LOL, is that the Stig's evil twin brother behind the wheel?

Thats one ugly car!

[pegasus9]

So let me get this straight. There will be only one?

[masraum]

I wonder how much OT I would have to work to afford that. Only going to be 1. I'm guessing it'll go for $5mil.

OK, at my current rate, working a bunch of OT each week, taking into account Uncle Sam taking his cut, it should only take me about 40 years to be able to afford what I think this thing would probably cost. Hahahahah.

[mikeesik]

yuck.

Yes, it is seriously ugly. But they will have a lineup of people willing to spend obscene amounts of money to own it. Lambo's hidden motto has always been: Hey, look at me!

I hear you-but- Lamborghini in the past was beautiful.

It is now-a-days look at me in the simplest terms-OUTRAGEOUS.
I could equal the shock factor as well by standing on the roof of my 928 with the steering wheel shaft extended so I could drive the thing naked.
Some would think wow. Some would think hideous.

To me-it seems car makers are making HOTWHEELS for the road.
After a certain scale-it doesn't work.

Uh, that was the point of the Countach design, in 1974. It was named after the word someone says when they see something really amazing (usually a lady). Lamborghini themselves will be the first people to say that their designs are intended to be outrageous. That's nothing new.

IMO, the Aventador is kind of weird, because the roadster and coupe are so drastically different in appearance. I agree that the roadster is kind of awkward looking - a bit like a squashed pancake. But the coupe is, in my eyes, as beautiful as the 911, and for me, that's saying a lot. I think it might be the best looking car ever built.

Most people only see the ass end.....

[mikeesik]

outrageous nowadays= hideous.
When lambo was first cutting it's teeth-outrageous=beautiful.

[masraum]

I don't know, I kind of like it.

Murcielago, ok, but didn't really do it for me.


Gallardo, Yep, like this one.


Reventon, nope, don't like it. Maybe it's better in person.


Aventador, nope, I liked the cleaner lines of the previous generation (Murcielago/Gallardo). It is at least better than the Reventon.


But, I do, for some reason, think I like this new one.

Still, I prefer both of these to any of the above.

Mclaren F1


...and the Gumpert Apollo

Hahahaha
Just kidding, this thing is hideous!

[1971 911T]

Who cares about the phat car, i'll wear a Boba Fett helmet anyday!

[enzo1]

i'll take one of these....

[mikeesik]

I don't know.
The new 'super-cars', are just too Vegas.

Everyone wants to be from Hollywood.
