FIGHTER DUEL
Lamborghini Reventón takes on Tornado jet. |
The Panavia Tornado was originally built over 32 years ago, but with recent upgrades the 100 IDS versions delivered to the Aeronautica Militare Italiana these fighter
jets are still state of the art today, they have been in real life action during the first Gulf War and above Kosove over the last years, but taking on an exotic super
car was something the pilots didn't experience before.
The idea was to have both the Reventón and the Tornado at a standstill at the start of the 3 Kilometer long runway of the Ghedi Air Force base, close to Bescia.
This length would be perfect for a side by side race in true 'Fast and Furious' style. With the help of the Generale di Brigata Aerea Carlo Landi, head of the 5th
| right up to it's top speed of 340 Km/h |
Reparto dello Stato Maggiore dell'A.M., and colonnello Aurelio Colagrande, who is the comandante del Sesto Stormo, the Reventón was positioned next to the Tornado.
The Lamborghini was able to take the lead right from the start, with the impressive acceleration time of only 3.4 Seconds to reach 100 Km/h, the Reventón managed
to stay ahead of the Tornado right up to it's top speed of 340 Km/h ... but with little space remaining on the runway, the Tornado was airborne and passed the
Lamborghini naturally ...
