Lol at the hatin in this thread... I mean c'mon guys I love the RX-8 just as much as anybody else, but a Lambo - any lambo - is going to smoke the majority of vehicles in this world, and look really really good doing it. Is there any car more beautiful inside and out than the Reventon?
Lamborghini has no racing pedigree? Well gee they sure are quick...

if i were to buy another car of that range it would be an old, real ferrari like the 330 p3 (or p4) or a maserati mc12, i know there were only 12 made but come on, racing pedigree that you can't find on a lambo, to quote mysql... i really think that counts in a way. Also, lamborghini makes 4x4 cars and that's not sporty. That's why i'd go for the mc12 and not the reventon for example.

How is AWD not sporty? What do you feel about Porsche then? And if "racing pedigree" was all that, we'd all be driving Hondas.
I mean seriously, look at this car and tell me that it's not a work of art. It's a stealth fighter on wheels!

I can see why some of you don't get it.
A lambo with a body kit that isn't faster than the other lambos, doesn't warrant amazing.
But it does have daylight running lights!

Actually that specific lambo is faster than just about anything mazda, ferarri, or ford has out including the GT. It's hardly just a body kit, and its significantly faster than any other lambo ever built.

So by my reckoning, that's a 1.2 million dollar body kit. And you get 17 hp more than the standard LP640. Remind me never to have you recommend anything to me :P

It seems to me that you're the one not getting it. Fine, forget the Reventon and let's compare the "standard" LP640.... heck take the base Murci; they're all amazing cars by any standard, the epitome of what a supercar should embody.
Now in my personal opinion I would prefer an Aston Martin Vantage or Audi R8, but I can definitely still appreciate Lambo.

Id take ferraris over lamborghini most of the time, but i sure admire them for their performance and styling

Ferrari is part of FIAT, right but a part from some minor interior details the whole technical section is engineered by Ferrari.
And then, relating to the 4wd stuff i'm sure it can be amazing but the feeling you get from driving a serious rwd is totally different and way more satisfactory.
I own an old '87 gtb turbo, 255whp on a 2l turbo engine, about 300 built. I know it hasn't got much power but driving a mid engine-rwd with that heritage is something unique, a feeling you don't get close while driving a 4wd car, obviously in my opinion.
Then, to the reventon again: you posted a pic and that's fine but what about the mc12?

Watch the video I posted in this thread of the Gallardo SL owning a R35 GT-R and a 997 Turbo. Then watch the second video of the Murcielago posting a faster lap time than the Pagani Zonda and Koenigsegg, and then come back and tell me about how unsophisticated Lambo's AWD is.

I just find it funny on one hand these guys are all hardcore about lack of racing history and pureness of RWD vs AWD, then they cry about interiors.

I think Id rather trust the team of word class engineers than some random dude on an internet forum whether AWD is better than RWD for that car.
