In a bid to add more prestige to what it already has, the Italian maker of super luxury sports car unveiled the Reventon at Frankfurt’s international autoshow, a very limited edition car that looks more like an arrow than anything on four wheels.

With the $1.4 million price tag, it is the most expensive car that it has ever built.   And of course, Lamborghini has already sold the 20 cars that it plans to build.

True to its tradition of cultivating an aggressive image, Lamborghini named the car after a bull that killed matador Felix Guzman in 1943.

Lamborghini’s engineers took inspiration from a fighter jet and reworked the composite carbon fiber body to accentuate the sleekness and angular edges usually associated with its cars.   The engine is a 12-cylinder rocket that can propel the car from zero to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.

Lamborghini, which is run by Volkswagen’s Audi division, will start making the Reventon in January and deliver them in October.
