They should have tried it with a Reventon (ahem Rebenton).

i don't think the extra goodies will make a marginal difference in terms of the top speed or bag.

looking forward to a similar run from the Veyron though.

send an email and request the driver to do tat on his veyron :P

Didn't the Re"b"enton have more horsies (or should that be bulls) than the "normal" LP640? Not to mention generous use of carbon fibre and those crazy stealth inspired design may help aerodynamics?

Anyway, Lambo is coming up with yet another Murcielago derivative. A focused, lightweight (more carbon fibre), rear wheel drive only Murcielago apparently called the Murcielago SV. Hmmm...so a lightweight Ga"y"ardo is called Superleggera but a lightweight Murcielago is called SV, heh.

Anyway, that would probably be even faster.

the camera guy spoils the attempt. Maybe they could get to 220mph if he wasnt in the car

Anyway, which highway is that ?

 

[infernaL]

same drivetrain and engine according to SUPERCARS.NET - Comprehensive Specifications, Galleries & Forums since 1996

but i dont think all the front design could make much of a difference in terms of slipperiness. but then lets just wait for some lucky owner to try it.

A bit of googling gave me different information. Some say power is up by 20hp (660bhp then) from the normal LP640. Some say its 650hp.

Lambo's official site doesn't seem to list the Reventon. Maybe because it is sold out already.
