THOSE FENDERS AND SIDE-MARKER TURN SIGNALS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE BORROWED FROM THE LAST GEN FORD FOCUS SOLD IN EUROPE! C’MON!

Damn, thats sick, I love lamborghinis, but if you want the same horsepower without spending over 100,000 dollars, get a corvette Z06, they dont look as sick as this but they perform just as well.

“Now consider… these cars are all about the numbers.”

Except that they forgot to make the stopping response good enough for such a large HP.

negative comments on a lambo, hahahahahahahahahah
try again haters…… nothing can equal or come close to what italian cars/moto’s represent, class of their own… hp is just one of the few factors, not just about that….

The numbers are what these cars are all about….
I mean, they are race cars for the street.
Since Audi added to the parts bin of Lamborghini the Lamborghini cars have been more user friendly. However, the Ferrari F430 can by itself more then handle the Gallardo, (which has hard time with BMW’s M6) and does a damn good job up against the $100k more expensive Murciélago. Now consider… these cars are all about the numbers.

meanpants555, liking Lamborghini better for whatever reason is understandable. It’s cool that Audi and Lambo Develope together. I just don’t know where this whole Lambo kicking Ferrari’s ass is coming from. I don’t know if you were trying to say that Lambo’s better because of audi or not.

lotusfire — Sat, 20 Jan 2007 07:40:07 +0000

How is Lamborghini kicking Ferrari’s ass??? Porsches AND Ferraris are faster around the track. and I’m not trying to say that’s what makes a car good, but I don’t know where this Ferrari getting there ass kicked comes in. Ferrari can’t make cars fast enough for their customers, so I know for a FACT that Lambo and Ferrari both giving eachother enough space in that area. Where’s the butt kicking coming from? Ferrari’s heritage seems more notable to me but I suppose that’s arguable at best, and anything beyond that is personal taste. If I’m totally missing something, please don’t leave me in the dark. Enlighten me.

Lotusfire: yes, they do. Ever since Enzo said “shut up, farmer, you know nothing about sports cars” (or something similar), Lamborghini has been kicking their ass. That’s the way it is. :p

The engine was developed by Lambo, but Audi made the parts.

By: meanpants555

meanpants555 — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 20:11:40 +0000

I am almost positive that there is a lot of Audi in Lamborghini, beyond switch gear… but I could be wrong.
As for Fiat parts in Ferrari, I have no idea, but it sounded good. Fiat owns 56% of Ferrari. Mediobanca owns 29%.

lotusfire is right, fiat group is technically on paper not the owner of ferrari. And the ferrari technology all comes from f1 and other racing divisions… not fiat.
anyway, the performance upgrades sound enticing, but i think putting kits and stuff on beatiful cars makes them look worse. the wheels look like they came off a hotwheels car.

By: lotusfire

lotusfire — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 18:17:57 +0000

Whoa whoa whoa, Audi’s being better then Fiat’s has NOTHING to do with it. C’mon now, let’s not even go there. Ferrari developes their own technology, you won’t see Ferrari’s engines in a Fiat or vise versa. If you want to make that comparison Audi verses Maserati would be better (in terms of sharing technology anyway).

Hey Nikee, I’ve seen this car in person it belongs to a mutual friend of mine. he hired a photographer to take some shots while he was in vancouver. The car is located in Calgary Alberta Canada. The Owner also has an Enzo, twin supercharged 360, and a Saleen S7 Twin Turbo. The car in the pics is actually for sale check it out at http://www.zrauto.ca along with some other sweet tuner ferrari’s and lambo’s. http://www.zrauto.ca/car_view.cfm?car=776&cartype=1 is the actual link straight to the car.

Wait until the new Camaro comes out. Just like in the late 60s when the Miura was mincemeat for the Z/28, the new Camaro will destroy any new Lamborghini or Ferrari. Forget comparing them to the mighty Z06. All your base belong to GM! I rUlEz!!!1!!!eleven!!!

I read somewhere, probably Car or evo magazine, that the majority of Lamborghini drivers order manual, while Ferrari buyers go with paddles; that says something. Besides whose technologies would you rather have in your car, Audi or Fiat? (I love Fiats, but come on…)

damn this is gorgeous! i love the way the tuner made small adjustments here and there to the exterior, nothing outragous that would ruin the way the car looks. but uh…whats up with some of the pictures, looks like an amateur took them lol

BAMF, i don’t mind the car…i think it’s great. it’s just that everyday john doe motorsports get one of these tuned and i don’t see it here, so i think it’s a disrespect that you put one in here and let the others out.

I agree Waat, 610 hp? out of a v 10. Although i love the looks of this beast! reminds me of a mclaren f1.

You would think you can get more HP out of a tuned Gallardo.

if IMSA sell one of these they’ll maybe also get the cash needed for a real photographer. what a lousy job!

Fantastic! I love the whole package of this car, from the exterior car parts to the design and style..its awesome. Driving a car like this feels like you are in one of the movies of 007. Cool.

Why can’t you say that this Lambo is good without saying they kick Ferrari’s ass? But now that you did..That’s utter bullshit. It just is, I’m sorry. You can like Lambos better, and hey, why not? The next guy could like porches better. But statistically, Lambo’s do NOT kick Ferrari’s ass. Not in heritage, or performance.

Looking good as usual. Lamborghini still kicks Ferrari’s ass.

Truly drop-dead gorgeous. I’d remove the “imsa” logos on the sides, but the one on the rear is tasteful.
