Top Gear: Hammond and Clarkson spend 1:41 with the Lamborghini Reventon

Watch as Hammond and Clarkson spent the least amount of time possible with the new Lamborghini Reventon, a car that we could spend hours, days, months or years with!

Inspired by the F22 Raptor fighter jet, the Lamborghini Reventon is powered by a 6.5 liter V12 engine that produces 640 horsepower. The Lamborghini Reventon goes from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of over 211 mph.

Oddly sexy with exceedingly average performance - for the money that is. You would think that for this chunk of change, the weight loss / performance improvement would have been more significant.

It's amazing how much bragging rights cost these days...

I tell you what. I think this is pretty hillarious. No doubt a good looking car but when they say it is designed after the F-22 I kind of have to laugh.

F-22 - First shot, First look, First Kill ...$200 million and 1700 mph. Contrary to popular belief, not designed for good looks but to do what it does best, winning wars.

Lamborghini Reventon - Designed to kill your wallet and yourself as you go from 0-212 to the Circle K all in the name of car you really don't need. 800,000 pounds? Thats the F-22's fuel burn in one flight.

Think 'Pebble Beach' 40 years from now. At some point, the current cars competing in concours like Pebble Beach and Villa D'Este will be superceded by more contemporary cars. This Lambo fits the bill.

I can't think of really any 1960's to 1990's car that, due to either rarity, style, speed, or beauty that could be considered - except for perhaps a Ferrari or two. Think about it.

Veyron - yes! Reventon - yes! Certain Bentley's, RR's, Porsches - yes!
