Amid all the cars at Frankfurt, a Lamborghini and a rock star

FRANKFURT, Germany — Got a spare $1.4 million? Want a Lamborghini Reventon? Get in line and start saving your money.

The Italian carmaker has made just one of the cars so far and unveiled it at the 62nd International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany, according to USA Today. It plans another 20 for 2008.

They've already been ordered and down payments banked, said Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann. Each Reventon is a symbol of extreme exclusivity, even by Lamborghini's standards.

Winkelmann said the name itself, like the company, has a storied history. Reventon was a fighting bull, owned by the Don Rodriguez family and is famous for killing famed bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943.
