    It look's like one of those Coyote VW kit cars from the 80's. Remember Hardcastle & Mc Cormick! IMHO it SUCKS!

    Absolutely gorgeous. I still like the Gallardo better, though.

    Joe, which Lambo did you own? I've heard that the newer ones are way more reliable, though haven't improved as much as Ferrari.

    Yes, they are beautiful. But what a pain in the arse! How'd you like to keep this in tune...



    I had a late S-model Miura with factory AC, so one of the dual distributors was omitted for a single 12-cylinder unit. That actually gave it a bit more "reliability" but it was still a royal pain of a car. I went from that to an '84 Porsche 928 and it was like going from hell to heaven, especially in the handling and comfort department. Not to mention you can at least find 928 parts!

    LOL! Ok, so maybe the VW logic doesn't work, but Lambo IS supposedly more reliable nowadays.

    By the way, here are some specs:

    $700k price tag
    6.5 liter v-12
    700 hp
    7 speed manual
    AWD
    0-100 km/h estimated at 3.3 seconds

    Would be sweet getting one of those engines in a VX!!! Can you say LamboCROSS?!? (Remember the Jerrari?)

    This was way before the Coyote. Built in 1965 it had a top speed of 169 MPH. The fastest street legal car in the world.

    "This car was years ahead of everything else ( it would take Ferrari 7 years to come with an equivalent road-car: the Boxer)."

    Actually, the Miura pictured here is a brand new concept from Lamborghini. Its styling is strongly influenced by the original, though, which is the car you're talking about.
