Lamborghini Nomenclature

The Reventón is named after a fighting bull in keeping with Lamborghini tradition. The bull, owned by the Don Rodríguez family, was best known for killing famed bullfighter Félix Guzmán in 1943. Reventón means "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 on the town. It's commonly said "vámonos de reventón", which means "let's go party tonight." In automotive terms, it means "blowout, flat tire" when used as a nounWhen 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".

Production status

The first car went to Lamborghini of Las Vegas in Nevada.
Car #3 was sold in an eBay auction and was delivered to a Californian buyer.

On 2008-11-20, Lamborghini announced the last Lamborghini Reventón was delivered to a British customer of the official Midlands dealer, Lamborghini Birmingham. However, CarsUK's later report disputed the official claim, and revealed that the car #20 was delivered to Houston Lamborghini in the United States.

One is in the hands of Karson Choi, descendent of Francis Choi (one of Hong Kong's Top 40 Wealthiest Man ranking currently 29 from Forbes magazine). He bought it from the original owner during the economic crisis at the price of 20 million HKD, roughly double the price offered by Lamborghini (about 10 million HKD). Two more Reventón were spotted in Australia where spy shots of the Reventón's were posted in local forums.
