Explain to me the Reventon
I can just see Lambo laughing as people actually pay for this thing. Yep we got em. Great marketing job fellas. At least Bugatti and McLaren did it by engineering brilliance.

very limited production car
Collectors car for sure, and in some years time they will be even more expensive!!!
and of course, total exclusivity....
If I had the money(because I already have the passion), no doubt I would jump into it!!
An Ferrari Enzo would have been a great invest....Buy that car when it was launched, keep it in garage with no driving at all, and then selling it with no mileage done at all....And that is at least 300.000 Euro you have of benefit in only 3-4years.
Correct me if I'm wrong !!

If you have passion (and the money) then why wouldn't you drive it instead of keeping it no mileage garagequeen with dust all over it...
If you had the money and passion you wouldn't care about any benefits? would you?
...at least I wouldnt

Yeah that's the trick of scarcity. Every marketer knows that old trick and that's all it is. Creating scarcity is what every used car salesman does. It's either going to become a great collectors car like the Bugatti or McLaren or it will be the biggest depreciating car in history. My guess is the latter.

I clearly am not getting it. How does a car manufacturure rebody a car and add 10 hp and then charge another 1 million dollars for it? I could almost see if it had 750hp and weighed a 1000Lbs less than a Murci but this is just rediculous. Why would anyone pay for this? How on earth did they even come up with this price. I would have said it was too much at 550K much less 1.4. If we look at past previous million dollar plus cars like the Bugatti or the F1 they clearly had something special that was unlike any other car in the past. The Reventon is not only not better than other cars in it's category but it's just a redo of a very good sportscar not even a supercar.

I think one thing that everyone forgets is that this would cost Lambo millions to build too. One off body design, one off wheels, one off interior etc. Now given that it is amortised over 10 or 20 cars...

exactly! the head lights, tail lights, bumpers, body and instrument cluster etc.. are all develloped for 20 cars only. these things are very expensive to manufacture. since i work in the plastic industry i can assure you that only to produce the head lights, an investment of 500k euro is needed in moulds. along with the development cost if you add the marketing cost , i am sure there is no profit left from the 20 presold cars.
one of the 20 guys that got a reventon is a very good friend of mine, he sold it with 400k euro profit to a swedish guy..
if i had the money i would buy it without the blink of an eye. its a ufo on wheels
