I've seen a yellow one a couple times in a Minneapolis suburb (and not a very rich suburb either)...what I haven't decided yet though is what was hotter...the car or the driver. It was some 20-something blonde...Yowza!

I don’t know why you guys are saying it's fake, maybe it's because of the crappy camera phone pictures, but this was the real deal. I walked around it and believe me it was real! If it was indeed a replica it was a damn good one. It even had the V-10 engine. I heard this thing about a mile away (not really but the echo in the structure was loud!).

And it's real, Don't know why it's so high, i think they have a lifting system integrated to lift the front end an inch or so for bumps like the enzo and murci have.

Lambo's have a feature that you can raise (and lower) the front of the vehicle to clear curbs, steep driveways, etc.

Think its optional on the Gallardo, but standard on the Murcielago (don't quote me on that)......haven't shopped for Lambo's lately.

Oh and those wheels look cheap.

It was common back in the 80s & 90s to see MR2 and Fiero replicas of Lambo and Ferraris.

you own't find a 430 for under 250K for atleast another year IMO

used G's can be bought for 150K. They do sell at MSRP, but 430's are anywhere from 70-100K over

Thats the first time I've seen it. Anyway I think thats why the front end is so high. When the guy parked he went in and then backed up a little stopped for a couple of seconds and then drove a little bit foward. I guess he was lifting the front end so he wouldn't hit the curb.
