In his latest column in the U.K.’s Sunday Times, Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear shares his feelings on Lamborghini ’s new Murciélago LP640.
“It’s flawed. It’s silly. It’s got a four-wheel-drive system that doesn’t really work, a sat nav screen that’s been put in place with hammers, and a steering wheel that’s coated in what appears to be a black version of Top Gear dog,” Clarkson writes.
“Technically, it’s not even as good, I should imagine, as the new Honda Legend. But when it comes to memorable times, do you opt for dinner with a chartered accountant or Lemmy out of Motörhead?”
“Even though I have ordered a Gallardo Spyder, I’m the first to admit it’s not quite as good as an F430 round a track. It’s less delicate. Less poised. But as a car, a mad, expensive, preposterous waste of money, the sheer force of its personality knocks the techno- Ferrari into a cocked hat.”
