Its going to be a fundraiser for Lamborghini's next product:

The TT-based Piccolo. Thats right, you know you want one...

(kidding!)

Wouldn't it be funny if the next car used this car for it's styling? All that exclusivity gone...

And can they develop a car with $20 million? That's probably what they made off the entire run if you take out build and development costs.

The $20 million will come in handy. As of this point, Lamborghini doesn't exactly have unlimited funds, even with Gallardo profit. As for styling, it'll more than likely be inspired by a fighter jet, but I doubt it will take on the extreme similarities of the exterior.

They need to bore out the V12, hire a stylist and update the chassis and they have a Murcielago successor. That could be done even with only $20 million. Besides, the absurd amount of sales the Gallardo has been getting will easily help pay for the next big Lambo, as will Audi's incredibly deep pockets. And for that matter, nearly all of this cars development was done 7 years ago, so I doubt they will only get a million profit on each car.

I'm not so sure about Audi. They may spend some, but Lamborghini has expressed that they would like to start making their own equipment instead of using Audi products on the car.

Being so, I believe this is the 2nd to last Murcielago we will see. There's the reports about the "Super Veloce" Murcielago, and this being expected to be released so close to 2010, it may very well be the last major model. The replacement is due in 2011-2012 to follow the traditional and coincidental 10 year run of their models.

Super Veloce being the one also rumored as Superleggera?
 
Is This The One They Thought Was Testing At Burburg With The Large Rear Wing?

It won't be the Superleggera, and Super Veloce looks to be likely. Winkelmann denied Superleggera rumours and hinted at a return of the SV.

No. That would be the "Super Veloce".

I know this is an old quote, but I missed it the first time around.

20 Million is not close to sufficient to develop a new car. For instance, Lotus blew 100,000,000$ on the Project M250, which was using an existing chassis as well. That car didn't even make production.

Your estimates of chassis development and other research are far off.

Most of which was probably blown on the V6 and aerodynamics development. I was being semi-sarcastic anyways.
 
After finally seeing this car on Top Gear, I must say it looks even better then I thought it did. And that interior gauge cluster that can be switched to jet fighter mode is just awesome!

Also I wasn't aware you pronounced it Rebention and not Reventón.

In Spanish or whatever language that is, aren't those pretty much the same plus or minus a British accent?

And going to see the episode now...
 
Well I would pronounce the car:

Re-vent-on and they were pronouncing it Re-bent-on. But ya different languages always trip me up.
