No peepers were supposed to gaze upon the Reventon you see here until the
Frankfurt Show next week, but here it is, in all its roofless glory. The Ł1m-plus Roadster will be made just 20 times before Lambo closes the order book for good, so if you've got that sort of dosh we'd suggest this is a canny little investment.
Or you could drive it (imagine that?), in which case you'll be chewing on your underpants thanks to the combination of 6.5-litres of V12 producing 641bhp and 487lb.ft of torque, all encased in a carbon fibre shell with a massive hole in the top. If that doesn't scare you, consider taking up skydiving or joining a French Formula One team. This thing will hit 62mph in 3.4 seconds and 211mph.
As you should know by now, we'll be at Frankfurt, so we'll report back with some show stand pictures of the Reventon - assuming we can drag Kyle away from VW's van stand, that is.
