Lamborghini Reventon

Lamborghini Reventon 


Lamborghini, the company that is known for creating sports cars and producing absolutely great cars, yet again has created a new masterpiece. They call this masterpiece theLamborghini Reventon, a new breed of Lamborghini supercars.
The Reventon is a car that has extreme characteristics that production is limited. The specifications of the car has taken its base from the MurciƩlago LP640, a classic supercar, and improved on its characteristics and designs. Its manufacturer made only 20 pieces of this car which sold at 1 million euro each (tax free).

Exterior & Interior

The Lamborghini Reventon is designed and created at Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy which is the birthplace of Lamborghini cars. It was developed at Lamborghini Research and Development by the company’s car experts and people from Centro Stile. The made sure that in creating the Reventon that it will be a super class car that has no equals.
There are many features that make the Lamborghini Reventon stand out. One of those is the improvement on this supercar. The front of the car was specifically designed as an acute angled arrow to improve its intake of air which easily cools down the 12 cylinder calipers and carbon disks brakes while accelerating. This design also improves its aerodynamics and interior cooling system which is one of the great things about the car.

Key
Another key feature of the Reventon is its lighting system. The front of the car is accessorized with the newest light-emitting diodes and Bi-Xenon headlights. In back of the car, 7 LED lights are placed and 10 diodes that serves as hazard lights and indicator. This light system accessories ensures uninterrupted daylights and long continuous time of usage.
Also, the car lights are created to have an extra optical arrow effects, so that the driver will enjoy seeing the road where he is driving. Moreover, all of those lights are heatproof which prolong light system’s life span.

The cockpit of the Reventon is also proven to be so evolutional. The interior of the car is made of leather, aluminum, carbon, and Alcantara that are carefully selected to ensure the top of its quality. It also has an easy-to-use touch buttons that will instantly change the information display mode of the vehicle. Another thing that is noteworthy in its interior is the G-Force meter, which amazingly displays the cars acceleration, dynamic drive force, and breaking, in a 3-dimensional viewing, just like in aeronautics.

Performance

Another great thing about Lamborghini Reventon is the acceleration features that are embedded to it. From the classic MurciƩlago LP640, Lamborghini Reventon also takes the 12 cylinders engine which is a guaranteed high class machine. This gives the car a maximum speed of 340 kilometer/hour and a starting acceleration which could get 100 kilometers/hour in just 3.4 seconds. This ensures that no ordinary car can out speed this type of Lamborghini supercar.
Lamborghini Reventon supercar is a truly revolutionary. Sadly, there are only 20 of them, and their owners surely are not giving them away at any time soon.

2013 Lexus GS450h


It’s not often that you would pay additional money for a several, just to obtain a performance advantages over the conventional gas version of the same car. The frequent factors for going the several direction are better utilization and less contaminants, and the GS improves on the gas-fueled design in both those places, with a combined EPA utilization position of 31 MPG, and a “Super Ultra Low Vehicle” position of Level 2 Bin 4 from the Feds who quality it “8” on a variety of “10” with regards to “Fuel Economy and Greenhouse Gas Ranking.” But here is a distressing little key about the  that the Feds do not amount or discuss about: it’s much faster with regards to immediately line boosting than any other GS. The reason is that the several products the GS’ primary 3.5 liter V6 (306hp, 277 lb.-ft. of torque) with an engine device good for 147 kW of result, first and major, an included 202 lb.-ft. of rotating.



Where the conventional GS is a mild-mannered vehicle, the several version gives you such a exclusive hit up the back that the 450h is in a different performance team all together. If you beautify it with the suggested $5,205 “Luxury Package, you will get a manager of advantages such as versatile front part side lighting (i.e., switching LED headlights), and handwear protect set smooth, semi-aniline inner cut. From a generating perspective, the High-class program results in 18 inches wide steel wheels shod with Dunlop 235/45R18 SP Activity 5100 wheels, a exclusive handling upgrade from the conventional problem 17 inches wide components with 225/50R17 plastic.



The inner of the new GS is palatial. The heated and air designed front part side seats, thanks to the High-class System upgrade, are 18 way versatile, with a variety from protected hard to full downturn over, and storage options to sustain suggested tasks. The heated rim is a particularly awesome work of art, with pierced set owners at the 9 and 12 o’clock tasks, allocated with places of smooth completed light ash wooden that meets identical locations on the entrance places, sign pipe and sprint. The the big rest can be secured with a operated going sun prevent and both back gateways function information relaxation shades.

