Sure, it's hard to say -- but then Lamborghini only
trips off the tongue after you become a supercar fan, too.
We're talking the usual 12-cylinder engine under this
Italian Stallion, delivering the goods the aggressive lines promise.
After all, it reaches speeds of 198 mph, if you dare.
But inside -- and we use that term loosely with a roadster coupe
-- who would expect streamlined headrests complete with mobile air
vents and "asymmetrical" leather upholstery? In a nutshell,
it's a cockpit.
Speaking of aesthetics, that nasty rollbar would certainly
ruin the ambience, so this safety feature is tucked away behind
the seats, automatically extending only when necessary. Representatives
say it also offers a front "Antidive" and rear "Antisquat"
system, along with the six-speed transmission.
And although the times you need to use it would be
limited, it's hard to imagine the driver who wouldn't want to play
with the axle-lifting system, which allows you to raise Murciélago's
front axle by 45 millimeters at low speeds.
Price: $281,100
