Lamborghini Reventon

[HellasVagabond]

Lamborghinis latest car is really awesome...And looks a lot like a JET !!!!
Powered by a 6.5-litre V12 with 471kW of power and 660Nm of torque it accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds using an all-wheel-drive system.

Watch the video bellow :)

Uhh Translation into hp and lb-feet of torque would be nice

631hp
487 lb-ft

the design is nice. a good mix between the smooth and strong murcielago and the edgy and technical Gallardo. Just the Headlights are a bit ferarri-ish.

[HellasVagabond]

645 Hp
487 Ft.lbs

Top Speed Only 211mph...... :(

[AphexDreamer]

That car is the shit, but I still would perfer an Enzo Ferrari.

[jurrasstoil]

Top Speed Only 211mph...... :(Where, besides a top speed racing ring, are you able to drive even 180mph?

[AphexDreamer]

Where, besides a top speed racing ring, are you able to drive even 180mph?

Where in the world are most people gonna be able to find the money to buy that car, to then ask the question you just asked?

[HellasVagabond]

Nowhere but its nice to see that a car which is worth almost 1.5Million is fast as the others that worth the same out there.

Believe it or not, but there are a lot of people in this world that can afford one with ease.

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

waste of money .... id twin turbo a normal lambo with two trust t78 turbos ...

[jurrasstoil]

Nowhere but its nice to see that a car which is worth almost 1.5Million is fast as the others that worth the same out there.Which car is faster than 221mph?

[AphexDreamer]

Believe it or not, but there are a lot of people in this world that can afford one with ease.

Wow really, I must be poor then.:cry:

[kwchang007]

Which car is faster than 221mph?

Err Bugatti Veyron....just to name one. How about a Mclearn F1?

[HellasVagabond]

Mercedes SLR, Bugatti Veyron , Ferrari Enzo , Viper Venom SRT and many more

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

Which car is faster than 221mph?

brabus C class, Lingenfelter vette ... lots more

[kwchang007]

_FBi;464159']waste of money .... id twin turbo a normal lambo with two trust t78 turbos ...

Pshtt....I'd take a Dodge Viper or Corvette Z06...get new cams, new spark plugs, get a better intake/exhust, then triple turbo it...of course probably means I'd need another radiator...oh and throw in an intercooler. Now....someone explain to me what I just said....cause all I know is more turbos increases air (well don't need to explain the turbos), but why do new cams and an intercooler boost hp? I'm pretty noobish when it comes to cars...next school break my goal is to learn enough to tune a car.

[jurrasstoil]

Err Bugatti Veyron....just to name one. How about a Mclearn F1?Great examples. every 10.000km you need a new gearbox for both of them.

[kwchang007]

Who cares....if you can afford it, you can afford the gearboxes. It's like saying....well I'm going to buy a Z06....but where am I going to get the money for gas and insurance?

well ...a turbo is like ... check howstuff works .. what it does is use teh wasted exhuast energy to ram more air into teh car ... you'd need an intercooler ... u wouldnt necessarly need new camscolder plugs and different exhaust would eb needed, uprate the radiator. my idea of teh ideal car is a 335i or an Evo or a Sc300 or an M3 ...

Yeahh understand the reasoning behind a turbo cause the exhust spins a fan thingy which spins a compressor....sorta something like that. Why would you need the intercooler though?

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

because of the gas law, compressing air makes it hotter .. plus a little leakage from the hot side of the turbo

[kwchang007]

Ohh and I'm guessing it's a good thing to keep the air going into the engine cool?

[rhythmeister]

I severely doubt that the greatest road going vehicle ever created has a gearbox that weak :slap:

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

yeah larger the difference in temperature of the air goin in and coming out ... greater amount of power being made ...

Shame they'll not go round corners! I remember the viper looking like it had broken down when pitted against the truely mighty TVR Speed 12 in the british GT races a few years back :respect:

i doubt teh mclaren does ... it doesnt have a torquey engine, doubt it breaks boxes ...

Uhhh damn you've got a point. But I hear that the '08 z06 actually has better handling/shifting than the '07. Also I think the '08 viper gets the boost to 600 hp and a better limited slip diff.

[HellasVagabond]

I remember reading in several magasins that american cars in generall havent got the best brakes nor can they take corners like other cars.

[rhythmeister]

_FBi;464221']i doubt teh mclaren does ... it doesnt have a torquey engine, doubt it breaks boxes ...

Well, the Veyron WAS designed and created to be the best damn road going vehicle ever seen and I think I remember Jeremy Clarkson praising the british built gearbox...or maybe I dreamt that :confused:

Yr sports cars DO seem to be getting improved suspension these days but a limited slip diff' isn't gonna shed that truck load of weight which makes the car want to go straight when it's being steered a direction other than forwards!

Cornors....go to Porsche...a fast car for relatively cheap....look no farther than the 'vette.

[rhythmeister]

The problem's the sheer mass in the american cars, BIG engines weigh a LOT and massive torque needs a VERY strong chassis which pretty much has to be made from metal :laugh:

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

Z06 is a lot lighter than ppl think .. and the Z06 is one of teh greatst showroom stock racers on the macket now .. best value for money ...

Torque is a good thing my friend

Yeah....but it helps..which is the idea. Anyways...American cars don't stick to the road...they just drift through turns...watch the top gear episode with jermy clarkson and the z06. He drifts like a mad man...and anyways, it did quite well...I believe it beat the porsche...carrerra or the boxster..one of those two.

[lemonadesoda]

WOW That is a very nice car. Actually, after LOVING the McLaren F1 and LM1 for the last 5 years, I think THIS BEAST might be a contender.

>> WHY? Is it faster? NO

>> WHY? Does it look better? NO

>> WHY? Because you can install cannons, machine guns and heat seeking rockets launchers in those side wings. Muhahaha.

Step this way, Giacomo Bondi!

[xnox202]

It looks like a Modified Gallardo from NFS: Carbon with extra features. No kid, probarbly they got the looks inspired from there? :laugh:
