Lamborghini released another top class car, Reventer Roadster that all-wheel-drive, V12-powered, 650-horsepower supercar with jet fighter-inspired styling.

This car will be on sale on October 2009 for $ 1.6 million and fewer than 20 of the cars will be built. Blazing from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds and on to 205 mph–just 6 mph shy of its Coupe counterpart–the Reventon Roadster is sure to inspire comparisons to aircraft not solely on the basis of its looks. The jet fighter-inspired exterior and interior styling is obvious, however, lending wedge-shaped forms, gaping intakes and a futuristic cockpit to the Reventon family. The roadster swaps all body panels for different segments of wing and tail sections of retired F-117s.

This is the monster that the car fans had been talking for the past months. Lamborghini goes sedan, can you imagine it? After being one of the best supercar builder for the past decades, finally Lamborghini knows that the sedan cars nowadays is the most used cars around the world. Even it is still a concept car, the production of the car can be expected to be started around early next year.

The name Estoque actually came from a special sword used by bullfighters. The characteristics of Lamborghini Estoque exactly like the other sedan cars with the four seats plus the trunks to store the luggage at the back. It is also from the old Lamborghini model that has the mid-engine while Estoque provide the engine at the front, exactly a sedan car.

After all the characteristics of sedan car are included in the Estoque, only one thing that is different, the engine. Even for a sedan car, Lamborgini had installed a 5.2 L V10 engine under a front hood of the car. A sedan car with this very big engine, what a shock! It said that this engine can provide 560 hp @ 8000 rpm and 398 lb.ft @ 6500 rpm. It used the four-wheel drive channeled with 6-speed automated manual transmission.

Take the step to the most interesting part, how far this Estoque performance with the characteristics of sedan car but the power of supercar. The top speed of this Lamborghini Estoque had been expected to be 190 mph with the acceleration 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds. Remember, this is a sedan car. This is not to be confirmed but we can expect that this could be one of the popular supercar in year 2009.

Just take a look at a snapshot of the car. The official full car pictures has yet to be released.
