Remember the Lamborghini Reventon? It’s the F16 fighter jet-inspired, rebodied Murcielago. For your £850,000 you got one of just 20 bespoke supercars, complete with military-inspired speedo readouts and a 221mph top speed. It’s a pretty amazing piece of automotive design. But the idea? What you might not know is the notion of a jet fighter for the road has been in Lamborghini’s blood longer than you might think.

Back in 1998, Lamborghini was on the brink of being sold to Audi. In the months before the deal was signed, Lambo had one last crack at complete craziness, and built this, the insane, one-off Pregunta.

Underneath the bodywork, the Pregunta (Spanish for ‘question’, weirdly) is a Diablo, packing a 530bhp V12. It’s good for 0-60mph in 3.9sec, and a top speed of 207mph. As amazing as those stats are, forget the numbers. Just look at it! The brief for the design team was to build a car that was impossible to confuse with any other car’s shape in the world. Mission accomplished, chaps.

Instead of riffing off American fighter jet styling, the Pregunta took its inspiration from the French Air Force’s Dassault Rafale aircraft. For 1998, the on-board tech spec is wildly impressive: there’s fibre-optic lighting, GPS, rear-view cameras instead of mirrors, but the drivetrain was old school. Diablo all-wheel drive was binned for good old-fashioned rear-drive, and the trans
