The first of four Lamborghini Reventon Roadsters snapped up by Singapore buyers has landed. At €1.1 million (S$2.1 million), the ultimate open-top supercar is costlier than a Bugatti Veyron (€1 million).
The owner of the first car is a top wheeler-dealer in the finance sector who does not wish to be named. He has not decided whether to register the car for use here. If he does, he will have to fork out $5 million for the pleasure.
Another buyer is entrepreneur Tommie Goh, well known for his love of exotic cars. One of his toys is a $3-million Pagani Zonda F, currently the most expensive car registered here. Only 15 Reventon Roadsters are made. All have been sold.
