Lamborghini revealed its hottest new ride, the Reventon, at the Frankfurt Auto Show. Only 20 were built and have already been bought, so if you’re hoping to snag one, you’re out of luck! “The virtual needle on that virtual speedometer moves from the number 0 to the number 62 in a scant 3.4 seconds and doesn’t stop moving until it hits the number 211,” AutoCar blog reported. “Is the Reventon excessive? Yes, in every way. And if we had a million bucks to lay down on a car, we’d be looking to snag one, too.”  Climbing in through the scissor doors reveals a cockpit awash in every expensive material imaginable -- leather, carbon fiber, Alcantara, etc. -- and highlighted by a digital multifuntion display in lieu of analog instrumentation. A modern, road-shaped readout on the left displays speed and engine revs. To its right, the driver looks at an airplane-style g-meter. If the Reventon's pilot is more comfortable with instrumentation that doesn't look like it could be used to assault the Death Star, he can switch the display to a traditional mode that features round gauges.
