I know you're all gonna laugh at me, but does anyone else think the body panels on that in the front don't fit very well? Especially around the hood? Even with all its speed, if I paid $250g for a car, the body panels had better be straight. Maybe it's the camera angle.

Shit, the hood is straight. probably just the picture taken makes it funny. That sucker is freakin' WIDE. I mean the width of the car is agressive...just like a 360 Modena.

I think the guy is use to racing other MOTORCYCLES...I don't know many cars that can keep up with this monster. What are the specs? V12 6.0? I know it's 0-60mph is like under 4.0 seconds.

I saw the Lambo at the Autoshow this weekend...made me buy $100 worth of lotto tickets after that.

The authorized dealer said they're bringing only 11 units into Canada.

SRP - $410K cdn

Both Michael and Mario Andretti live fairly close to me.
I don’t know what they’re driving now, but several years ago I was cruising on a local highway and they both went screaming by in their Lambo Countach’s at 100+.
One Black and one Red.
Since there aren’t many cars like that around here it was quite a site to see.

If I drove a car like that, I would hire a guard just for it...I would HATE to see a key mark on it, and I bet it would happen too, if you parked it somewhere.

Lambos have never been known for their stellar build quality.

Great looking cars though.......

i honestly think that pple dont key cars like that. Since its so damn expensive, it wouldnt be worth their while....if the owner can afford a car like that, he can afford to get a key mark fixed....pple seem to key more average higher-end cars, and not even in all cases...my 99 accord got keyed...also my 90 camry

I'm sure miami is full of rare, exotic cars but that statement doesnt make any sense.

And thanks for the misleading heading on this thread

Are you sure about that? I just looked up the specs, 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds, 6.1L+ V12, AWD, 6 speed, and lighter than the IS300. That car is FAST.

People know you're a hotshot if you drive a supercar. They know better than to f*ck with your car.

All year around, I see a red 550 Maranello parked at a driving range near my house back home. The rumor is it's some basketball star. That doesn't surprise me. A lot of celebrities live in my town.
