Why I Drive a Lamborghini Reventon

Today I'm interviewing the owner of this Lamborghini Reventon. This is number 11 out of 20 built for the entire world. I cannot believe this is happening. Even before I did the Sesto video, this is what I thought would be the pinnacle of doing a Lamborghini. And today I'm finally ticking it off the bucket list. I cannot believe it. The owner took delivery this morning and today we're going to find out why he bought this car. So right here we have the owner of this car. Hello, hello. Do you want to introduce yourself? My name is Payam Zarian. And this is your brand new to you Reventon, right? Brand new to both of us because we just got to go for RIP together for the first time ever in the new Reventon that we just picked up. So you just took delivery this morning? This morning at like 12.04 in the afternoon. Crossed the border this morning at eight o'clock in the morning. Now tell me why you bought this car. You know, when you grow up, you have the video or the pictures of the Diablo, the Countach. I'm dating myself now because I'm older. But you know, and that to me was the holy grail. And as I got older, I was able to enjoy a Mercy and I had a couple of different Aventadors. I even did a crazy GT Evo swap on another Lamborghini that we did. But you know, I've always wanted something that nobody has. And I built the Batmobile. That didn't do the itch for me. Didn't scratch the itch. The Reventon is what scratched the itch for me. It's something that I can say that only 20 people in the world have access to an own one right now. Yeah, and this is the ultimate Batman car. Yeah, exactly. I want to be Bruce Wayne. Really, that's exactly what I want to do. Yeah, now you had a Murcielago gated. You sold that car, right? How does this compare to the Mercy? I think the Mercy is the one that hurt the most that I sold because it was, you know, one of the first gated ones in Canada. It was so much fun to have. I would go riffs with my daughter. You know, she's in a bucket seat. And when I got rid of it, I could never really find anything that was that raw, right? The Aventador is very, very aggressive. But it still didn't feel like a Mercy. And I think after driving this today, that's the first time I've ever felt that kind of, that aura over you that this is what a real car feels like. So this car came out based off the Murcielago chassis before the Aventador. You can see the design cues that went into the Aventador big, big time. I mean, every little detail was giving us a tease for what the Aventador would be. Absolutely. I bought this based on pictures. I never got to see it in person. And I really thought it was going to be, you know, a baby version of the Aventador. But it's actually way better. Like the lines, the lights, you can't even describe it in person. I feel sorry for your viewers online who won't be able to see it in person, but it really doesn't do it justice. No. And they all came in this color and this interior. You couldn't get any different specs, right? Exactly. Yep. So there's 20 Bruce Wayans out there with the same car. And then they made the Roadster, which is even rarer than this. I believe there's 15 Roadsters. Okay. Yeah. That's next on the bucket list. I mean, you must be over the moon. Like you've did it. You've bought the dream car from childhood. I don't know what's next, you know? So I want to enjoy this. I'm not a trailer queen kind of guy. Obviously, I'm not going to daily it, but I would love to enjoy it. Take it out, take it to shows. There's one other one in Canada. I'd like to find the owner of that one and we'll hook up a little date together. And we'll have the two coolest cars in all of Canada in a photo shoot together. I'm so glad that you've bought this car because I know you're actually going to take it out. You're going to share it with people. You're going to drive it. Yeah, we bought it. It has about 2,900 kilometers on it. And that was part of the reason we bought it is because we didn't want a delivery mild car because then you can't enjoy it, right? You have to leave it in your basement or your, sorry, your garage or your museum at home. But for us, it was, you know, I can take it out without feeling guilty and putting some gas in it today. And let's go for it. Now, what was the story behind this car? Where did it live? I mean, you didn't get it in Canada. No. So I was lucky enough, a good friend of mine who has access to these vehicles, he reached out to me. This car was actually registered in Monaco for many years. And then it was sitting at a, you know, a garage somewhere. We'll keep that a secret for now. And he was able to curate it for me. And I'm very lucky to have him on our team. So it's not like you can just go and buy one of these. No, not easily. Like as soon as the opportunity came up, it was a no-brainer. I was like, we got to do this. So yeah. What else were you cross-shopping it with? You mentioned a Carrera GT. Yeah, we were looking at a Carrera GT. I had a Senna before that. But again, like just when you see this car, you're like, forget everything else. We got to blow the budget. We got to go. We got to go all out. So can you walk me through some of the details specific to the Reventon? Yeah. So, you know, this very much here is similar to the Aventador. But you can see there's actually another massive inside there, the scoop in there. Yeah. And then you see this line here. The Aventador didn't have these lines. So again, like you don't really notice it until you see it up close. Trying to put gas in this thing was also very, very