The legendary Lamborghini Revénton Roadster crosses the auction block.
Curating collections and exhibitions of rare and prestigious collector cars for a calendar year of auction events worldwide, RM Sotheby’s has established its reputation as one of the best in the business with continued success. While sourcing and conducting the sales of eight- and nine-figure cars has become part of its everyday duties, some truly exceptional examples still stun even the most seasoned professionals. The Lamborghini Revénton categorizes itself as one of those cars with an ultra-limited production and the fact that they only occasionally exchange ownership publicly in an auction setting. The team at RM Sotheby’s is proud to add to that short list by announcing the recent sale of a 2010 Lamborghini Revénton Roadster.
Presented as part of its Milan auction last week, the fighter jet-inspired Lamborghini sold to the highest bidder in the room for €1,580,000 ($1,789,030.) With only 15 ever built ,five fewer than the coupé, it’s one of the rarest Lamborghinis ever made. Under its sharp and stealthy body lies a naturally-aspirated 6.5L V12 borrowed from the Murciélago LP670-4 SV, producing 660 horsepower and verified by a signed engine certificate from top Lamborghini executives. Paired with an E-Gear transmission and all-wheel drive, it sprints from 0-60mph in just 3.4 seconds while topping out at 205mph.
Finished in matte Grigio Reventón and trimmed in aircraft-inspired Grey Alcantara, the Roadster’s design takes inspiration from the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. The cockpit features three TFT displays that mimic a jet fighter’s head-up display as a nod to aviation aesthetic. This specific example, delivered to Switzerland in 2010 and later registered in Germany, has seen just 4,102 kilometers, making it a piece of Lamborghini’s most exclusive chapter. Service stamps show careful ownership, with documented maintenance visits and a chassis-specific engine certificate to back it all up.
Accompanied by its original Lamborghini flight case and even a military-style shoulder bag, this car is a piece of design history that still looks like it’s from the future. With a legacy that continues to shape Lamborghini’s current lineup, this Revénton Roadster is off to its new home to continue its ongoing legacy.
