The Reventon looks horrible, but the little kids don't want to admit it because they're so busy going "cool a lambo, that thing is so fast i bet it can go a thousand miles per hour!"
So, your opinion on the looks suddenly matters most & everyone who does like it is just lying to themselves?
Nope, there's nothing wrong with 18s on sports cars. But the car really isn't designed to do much more than look pretty cruising down the boulevard. And it seems that most cars that are done up to look cool have generally bigger wheels.
It may be done to look cool (the real reason is to get Lamborghini more money, nothing more), but Lamborghini isn't going to sacrifice performance, esp. in the Roadsters they produce.
And another thing, why release the roadster overf a year after the coupe? That's already gone and forgotten, the want for a limited edition, special design lamborghini has faded.
Because that's how it's always been?
The 6.2 Roadster released 2 years after the Coupe.
The LP640 Roadster released 10 months after the LP640.
The Reventon Roadster has now been shown 2 years after the Coupe.
They do that so that Coupe sales continue to thrive because the Roadsters actually tend to fill up their order forms. The 6.2 Roadster filled its order sheets faster than the 6.2 Coupe originally did when it was shown. The LP640 Roadster nearly did the same. Another reason is because Lamborghini want to make sure the Roadsters are just as exciting as the Coupes, and do so by making top speed & 0-60's virtually equal, a feat not commonly done.
The Reventon Roadster wasn't even originally planned either when the Reventon was designed. But when the rumors came out, it was obviously Lamborghini would make sure every Reventon sold before coming out with a Roadster.
As for the desire on these cars, you really have no clue. The Reventon is barely a year old, and dealers already want $1.6 million for a used one, $200K above list. And with the Roadsters as desired as they are, a Reventon won't be any different. A LP640 Roadster retails $382,400 new. People are already willing to spend $420,000 just to get one with delivery miles to skip production wait. And the SV will be the exact same way since it's a limited car as well. $450K new, 1 on the US soil already available for $484K for those who don't want to wait.
If there is a Lamborghini that is a limited edition & has a lot of "flash", it'll go for big bucks in 5 years.
