Curbing a wheel is painful, no matter what car you’re driving. The feeling of dread that shoots through your body the moment you hear that dreaded scrapping sound is enough to make petrol heads sick in the stomach.
Spare a thought for the owner of the following Lamborghini Reventon then who curbed one of the supercar’s wheels just before it was displayed at The Quail during Monterey Car Week.
As just 20 examples of the Reventon coupe were ever built, that means that potentially fewer than 100 wheels were built by Lamborghini for the car. That means each is surely worth more than a small hatchback, making the following sight all the more tragic.
Additionally, as the wheels of the Reventon make use of five carbon fiber ‘fins’, repairing them won’t be a simple or cheap job and in all probability, this Reventon owner will have to beg the marque for a new wheel.
As each Reventon is worth about $2 million however, affording a new wheel shouldn’t be an issue.