interesting. So it looks like, because this car is built off of a fighter jet platform, you really feel that. And then the inside of it, the cockpit, it literally looks like a fighter jet simulation. It's like reminds me of playing sim. When I was a kid, I'm playing the airplane sim games. And if we open it up, you can see the interior is full green. Everything is either gray or green to be like a fighter jet. Even the headliner has fighter jet style embroidery on it. And then right there is the plaque number 11. And then you got the Kenwood system that nobody, those are only for the Reventon. So that was something that they did for this. You can kind of see the dash right now. But you can kind of see the way the gauges are and all that kind of stuff. The Aventador, the Mercy, nothing was like that. And the best part of it is you also get this really cool bag in the front of the vehicle. Wow. These lights are crazy too. Look at that. Full carbon fiber. It's very raw. It's almost like just how it was manufactured instead of polished up as a production car, like the Aventador. I haven't even opened up. There we go. So you get this really cool bag. Again, looks like coming. Oh my gosh. That is sick. Exactly. Yeah. We got all the service records, everything about there. So it's such a perfect vehicle. Like you can't fault it for a thing. Now what's in that bag? Does it have anything that you get? Yeah. It's more of the manuals. It actually has a knife that we had to ship separately. It's a Reventon 120 Lamborghini knife. So that's not in the bag. And I'll send you a picture when we get that in there. And this is mostly just the books, the records, all that kind of stuff of the vehicle. So again, a really cool way of presenting it. That is unbelievably sick. I thought you liked that. Yeah. I don't even want to know what that would resell for. That is probably $20,000, $50,000. I don't want to know if you lose that. Yeah, exactly. 20 of them. That's going to go in the vault. Yeah. You got to protect that. I mean, everything else is kind of like the Murcielago. Very similar. Yeah. And you'll see this kind of the really cool stickers and, you know, the legal Reventon. So again, stuff like that. There's just 20 of them out there. That's it. And this is painted in the fighter jet gray. Yeah. All the same colors. And I was told don't even get a scratch on this car because there's no fix for it. So that's kind of the only downside of a vehicle like this, but let's enjoy it. Now, I imagine when you buy a car like this, Lamborghini takes notice. Do you think you're now on like some VVIP list to get cars? I don't know. I don't live life like that, you know, and to be honest with you, they're not making anything that I like right now anyways. So I'm going to enjoy the old school stuff. And that's where my heart set in the Lamborghini world. I mean, this thing is so epic. I cannot believe you got this. And not only that, you're actually going to drive it and share it with people. Yeah, it's going to be a blast and I'll take, I'll recreate videos of my daughter and I, when we were younger, when she was younger. And I'm going to put it, she's not a car city anymore, but we'll go for rips together to coffees and cars dates. Dude, this is so sick. Congratulations. Thank you so much for you. We appreciate it. We appreciate you coming out on short notice to enjoy this with us. So we're glad that we were able to take our first ride together. This is a crazy backstory, which will be a VinWiki story at some point, but for now, let's go for a ride. Let's go. All right. We are in the Reventon. This is insane. Oh my gosh. First, just picked it up. Yeah. You're my first driver in this. So thank you so much for the opportunity. This car has been on my bucket list for a couple of years. Man, are they rare? I mean, number 11 out of 20 and you just got this car. Landed two hours ago. You were our first car. As soon as we got the car, we gave you a call. Thank you so much. Oh my goodness. This is a childhood dream come true. You and me both. How does it feel for you driving this thing? You know, you always had that poster in your house, the Countach, the Diablo. For me, it was always the Diablo. And to be able to own something and drive something this rare is just unbelievable. This is so nice. I mean, you've had Murcielagos. You've had Aventadors. Absolutely. Yeah. So that's what I thought. I thought this car would be very similar to the Aventador, but I can tell you really off the hop just driving it. It's a lot stiffer. It feels like my Murci. You feel every bump in the road, but it kind of gives you that feeling of you're driving the car again versus you just being a passenger in a car that drives itself. Yeah. Like you mentioned that you looked at buying a Roberto. You looked at SVJs and they just didn't quite do it in the same way anymore. Yeah. I think the SVJ is probably the closest thing to give you that raw vehicle. But something like this just comes by once in a million years and I just had to take the opportunity to kind of take a gamble with it. So far, the first 20 seconds has been awesome. The cockpit, the dash, everything. It just it's unbelievable how tight it feels. It's like literally a fighter jet on the road. Wow. The interior is very Murcielago-esque. Yeah, exactly. Very much so. A little bit of Gallardo almost too, but I was looking for the reverse button that's been changed now. So yeah, it's very, very Murcielago-esque. I feel like it even drives the same Do you like the way the Murci drives more than the Aventador? I do. I regret selling the