2012 Acura MDX review notes



I was impressed with the six-cylinder engine. It didn’t strike me until I merged a few lanes over and jabbed the throttle, producing a pleasing sound and decent acceleration as I trailed in the wake of a Chevy Camaro convertible. I played with the paddles a bit, too. They were fun, amusing for a good-sized crossover, but not exactly Formula One-inspired. They’re just something to spice up the drive into work and summon the revs a bit more purposefully on the expressway.
The cabin of the MDX is impressive in appearance and execution. This sampler came in stately black inside, and the steering wheel and door panels were smart. The atmosphere was quiet and serene, with just a bit of wind and exterior noise getting in. The negative? I’m not a fan of the center stack, which has way too many buttons and is confusing. It’s hard to get used to in a short period and not easy to operate at a glance. MIT-inspired controls are not my preference at expressway speeds.
I may be the only journalist in America who actually likes the big, bold grille. Perhaps that’s because I like 1940s and ’50s trains, and that’s what the front end of this crossover looks like to me. The side panels are clean and crisp, and with the big wheels, it cuts an impressive silhouette. It’s decent crossover.
ASSOCIATE EDITOR DAVID ARNOUTS: Despite having the controversial “power plenum” Acura beak/grille, the exterior of this SUV looks more buttoned together and blended into a cohesive element than the last MDX we had in here.
Inside the ute, things are congruent with the exterior appearance. The LED lighting illuminates the black interior nicely without showing too many flaws, as abundant light tends to do. I was surprised it had three rows of seating. I would think Acura might be better off selling it as two rows with ample storage space than trying to kid people about being able to haul six or seven people. I suppose you could if they were small enough though.
As Greg pointed out, the center stack is a bit overwhelming and isn’t something you can jump right into unless you are familiar with the Acura brand. There are too many buttons in places you wouldn’t expect them.
Power was decent and provided more than enough to handle the daily commute with a mix of highway and city driving. The all-wheel drive is not a noticeable feature but would be a great thing to have when the snow flies here in Michigan.
This, like many other SUVs and crossovers, has a sport mode with paddle-shifters, which I find quite funny. There is no need for a sport mode in this vehicle. Seriously. You are only kidding yourself. If you want something sporty, buy an Italian sports car to try and impressive the blonde at the red light, not the more than two-ton crossover SUV with the beak grille.
Regardless, it’s a well-enough ute that has good marks all around.
SENIOR ONLINE EDITOR RORY CARROLL: Hmm. The interior of the Acura MDX is very well put together and comfortable. As mentioned, the center stack is a little cluttered, but the navigation system and the Bluetooth functions were unusually easy to use.
Like every car in this segment, power was adequate and the handling well suited to everyday highway cruising and running around town. The paddle shifters are more than a little ridiculous.
Aside from the beak, the styling is taut, if somewhat unremarkable.
ROAD TEST EDITOR JONATHAN WONG: Even with a new MDX expected to appear sometime next year, the current model is still my favorite three-row SUV. With our 2008 MDX long-termer, we piled more than 30,000 miles onto it, it never missed a day of service because of mechanical issue and the cabin held up remarkably well.
I continue to believe that this V6 and six-speed automatic transmission combination is one of (if not the) smoothest drivetrain combination in the SUV class. When you light-foot it around town, it’s quiet, with the transmission performing seamless shifts. And like Greg mentioned, it has a surprisingly nice exhaust note during wide-open throttle to unleash decent power for merging onto the expressway and passing slower traffic.
The magnetic suspension is cushy in comfort mode for a soft ride around town and more roll around corners, but tightens in sport mode. Of course, a high-riding 4,600-pound vehicle isn’t going to take a corner like a sports car, but all things considered, it can round an expressway entrance ramp quite well. Steering has some weight tuned and responds well to inputs. Brakes feature good bite and slow things down without drama.
I suppose the best compliment you can give a large vehicle is that it drives smaller than it is. Maneuvering around parking lots is done with ease, and the backup camera is handy. I also think Acura’s blind-spot warning displays are the best in the business, with the warning inside the cabin instead of outside on the mirror itself or on the side of the mirror housing like Audi’s is.
Complaints about the MDX’s button-laden center stack are expected, but I prefer buttons over having the majority of functions being controlled by an iDrive-like knob. It’s kind of like your home entertainment remote control that has a billion buttons on it, but you eventually get used to it and pick up on how to control the cable box, DVR, DVD player, speaker system and TV. It’s the same thing with the MDX’s center stack—you’ll get acclimated to it and will be a pro at working through it before long.
The rest of the interior is nice, with quality materials, good-looking wood trim, soft leathers and one of the most comfortable front bucket seats you’ll find in a luxury SUV.
As for complaints, I do have one. The navigation map in Acura vehicles is really outdated. While Audi has Google Maps images, Acura is still slogging along with the same beige background image that’s in the Wong family’s 2004 MDX. Kind of disappointing, but I’m sure updates are in the works--at least I hope they are.
