2007 Lamborghini Murcielago Reventon

Rumors are abounding that Lamborghini will unveil an open-top Roadster version of its ultra-exclusive Reventon supercar at next month’s Frankfurt Auto Show.

All across the Internet, Lamborghini fans are salivating at the thought of a  Reventon Roadster, with speculation rife that only nine or ten of the supercars will be built, each featuring a V-12 engine and a pricetag of €1.15 million ($1,639,993)–before taxes, naturally. The company itself has made no statement on the matter, but professional athletes and Russian mobsters might want to bring their checkbooks to Germany next month.

If built, the Roadster should feature the same V-12 engine as the original Reventon though output may be increased from the current 650 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque–expect to see the same 670 horsepower rating as the more recent Murcielago LP670-4 SV.

Other goodies include a permanent ‘Viscous Traction’ all-wheel-drive system and Lamborghini’s e-gear semi-automatic transmission. The original Reventon accelerates from 0-62 mph in just 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 211 mph, so a slightly more powerful Roadster may be able to surpass these times.

Whether Lamborghini unveils a new Reventon Roadster or not remains to be seen, but either way we should know in just a couple of weeks so stay tuned for an update.