Murci vehicle just because that was my favorite car I've ever had in my life. And I was at a position in my life where I couldn't afford a couple toys, so we had to get rid of it. But I have pictures of it with my daughter. We're cruising around. She's in the car seat having a blast. So this brings me back that emotion of my first ever really supercar that I owned. But just times 20. On steroids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like Murcielagos have gone up in value so much in the last couple of years. And these, they haven't gone up as much in comparison. Yeah, we were shocked to see it. And that's the thing when I was looking at these cars and I thought they'd be unattainable. We were able to kind of land it for a very, very fair price. And now we're trying to enjoy it and have fun with it and stuff like that. But I think it's at a point now where they're going to be crazy astronomical. You can't just go out and buy one of these any day of the week. Not like a Revolta or a Murcielago. And that's part of what I wanted. And you know, I'm crazy enough, I had a Batmobile Tumbler built. And this is kind of part of it. I always wanted something that nobody else has. And I think I can comfortably say there's not very many people in the world who are going to own one of these Batboys. So that's the cool flex factor there. And they very rarely sell. Like when this came up for sale, you must have been all over it. We didn't even think twice. It was, you had to make it. My wife's not happy with me. I have a mortgage on the house. But we were able to buy this vehicle because she's like, I get it, man. You're never going to find something like this again. So it is kind of the Picasso of the art world for us. And I believe there's one other one in Canada. Yep. And that's it. Delivery miles on that. He doesn't really drive it. I've seen a couple of shows. Really nice guy. But yeah, absolutely. Like there's only two in all of Canada. And this one has 2,800 kilometers, which means it has actually been driven a little bit in Monaco where I used to live. Absolutely. That's what I liked about it. You know, I don't want a car that you have to trailer queen. I've never trailer queened a car in my life. And I didn't want to do it with this one either. Obviously, I'm not going to drive it as a daily. But I'm going to enjoy it, you know, and take the kids out and go to shows and stuff like that. That's very important. You know, we only live once. And I really want to enjoy, without saying too cliche, you know, YOLO. But you got to enjoy life too. Dude, I'm so happy for you. I'm so happy you got this car. I'm excited that the people that are into these supercars here in Toronto, hopefully, are going to get to see this. Because you don't get to see these cars, ever. That's the plan. We already got a line with the other raccoon town. Hopefully, to do a shoot together and really, you know, let people enjoy this world. Because yeah, there's not very many of these out there. So... No, I go to a lot of shows around the world. I see a lot of collections. And I've only ever seen two. And this is the third one. No way. So... That's awesome, man. It's pretty rare you see one of these. And let alone an owner that will actually drive it. Well, hopefully, I'm not crazy. But that's what we got to do, right? Yeah. You only live in this one world once. And you want to enjoy what you can. Oh my gosh. Do you notice any differences right away off the Murcielago? My Murci was stick. So obviously, that's the first thing. I find you can really feel the single clutch on this one. You know, Aventador is very similar to that. But this one, I feel, is a lot more harder when it shifts. And not in a negative way. And I feel like... I know you probably can see the video. You can feel every bump in the road. Some people don't like that. That's what I love about this car, right? And that's why I didn't want a Rivalto or an SF90 or something that's so refined. I don't enjoy that, you know? This is exactly what I want. Yeah. And with the prices, I mean, a Rivalto SV now in Canada is over a million. Easy. That's without even specking it up, you know? So when you look at the value as well, you're buying a 120. Obviously, it's more expensive. This is not the same price. But compared to the price of the new stuff, it just doesn't make sense as much. Yeah. And I think that it's kind of as they keep on refining these supercars, I think the older ones are just going to go up in value. Because people want that, right? They want to enjoy the vehicle and drive a vehicle and feel everything. And I think that's probably why the market has shifted so much. And, you know, Mercedes are going crazy now. And all the older stuff is just wild how much has changed. Yeah. I can see why now. Yeah. We've seen the values literally double, triple, 4X in the last couple of months. I can definitely hear it. It handles extremely well. I'm driving with one hand right now. It's so stiff and nimble. I keep on saying this over and over again, but I really do feel it that way. Oh, my goodness. I never thought I'd be revving around Toronto in a Reventon. Me neither. So thanks to us, buddy. Oh, my gosh. Well, thank you for this opportunity. And I appreciate it so much. I'm so glad that you're here with me, man. Like when you had the opportunity to meet up, I was like, we got to do this. So thanks for thinking of us too. Thank you for thinking of me. What the heck? This is insane. Anyways, thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed. Remember, God loves you. See you in the next video.
