LA Auto Show: Official pics of the Lamborghini LP640 Roadster

UPDATED WITH LIVE PICS FROM LA

LP640 Roadster

Lamborghini has proven yet again that like a beautiful woman, everything looks better topless.

The Lamborghini LP640 coupe attracts glazed-over glares all on its own, but the roadster with the top down is outright stunning. Sharing specs with the coupe, the LP640 Roadster promises the same performance, but with the wind in your hair. Expect 0-62 MPH in 3.5 seconds on your way to a top sped north of 200 MPH from the 6.5-liter, 633 BHP V12 supercar. Pricing should begin at about $390,000 US and adding one to the Christmas wish list this year should get yours delivered in early 2007.

The only issue seems to be the user-friendliness of the fabric top. Those in the know say that lowering it is similar to fishing with your bare hands. Once you finally get it down, ingress and egress improve dramatically and the revised seats and gauge cluster are immediately apparent. That brings back high school memories and our first attempt at rendering something beautiful topless...
