Lamborghini Reventon: Test drive report

Road&Track has done a very nice test drive report with the Lamborghini Reventon. Make sure to read!

Inside, the Reventón and Murciélago are similar, but distinctive leather patterns and an all-new instrument cluster make the difference. The latter is made of carbon-covered aluminum and shelters two TFT (thin film transistor) screens instead of the typical analog instruments. But all drive information can be shown in two different layouts — one is designed to mimic an aircraft's display, but I prefer the second setting with round, analog-like dials, as they are easier to read while driving.

There is one control that seemed completely unnecessary — the turn-signal stalk. For we found that wherever we went, traffic parted magically without any effort from us. We just can't imagine any other car (including the Bugatti Veyron) catching more attention than the Reventón.
