb·ft) of torque. The car is claimed to have a top speed of 385 km/h (239 mph) and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 2.8 seconds. However, these numbers have never been substantiated by road tests or reviews, nor is there video evidence of the vehicle achieving these performance claims. There are no known buyers of the Lykan HyperSport either.

In June 2015, the Abu Dhabi police force purchased a Lykan HyperSport. (wk)
