Lamborghini's own Reventón is a mid-engined sports car that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show.[7] It will be the most powerful and expensive Lamborghini to date, costing one million euro. The official press release states that only 20 will be built, but it is rumoured that the total number could be 100. The exterior styling was inspired by the F-22 Raptor. Although the exterior is partially new, almost the entire mechanics (including the engine) are taken directly from the Murciélago LP640.
Since its foundation, Lamborghini has been a creator of trends in the world of sports cars and has always manufactured cars with an absolutely unmistakable character. Models such as the Miura or Countach, for example, were veritable forerunners and rapidly acquired the status of timeless classic cars. From the moment they are launched, every new Lamborghini promises to become a legend, destined to become a sought-after and precious possession.

A commemorative Lamborghini stamp issued by the Italian Post Office Lamborghini has celebrated the issuing by the Italian Post Office (Poste Italiane) of a postage stamp dedicated to the Lamborghini Miura. The €0,85 stamp features a reproduction of the distinctive Sant’ Agata Bolognese mark: the raging bull on a black background. A special announcement ceremony was hosted by Lamborghini’s President and Chief Executive Stephan Winkelmann at Lamborghini’s factory in the presence of the Director of the Poste Italiane and other local dignitaries and the public. The stamp, as well as a limited number of ‘first day covers’ can be purchased from Italian post offices. The first day cover includes a booklet introducing the stamp and the legendary Lamborghini story, signed by Stephan Winkelmann. The Lamborghini stamp belongs to the ‘Made In Italy’ series with an anticipated production of around 3,500,000 stamps.
In 1994, poor economic circumstances at Chrysler forced them to sell Lamborghini to an Indonesian investment group headed by Tommy Suharto. These owners sold the company in the late 1990s... while suffering from poor economic circumstances. By then however, the German car company Audi AG had gained interest in the ailing Italian company, and in 1998, in a complex series of transactions, Audi AG became the sole owner of Automobili Lamborghini.
In May 1990, the most successful Lamborghini model up to that time, the Countach, was replaced by the Diablo. By then, 2,000 of this model had left the factory in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna. In January 1994, Chrysler sold Lamborghini to Megatech, part of the Indonesian Sedtco Group. In 1995, it changed hands again, with 60% of the shares being taken by V'Power, a company controlled by "Tommy" Suharto. The other 40% were bought by Mycom, a Malaysian investment company.
