The real model: a technical feat inspired by aviation
The Lamborghini Reventón Roadster was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009, two years after the coupe version. Designed as the convertible version of the Reventón, it fully adopts the angular and futuristic design inspired by stealth fighter jets, notably the F-22 Raptor. This supercar embodies the perfect alliance between Italian automotive art and military aeronautical technology.
Technically, the Reventón Roadster developed 650 horsepower from its 6.5-liter V12 engine, identical to that of the Murciélago LP640. Capable of reaching 330 km/h and completing 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, it represented the pinnacle of Lamborghini technology. Its carbon fiber body and sculpted lines made it a rolling work of art.
The commercial success was immediate despite its stratospheric price of 1.1 million euros. The 20 units produced were sold before production even ended, confirming the collectors' allure for absolute exclusivity.
Lamborghini in 2009: innovation in the service of exclusivity
In 2009, Lamborghini was going through a pivotal period under Audi, which had acquired the brand in 1998. The Sant'Agata Bolognese company was exploring new creative avenues, seeking to push the limits of automotive design while preserving its DNA as a manufacturer of extreme supercars.
Founded in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini, the brand with the bull had established itself as the rebellious alternative to Ferrari. Born from its creator's frustration with Ferrari's after-sales service, Lamborghini set out to create perfect GTs, combining luxury, performance, and reliability. Legendary models like the Miura, Countach, or Diablo forged its reputation as a pioneer in revolutionary design.
The anecdote of the mysterious collector
One of the most fascinating stories surrounding the Reventón Roadster involves an anonymous European collector who reportedly acquired three of the twenty units produced. According to persistent rumors in the supercar community, this knowledgeable enthusiast already owned several exceptional Lamborghinis and sought to build a complete collection of the rarest models of the brand.
What makes this anecdote particularly delightful is that this mysterious collector supposedly never drove his three Reventóns. Kept in an air-conditioned garage somewhere in Switzerland, they would have never exceeded 50 kilometers on the odometer. An approach that perfectly illustrates the philosophy of certain collectors, for whom possession takes precedence over use.
This story also reflects the evolution of the supercar market in the early 2000s, where automotive investment became a distinct asset class. The Reventón, with its extreme exclusivity, perfectly embodied this new trend where rarity instantly created heritage value.
Today, the rare Reventón Roadsters that change hands fetch prices far exceeding their original value, confirming the vision of these pioneering collectors who recognized the potential of this exceptional model very early on.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
