Pictures of the exclusive new Lamborghini Reventon roadster have leaked out ahead of the car’s unveiling at the Frankfurt motor show next week.

The reports accompanying the leaked pictures claim the styling is inspired by jet-engined aircraft and the body panels are made from carbonfibre. A hard-top version of the Reventon was seen as Frankfurt two years ago.

Inside, it is reported to get an Alcantara leather interior with lots of carbonfibre trim. It rides on 18-inch lightweight alloy wheels.

Power is likely to come from the 6.5-litre V12 engine it shares with the Murcielago. In the Reventon, it is expected to produce 641bhp and 487lb ft of torque. It should be mated to a six-speed ‘box and be equipped with all-wheel drive. It is expected to get from 0-62mph in 3.4secs and reach a top speed of 211mph.

Production is rumoured to be limited to just 20 units, with an expected price tag of more than £1 million.
