The Riyadh Car Show Auction 2019 - 22nd November 2019

The Riyadh Car Show Auction 2019 86 Friday 22nd November 2019 Chassis Number: ZHWBA77538LA03436 Limited production number, exclusive and collectable supercar. • Number six of just 20 exclusive examples sold between 2007 – 2009 • Sought after, rare and highly collectable, examples seldom come to market • Very low use, indicating just 3,000km at the time of cataloguing • Carbon fibre body finished in Grigio Reventon with a Nero and Verde Oliva interior Manfred Fitzgerald, Lamborghini’s Director of Brand and Design at the time, apparently made a number of visits to the NATO base at Ghedi and is believed to have used the Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor as the Reventon’s inspiration. It’s fairly clear to see, given everything from the gaping front air intakes, the vastly reclined cock-pit style bucket seats and the wing-like scissor doors, that this Lamborghini’s design couldn’t be moulded on anything else. The Reventon was the company’s first real limited- production halo car created to give the world a glimpse of the brand’s next production car which, in this case, was the dramatic Aventador in 2011. Lamborghini produced just 20 customer Reventons (and one for its museum), 10 of which were destined for the United States. As well as representing the F-22 Raptor visually, the car’s pace isn’t far behind, with Lamborghini’s raucous V12, 6,496cc engine, pushing out 650bhp, combined with a six- speed, single-clutch, paddle shift mechanical transmission. Lamborghini also decided to opt for front and rear independent suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers, co-axial coil springs as well as four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, utilising ABS. This astonishing package means that the Reventon propels its occupants from 0-62mph in a Raptor-rivalling 3.4 seconds. The bodywork is entirely carbon fibre and has some aerodynamic pieces, such as the subtle canards, leading to a 10% reduction in the drag coefficient as well as notable increases in both front and rear end downforce at high speeds. From the seat of this left-hand-drive model, the driver can observe the TFT liquid crystal screens, displaying the digital circular tachometer dials, representing those of a fighter jet. On the armrest between the seats, you’ll find a plaque with ‘6/20’ stamped on it, indicating that this car is number six of the Reventon’s 20-car production run. Just like its 19 siblings, this example is finished in a special Grigio Reventon (opaque grey) exterior with Nero (black) and Verde Oliva (olive green) interior. 2009 Lamborghini Reventon No. 6/20 LOT 140 More Images Lot 140 Bid On Lot 140
