5 Holiday Fantasy Cars: Lamborghini ReventonOnly 20 will be built.

Photo: Christian Bittman With its unique angular bodywork, you might mistake the all-new Lamborghini Reventón for a low-flying Stealth fighter rather than an automobile.
While all of the major mechanicals underneath its skin remain untouched (same 632-bhp 6.5-liter V-12 engine, 6-speed transmission and all-wheel-drive system), the exterior of this customized Murciélago LP640 gets a full makeover from stem to stern. Its skin, bi-xenon/LED headlights, LED taillights, wheels, exhaust tips — even the gas cap — are completely redesigned. The result is signature Lamborghini styling with a twist, especially the very large openings at the front of the car below the headlights and the wide side intakes forward of the rear wheels.
Interior changes include a bespoke leather pattern and, appropriately enough, a "glass" instrument panel display that looks as if it's been plucked from the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner instead of traditional analog gauges.
But this 4-wheel rarity, even if you could find one (only 20 will be built; only 11 are coming to the U.S. and they are already spoken for) comes with a very steep sticker price: 1 million Euros (currently about $1.6 million)...plus tax, of course.
