Lamborghini names their car after fighting-bulls. It is their tradition, and that's why their company logo is a fighting-bull.
Here is the history of Reventón I copied from Wikipedia:
"
The Reventón is named for a fighting bull, in line with Lamborghini tradition. The bull, raised by the Don Heriberto Rodríguez family, was best known for killing famed Mexican bullfighter Félix Guzmán in 1943.[9][10] Reventón means "explosion" or "burst" in Spanish, when used as a noun.[11][12] In the vernacular, it is also used to define a very large party or a night in town. In automotive terms, it means "blowout, flat tire" when used as a noun.[13]
When it was used as the name of a bull, however, it was intended to be interpreted as an adjective, a quality or property of that bull in particular. In this last sense, Reventón means "he who seems to be about to burst" "
Since Reventón means "flat tire" in automotive terms, we can call it
Lamborghini Flat-Tire.
