Lamborghini’s Reventon supercar was without doubt one of the standout cars of 2007 and with only 20 examples rolling out of the factory your chances of snapping one up now are next to nil. Not so, apparently as a Reventon has been put up for sale for the princely sum of €1,590,000 or roughly $2,344,000 at current exchange rates, a significant premium over the €1 million official price.

What’s more surprising is that this isn’t even the first Reventon put up for sale since the car’s launch last year. Back in October we reported that a Reventon owned by ex-professional footballer Hugh McAuley was for sale in the UK and then in January this year news came out Connecticut-based firm Putnam Leasing has a Reventon available on a lease.

It’s not clear who the owner of this latest car is but we can confirm that it’s being sold in Italy. In fact, an advertisement for the car has been posted here. What’s most bizarre is that in order to be eligible for one of these limited production models you’d normally need to be a longstanding customer with Lamborghini and have already previously owned a number of the exotics, not typically the type who would sell the car to make a quick profit.

    Maybe the owner got into some financial trouble

    This car would be nice in combination with that $15M number plate.

    Raptor, that was pretty funny! Yeah, they would go really well together.

    Ya, I know but I still pisses me off. I'll never own such a cool car but if I ever did I'd never sell it, I'd be so grateful to Lamborghini for selling it to me.

    lol yep. unfortunately... when you're one of 20 people in the world that lambo picks to sell this car to, you probably already have an overwhelming sense of authority and such....

    Given the lack of improvement in performance over the "base" LP640, maybe the original buyer is just expressing his/her disappointment that it's just an overpriced bodykit. The Reventon is hardly the Bugatti-killer I, for one, was hoping for. Of course, since they're owned by the same company (VW/Audi) we'll probably never see that.
    I pity the fool who spends enough money to buy a Bugatti AND and an LP640 on this car.

    Ya but the people that buy these cars are so ridiculously rich that even though it's more expensive than a Veyron and an LP640 put together it still doesn't mean anything to them. I personally think this car looks awesome and would love to own one if I had the money.

    That saudi sheik (the dude who has $35B, what's his name again?) just bought himself Airbus A380. Compared to that, $2M car is a cheap toy.
