The Lamborghini Reventon
There are only 20 Lamborghini Reventon’s in the whole world, and Surrey-based company SuperVettura has just recently received Britain’s only model.Interested?
If you direct your eyes to the photo on the right, you will see a truly desirable car. It can go from 0 to 62 miles an hour in 3.4 seconds, its top speed is more than 211mph, it has a G-force meter on the dashboard, and its design was inspired by the F22-Raptor fighter jet.
The only downside is that it costs £849,000.
Oh – that’s a pity.
Third-hand Nissan Micra it is then. Still, we can dream…

Italian police crash £150,000 super patrol car
Italian police must be pretty gutted after crashing one of only two Lamborghinis in their patrol car fleet. The £150,000 car has been declared a write-off after the police car swerved to avoid another vehicle which crossed its path, ploughing into two stationary cars.
The Lamborghini car, painted in the Italian police force's blue and white colours was a gift from the Italian carmakers in 2004 and is one of only two owned by the Italian police.
With six speeds and a 500-horsepower engine designed to go from zero to 100km/h in four seconds, no criminal stood a chance of outdriving the response car. The news that the Polizia's top response car is out of action therefore may well be music to the local joy riders ears.
But perhaps Lamborghini will show the police some compassion and offer them a replacement Gallardo for Christmas. Thankfully finding cheap car insurance for the police is not an issue.
