Lamborghini is dumb!

So the director of "Batman Begins 2" (aka "The Dark Knight") wanted to use a Lamborghini as Bruce Wayne's daily driver. Lamborghini was cool with that, and provided a few Murcielago LP640s for filming.

What Lamborghini failed to do, however, was mention this to the production team. A stealth-influenced, 1,000,000 Euro uber-exclusive Lamborghini called the Reventón. This would've been a PERFECT complement to the Batmobile! It looks PERFECT for that role, but sadly this isn't what they provided for the movie. Oh well, they fail at marketing 101.

21 total (1 + 20 more) are going to be made for 2008.

Their high-end cars are in already such hot demand and damn near impossible to get, I really don't think waisting a car in the movie would make them enough money for it to be justified.

They also fail at design. The angles on the tail-lights are sharp enough to gouge my eyes out. :thumbsdown:

I'm sure they could have just made a replica. They do it all the time. The Camaro concept in Transformers isn't really a Camaro, it's just a GTO with a Camaro shell.

Woah, that looks sweet.

The exterior design is a bit extreme, but I like that.

Lol, the exhaust on this new lambo will rival the huge fart cans that ricers stick on their Hondas. :Q

I haven't followed too much of the history of the new Revention, but was this the first unveiling? If so, that may be why they wouldn't even want to give a shell to use.

A $1,000,000 car doesn't need much marketing, anyone who's willing to spend that much on a car will know about it.

The Lambo will still be overweight, complicated, and really cool :p

I know this isn't what this thread is about, but it's amazing how cars like the Z06, a modified Evo, etc. can all perform just as well as the Lamborghini's without needing 12 cylinders or an exotic set of parts that will be very expensive to fix.

To me, it's like the "cars of the future" from the 70s. WTH?

A Lamborghini will always be almost a Ferrari, in the same way that the only thing a Porsche Boxter tells about you is that you didn't have enough money for a 911.
