New car? Try a Reventon
p2pnet news | Off Topic:- You know that new car you were thinking of buying?
You might want to check out a new set of Italian wheels called the Reventon.
Named for the bull that killed toreador Felix Guzman in 1943, it’s powered by a V12 and its carbon fiber bodywork is all-new and aeronautically inspired, which explains, “the pointed beak up front that’s flanked by a pair of gaping intakes that swallow air in gulps to cool the brakes,” observes autoblog, going on:
“Given the look of the car, you could probably tell people they’re feeding a Pratt & Whitney mounded aft of the passenger compartment and they’d believe you as long as you kept a straight face. In fact, the expected handbuilt V12 resides in that spot, proudly displayed under angled & vented glass panels that look like reptile scales from above.”
Like it?
Sorry. The Reventon, one of only 20 built, is slated to be displayed at the Frankfurt motor show.
But all 20 have already been sold.
How much?
A trifling $1,387,880, or so.
For the whole lot?
Nope. For just one.
The fact it’s made by Lamborghini explains the price tag.

looks nice but these days for that money you expect a W12(2x V6) not a V12

What about servicing on a limited model? i’m sure that will cost a pretty penny as well

I see everything in cars as “number of beater cars I can get for the same price.” So when I see a car with a one million dollar price tag, I automatically go, “let’s see, I could buy myself 2,000 $500 beaters for the price of this one car!”
Now the trick is to find a way to combine the power of the 2,000 low-displacement four-bangers I just bought, half of which don’t even have EFI, and make them into one supercar that whips the one pictured. It’s a work in progress.
(end automotive silliness)
But seriously, I’ll take a 1981 Toyota Starlet over a 2007 whatthefuckeverthatis anyday, unless the WTFETI is free, in which case I’ll resell it and THEN get the Starlet. Or not…
Never mind. What does this have to do with P2P again? Oh, the car’s ECM has BitTorrent? Ohhhhhhhh, gotcha. ^_^
