Ferrari FXX vs Lamborghini Reventon

Dreaming Big! (and really fast!)
Alrighttt.......... what a perfect way to start the first review with two absolutely stunning vehicles.
Now chances are if you can afford either of them you probably have both of them.
So having to choose won’t be that much of an issue.
For starters, I’m sure these automakers need no introduction, and these cars being top of the food chain for both brands makes for some series battle. Both the Reventon and the FXX are based on previous models from Lamborghini & Ferrari. The MurciĆ©lago and the Enzo.


Clearly this is a Level 1 Review.

Lamborghini Reventon
Debuted in 2007. Only 21 ever built.
650 hp @ 8000rpm --- Top speed 221mph --- 3670 lbs --- 6.5L V12 --- 0-60mph: 3.4sec
Price Tag: 1.3 – 1.8 million USD


Ferrari FXX
Debuted in 2005. Only 30 ever built.
800 hp @ 8500rpm --- Top speed 250mph --- less than 3200lbs --- 6.3L V12 --- 0-60mph: less than 3.3sec
Price Tag: 1.9 million + USD


WOW!!
Which one is better? (kind of a trick question)
However, to have to live with only one..........well, sorry Lambo fans I am going with the FXX.
I know that the FXX is not street legal and the Reventon is, but if an officer of the law were to stop and question you, I don’t think there would be a problem getting away in a high speed chase.

The regular (hate to say that, nothing really regular about either cars) Enzo is more prestigious than the MurciƩlago. With the introduction of the Reventon, Lamborghini defiantly closes that gap on the original difference. Either car would put the Batmobile to shame! (in speed not in shooting guns)

This car (FXX) would probably have me behind bars faster than you can say BOBSYOURUNCLE (no seriously it’s that fast) so maybe its better I don’t have one.

A much more thorough and further analysis is required. I am planning to contact each manufacture to see if they can send one of each model so that I may do a level 3 review............................YA...Right.

Please obey speed limits.
