Supposed to be ultra exclusive and highly collectable no less than seven of the twenty Lamborghini Reventón jet-fighter inspired supercars to be built and delievred last year are currently listed for sale on a luxury goods website. JamesList.com has the seven machines which all came in a military-style grey colour scheme and featured unique aggressive styling listed on its website which sells luxurious products such as cars, boats, planes, watches and helicopters, hinting that even affluent car collectors are being hit by the current global financial crisis.

However while the 20-off Reventón (plus an extra one built especially for the Lamborghini museum collection) was sold by Lamborghini last year for 1 million euros plus taxes, all the owners are seeking to make a profit on the Murciélago LP640-based 6.5-litre V12-engined supercar which takes its sharp and angular styling cues straight from the F-22 Raptor jet fighter, with prices listed on JamesList.com ranging from 1.25 to 1.58 million euro.

With maximum power of 650 bhp and 660 Nm of torque, a top speed of over 340 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 3.4 seconds, the Reventón features the Murciélago's traditional permanent four wheel drive and 6-speed paddle shift 'e.gear' transmission also has an aeronautical-inspired TFT liquid crystal driver's instrument display and a unique 'g-force' meter.

The Reventón was announced at the Frankfurt IAA in the autumn of 2007, with the 20th and final example being delivered to a British buyer late last year. One example is now being offered for sale of JamesList.com by Alain Class Motors of the United Arab Emirates for 1,580,000 euro, without disclosed mileage. Two Reventóns are loacted in the United States, one in Houston (Texas) which has 88.51 km (51 miles) showing on the clock is and is listed P.O.A. while the other is in Florida, and without mileage recorded is priced at 1,530,000 euro.

The majority of these supercars, four, though are located for sale in Germany. The cheapest is listed at 1,250,000 euros (no disclosed mileage) coming from a Frankfurt seller which appears to be an example that was originally destined for a Japanese customer, then there is one priced at 1,344,537 euro (no disclosed mileage), another at 1,348,000 euros (10 km/6.21 miles) and finally an example at 1,349,000 euro (no disclosed mileage).
