One of the first ones in the states, supposedly. Do want.

I saw a lambo in Franklin, TN a week ago or so. the week before that I saw a Ferrari. I think it was a country music star
 
To meet emissions regs and improve fuel economy, car makers are reducing displacements, lowering redlines, adding forced induction, and switching to direct injection. In the midst of all that, what is Lamborghini's latest engine? A high-revving, large displacement, naturally aspirated, port-injected V12. Glory hallelujah. And it STILL meets emissions regs and improves fuel economy while making over 100 hp/L.

As much as it pains me to say this about a car that doesn't come in stick, I frickin' love this car.
 
The sticker on the window for environmental impact was pure lulz...it's a massive polluter.

I'm guessing that since Lamborghini is part of VAG, the rest of the VAG lineup takes care of emissions requirements. :-)
 
Pretty neat for something to see and drive. Probably a bit much for me personally...

I think Id rather have a new M3 and 911 every few years than one of those, but that's just me.

Really neat, kind of like art...

I agree 1000%! I always used to hate Lambos for being so flamboyant. However, they're simply making the best supercars money can buy these days. They are AWD BEASTS.
 
I remember seeing beautiful Lambo's and Ferrari's in ancient Italian squares and they look proper with a nicely dressed owner.

In the US it never seems to be the case. This one looks parked at a mall. They almost look tacky with the owner wearing a hat and jeans.

I'll take ZR1.
 
I saw a ford gt500 yesterday. I was never a fan till I saw this thing in person next to me at stop light.

It's absolutely beautiful.
 
Nice cars, the best part is since the Germans now own them they actually run and start! Oh and have working AC!! The old ones were a bit, well rough.

My friend is a big Lambo fan and wants to buy one in a few years. I'm more of an F car fan myself, I'm really feeling a 599, but well see that's a lot of coin to drop on a ride.

One of the downsides of those Lambo's is they are PITA's to part. That's why you see those sensors all over it, you used to have to pop the door and sit on the door sill to back the thing up.

My friend used to off road in his Ferrari's, he would take them hunting down dirt roads. He would put 10k miles a year on his. Shot guns and rifles on the seat next to him, if he got a deer he had to put it in a truck, but birds could ride in the passenger seat, or his dog if he brought his dog.

Most of the owners just polish them and never really drive them, which is a shame. They do very well as daily drivers. You can always spot a hard core owner when its winter, the car is filthy and stuffed against a snow bank.
