Lamborghini Reventòn

The Lamborghini Reventòn was presented at the Frankfurt 2007 car show, produced in small series since 2007 in only 20 specimens worth a million euros. It has a 6.5-liter 12-cylinder V engine with 650 hp. The car exceeds 330 k / h. The outer coating is made of CFC, a composite based on carbon fiber. The external components are glued and fixed to the Reventòn chassis in CFC and steel. The name Reventon comes from a fighting bull of Don Rodriguez's family, famous for killing in 1943 the bullfighter Felix Guzman.

Processing phases

It always start with large boards

glued together. This is Cembran pine

also known as stone pine.

Proper and punctilious planing

ensures that one is halfway through

the work.

Chisels and gouges help shape the model.

Having carved out the exterior and

hollowed out the entire interior, we

have the bodywork in hand almost

in its entirety.

It is the turn of the doors.

The front hood.

The placement of the front

headlights also carved from wood.

Here the Reventòn air extractor is

being sculpted, which will then ge

painted metallic black.

The extractor to be finished and the

details of the rear air intakes

positioned just below the

Headlights.

The dashboard and steering wheel

in stained wood and the interior

upholstered in microfiber.

The microfiber upholstered seats.

The engine made partly of wood

and partly of milled and painted

PVC.

I used wax to make a mold where I

would pour resin to form the wheel

rims.

It was not at all easy to turn rubber

from solid, bud the smell of it feels

like a real tire in your hand.

After several months of work a healthy contemplation at the finish line.
