I was just looking for a great gift idea for my boyfriend when I remembered he would one day want to buy his own Lamborghini, I checked online and at that time it was hard to find a great toy model. I went to Amazon and there I entered what I was looking for and here comes the perfect gift that I was looking for. It arrived fast less than a week and in great condition, it looks AWESOME!! Can't wait to see the look on my boyfriend's face for this Christmas!!

I have a pretty good sized die-cast collection of 1/18 die-casts (35 models). And I'll have to say, this $30 model rivals that of my $70 models. Usually, with $30 die-casts, there are lots of rough edges on the mold and mediocre paint jobs. This model has essentially no rough edges. The lines are really smooth and clean - as if they hired someone to take a very fine sandpaper and smooth out the final mold by hand. And the paint job is stellar - no blemishes or imperfections like some of my $70 models. The model is rock solid with no creaking when playing the moving parts. BBurago has gone a long ways since they've released their Lamrboghini Countach and Diablo models. Maisto doesn't even come close - the notion by most collectors is that Maisto is better than BBurago. But this BBurago Revnenton puts all of my Maisto models to shame. If you've read professional reviews, the wheels on the BBurago Revneton is more accurate to the real thing than the $100 AutoArt Reventon models!

I highly recommend this model. As a collector, had BBurago asked $50 for the model instead of $30, I still would've gladly paid $50.

....for my nephew. He thought it was very cool. I didn't get much more out of him about the car.

Very good looking rendition of the Lamborghini Revention in 1:18 scale. Very accurate and very well put together. The only real flaw is the clear headlight covers which are way to thick to be scale and do not sit flush with the hood.

Based on the reviews I'd read, I wasn't expecting much in the way of a replica car. The exterior, undercarriage, and wheels have a fantastic attention to detail. So does the engine. The interior of the car itself, though, wasn't that detailed. The durability really leaves something to be desired. The plastic stretch-band they used to hold the engine compartment shut had the rear wheels bent to the top of the rear well. To their credit, they did fall back into place upon removing the band. The steering wheel and console inside are only half-detailed, in that they look amazing from above, but not the side with the door open. The cockpit around the chairs is sparse and unfinished, even though the seats look fantastic.

I'd like to add a note about the paint finish. The Reventon's paint job was a one-off job from Lamborghini, never used before or since. It was a matte, stealth fighter grey they chose to emphasize its fighter-jet origins. The model nails the paint job dead-on with a cold metal feel. If you're expecting a glossy finish, get a Murcielago or Aventador model, as this model is intended to have a matte finish like the original car.

I recently purchased an Audi R8, Lamborghini Diablo SV, and Camaro SS "Police Edition" from Maistro's 1:18 'Special Edition' line for 13 USD at a Sam's Club. They do manage to out-do the Bburago model in every way. Even the normal 1:18 line from Maistro has a better durability and interior (the exterior detail and engine detail fall short on these in comparison to the Bburago) than this one does. However, Maistro does not have a Lamborghini Reventon offering in 1:18 or 1:24, only a remote control 1:24.

All in all, it will look nice on the shelf next to my 1:18 Gallardo and Diablo. If you're displaying this on the shelf, I recommend having the engine compartment open for looks, but keep the doors shut.

The product is very nice, and the express is fast. I think that its direct system is not so excellent, the other aspect is nice.

Our 8 year absolutely loves cars. The faster and more exotic the more he loves them. Lamborghini's are his favorite and this Revention is probably his favorite among all the Lambo's. Please understand that we bought this for him to play with not just put on a shelf and look at. He takes good care of his stuff, but he is still 8, some it gets some rough handling. So fare it has stood up to the test very well and he has an absolute blast with it. The interior detail is at a much higher level that a Matchbox or Hot Wheels car as would be expected for something that is larger (duh, right?). This increased level of detail sparks his interest in how the car is put together, how the engine works, why the engine is in the back, etc. This leads him to read and research the car more and in turn sparks more questions, like why couldn't they do this (whatever "this" is) instead. This in turn leads to more research and reading and more imagination. Never a bad thing at all. So all in all, very satisfied with the car. I can't speak to the accuracy, detail, etc as a display model, but as a way to spark an 8 year old's mind, I highly recommend it.

The Bburago Diamond Collezione Lamborghini Reventón is awesome! I am NOT a collector of models so I can only speak on what I know as a somewhat typical consumer. I saw this 1/18 scale die cast metal work or art while at the NYC Auto Expo at the Jacob Javits Center here in NY and had to have it!
It is beautiful! Simply put! The craftsmanship put into it is obvious right out the box. The attention to detail (while I have yet to see an actual Lamborghini Reventón up close) is near perfection (from what I see in the pictures online.) And with the dimensions, at around, & I'm guessing here, 2- 2.5 lbs, About 10.5" in length, 4' wide, 3.5" high, this thing is definitely no slouch! All the perks are here including steerable rubber wheels, two toned seats, vertical doors, detailed rear engine, etc.and in all flat black it looks like a slender, sexy Bat Tumbler! Every car guys fantasy! I haven't opened it all the way but I did at least open the box and sniff that new car smell lol. With only 21 of these bad boys ever made (the real Lamborghini Reventón) this is the closest you'll probably ever get to owning one of your very own so don't miss out!

Good static model. Nice detail. Well put together, Flat Carbon Black finish is unique.

This model is not worth the money. The car's interior is poorly detailed, the color is not as metallic as the picture, the wheels seems like they are about to fall off. If anything, go with a Maisto or Hot Wheels
