Lamborghini Reventón takes on a Tornado
November 26, 2007 by Karl Peskett
In a nod to its aero-inspired origins, the Lamborghini Reventón has taken on an A200-A Tornado fighter plane at a military airfield in Brescia, Italy.
On the 3km Ghedi airstrip, a Lambo test driver, ahem, piloted the Reventón to its top speed of 340km/h, taking the lead in a standing start race.
We’re told that this was not just a publicity stunt; once the flag was dropped, the race was on for young and old.
The Tornado caught up within the last few metres, overtaking the Reventón, lifting off and flying overhead.
Sure, it’s not the first car versus plane race in history, but since it involves a Lamborghini, we thought you’d want to know about it.
We know there’s only 20 of them made. We know it’s priced well out of our league. We know it’s only made in left hand drive. But just look at it! Those feelings of covetousness have never been stronger….

I don’t know what I’m agreeing but I agree.
Come to think of it, this publicity stunt didn’t do justice to the Reventon.
The shape of the Reventon is inspired by the F22 Raptor, so why are they comparing it with a Tornado?
And if it is suppose to inspire public interest, how come they’ve got two elephant men posing next to the car, instead of Jennifer Hawkins?
The Reventon deserves better!
Give me the Tornado over the overpriced, wanky and plain ugly Lambageeni any day. I’d much prefer the ego of the pilot vs that of a Lamborghini / Ferarri driver.
so you dont agree?
Lamborghini winner
i agree
i dont like the new reventon alot i reckon it doesent bring out the lamborghini style unlike the gallardo or the murcielago and there still only hitting 360KM/
