Lamborghini Reventon Spyder Rumoured for 2010

When Lamborghini originally announced the ultra-exotic matte finish Reventon at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show limited to just 20 examples, the €1 million carbon fibre supercars were quickly snapped up by collectors. Angular with razor sharp lines, inspired by a fighter jet and named after the bull that killed famed matador Felix Guzman in 1943, the 6.5-litre V12 features 650 hp and 4-wheel drive. Having appreciated considerably in value, there are now 9 Reventons for sale on JamesList – almost half the total production.

So what will Lamborghini do for an encore? Rumours are rife that a Reventon Spyder is in the works for 2010. Even more exclusive, the roadster version, based on the Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce, would be limited to only 9 examples. A newer version of the 6.5 litre V12 engine would crank out 670 hp and 660 nm of torque. Given the current economic climate, prices for the Spyder are likely to be lower than they might have been during the boom years – about €1.25 million according to reports. An official announcement is expected at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

The $500,000 Bullet-Proof Bentley

Sure, you could get yourself an off-the-rack Bentley Continental Flying Spur, but what happens when the s--t goes down? Better perhaps to be prepared with an armored version that can stop an AK-47 dead in its tracks.

For about $500,000 you can pick one up in Germany via global online luxury marketplace JamesList. Featuring military-grade B6-level protection, the upgrade makes this super-luxe sedan war zone-ready. With virtually no alteration to the outside appearance and adjustments to handle the extra weight without sacrificing the 552-hp engine's performance, the changes are subtle but effective: ballistic steel in the doors, pillars, overlaps and sides of the vehicle, bulletproof glass, run flat tires, an explosion-proof gas tank, kevlar flooring, and more. Other security options include a self-contained oxygen supply system in case of a poison gas attack and exploding hinge bolts that blast open the doors should a speedy exit become imperative.
