Rumormill: Lamborghini to unveil Reventón Roadster at Frankfurt show

Rumors of an open-air version of the exclusive Lamborghini Reventón have been circulating for months, with recent reports suggesting that the company has already shown a pre-production prototype to some of its best customers. Now sources suggest that the Raging Bull brand could be preparing to unveil the Reventón Roadster at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show, with only ten to be built, packing the more potent 670 horsepower engine from the SuperVeloce.

By slapping on some edgy body panels and glitzy instruments, Sant'Agata managed to bump the Murcielago's price up into seven-figure territory, and they could do it again by lopping off the Reventón's roof (or slapping said panels on the Murci Roadster, depending on how you look at it). But while they could very well unveil the car in Frankfurt, with the Balboni edition Gallardo yet to make its public debut, they may also opt to make good on their commitment of a new product at every major auto show and keep the Reventón Roadster under wraps until a later date.

I have some information about Reventon Roadster. Do not sure if it is 100% for sure, but still:

15 units all spoken for
SV engine with reworked exhaust system
Special Matte Silver paint
Special interior
Exterior is a little bit changed
Wheels with CF inserts
Official launch at Frankfurt auto show

I cannot say if this is absolutely sure information, but the guy who told me about it Lambo multi-owner and he told me about Reventon at least month before official launch at Frankfurt back in 2007.

Here is Auto Express article about Reventon Roadster:

Lamborghini Reventon Roadster
Raging bull to make Frankfurt special

Lamborghini is dropping the top on their awesome Reventon! According to our exclusive sources, the original car, which was limited to just 20 models, will lose its roof and go on sale for a cool 1.2 million Euros, or £1million when it hits our shores next year.

Production has already started on the roofless roadster, which will use the same engine from the Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce, delivering 653Nm of torque, and 20bhp more than the original coupé.

Although top brass at Sant'Agata said it was "just speculation" earlier this year, a recent VIP event was held at their factory for a pre-release unveiling of the mid-engined V12 convertible, and parts for the car are even being built right here in the UK!

Auto Express can exclusively confirm that the car will be officially unveilled at Frankfurt next month, but if you want to get one, you'll need to be quick, as the 670bhp Italian supercar will be limited to a maximum of 10 models.
