Any chance for some spy shots Steve?
Not necessarily the Reventon, anything will do!
Murci interior, Vanquish, Gallardo, 360 engine bay, etc.
that will cause extreme to squeeze and strangle his neck to chop stick's size..  |

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I dont think this reventon from extreme is going to happen. Im not hating on extreme because they do excellent work but their is only 20 of these cars in the world and I highly doubt someone is going to let them mold their reventon. Extreme has yet to even produce a LP640 kit or upgrade kit for their current murcie kit. Plus extreme hasnt formally annouced it here in the forum.
I believe that it can be done. The REVENTON is based off of the Murcielago LP 640. Cars' are designed from ideas and then brought to life. Why is it believed to be impossible to make a replica of the real thing without molds of the real thing, and get it dead on, or so close that it's impossible to tell them apart? If the fabricator takes their time and pay very close attention to detail. What's the difference between there producing a replica and the original creation process? |

Extreme have moulded off a real Murci! All that is needed is photos of the reventon and to scale the measurements. Given the fact Extreme have the Murci measurements in front of them it must be quite easy (and accurate) to scale a photo and work out the reventon extra/different parts. I would think you could get the kit within a few mm, and to frank who the jeepers would know any dadgum difference? Have you seen one or know someone with one? I'd bet a weeks wage $3:00 US that the answer is NO.........  |

I'd bet a weeks wage that the answer is NO......... Like most, I've only seen it in the media. So who can say it's not exact with confidence? Only about 20 people in the world, and what's the odds you running into one of them.  TTT |

Ok listen all, lets just say extreme does produce a reventon kit? How many people with original lamborghinis are going to re-body their lambo to put the kit on. ALL the pieces on a murcielago bolt off with no problem EXCEPT the front fenders and the quarter panels. They are glued on. Now to take them off you would have to cut them off($$$$ for labor). Then lets say someone does put the kit on their car and wants to go back to their original body parts to sell the car. They will have to take the reventon kit off the car($$$$time and labor costs), then have the original pieces bolted back onto the frame($$$time and labor costs), then replace the front fenders and quarter panels($30k just to buy the original oem parts), then have them glued back on precisely($$$$ time and labor costs), then body work, prep and paint($$$$ time, materials costs and of course labor). It's not impossible for them to produce the kit but may not be worth it! I dont know how they are not getting hounded my audi now but if they produce a kit that replicates audi's million dollar plus car they will be in deeeeeeeeep deeeeeeeep ish and VERY fast!

If I had a: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 Murcielago I would definitely convert it to a Reventon! It makes perfect sense you have a 2001 Murcielago that is soooo yesterdays news, what are you going to do? Trade it in for 100K and get an Lp640 or the next greatest super-car for a few hundred thousand? I would spend 30-40k rebody the car into a Reventon and be the talk of the town! Basically take something that you were getting rid of and making it look like a million bucks, literally! You will practically have the same thing as the genuine as well. In reality whats the difference between the Reventon Vs Murcielago other then the body? I would say that the performance will be practically the same, if any different. You are technically getting the same thing as real for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the cost! You cant even call it a kitcar cause it wont be fake. |

This is the reason why I did not say on this forum I will be doing a Reventon replica. People with millions of pounds in the bank do not care about spending a few hundred thousand pounds on a car. They are the same as many people on this forum. There is a car that they love but they cant have one no matter how much cash they have, well now they can, Do BMW go after people putting M3 kits on there 3 series BM. Before anyone asks it is not a kit they will be built cars. Price will be £100,000 on top of the genuine murci, wheels will be the same, the inside will also be done and yes the dash will be the same |

But now that the cat is out of the bag I and many on this forum would be very interested to see the 21st Reventon! I am hoping you throw us some bones to look at every once in a while! |

It is great news and I happen to know someone who could be in the market for Extreme's Reventon. The only matter to consider is the servicing/maintenance at the Lambo dealer for those not in the UK where Extreme might have connection with at least one. The local dealer will undoubtedly report this extra Reventon to Sant' agata and the concern is if they are instructed to refuse servicing it because of so..
