2008 Lamborghini Reventon

800px-Lamborghini_Revent.jpg

Lamborghini revealed its new Reventon supercar at the Frankfurt auto show earlier this year and just last week debuted the Reventon in the U.S. at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Based on the Murciélago sports car, the Reventon is said to be inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter jet.

Recent reports indicate the car will cost nearly $1.6 million — significantly above the Murciélago $300,000 MSRP. In fact, anyone who wants the car has been asked to put down a deposit of nearly that amount.

The Reventón delivers 650 horsepower and 487 pound feet of torque. Lamborghini will only build 20 Reventons, with all being spoken for. 11 of the 20 cars will be U.S.-bound.

Speculation about the super Lambo first surfaced on the Ferrari Chat online discussion forums after future owners reported putting deposits on the cars.

MAZDA NAGARE

Mazda’s current design philosophy is moving in decidedly Zen-like circles. Like a child throwing pebbles into a mirror-still pool of water, the Japanese brand cast the diametrically different Sassou, Senku and Kauri concepts far out into the design community in 2005/6 and waited to see which way the ripples would take them.

Volkswagen

The Iroc is a show car preview of a production coupe to be launched next year that will fill a gap in the Volkswagen model line up left by the demise of the Corrado 11 years ago. Volkswagen describe the Iroc as "transferring the globally successful Scirocco idea into the future" - the Scirocco Mk1 by Giugiaro being produced from 1974-1982, the Mk2 from 1982-1992. Like the Scirocco, the Iroc is a front wheel drive coupe with four seats - as opposed to the 2+2 seating arrangement of the only other sports coupe from Volkswagen Group: the Audi TT.

Audi has unveiled the new R8 supercar, closely based on the Le Mans concept that was shown three years ago in Frankfurt. The two-seat car uses a shortened version of the Lamborghini Gallardo platform, and is powered by a 4.2-liter V8 using FSI technology first introduced by the A2.

Like the now-obsolete small car the R8 is also constructed of an aluminum space-frame, keeping weight down to 1360kg. This combines with 420PS to give a 0-60 time of 4.6s. Sales start early next year priced from US$132,000. Key dimensions are: length 4431mm, width 1904mm, height 1249mm.
