UPDATED WITH LIVE PICS FROM LA
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...

"...The car suddenly turns right on the Autobahn which is straight, dry and in quite good condition with hardly any traffic, and after a very fast 90 degree turn goes through the guard rail and then lands with the top down in a forest about 150 meters from the place where the guard rail was broken through. The possiblity of a tire failure is being eliminated by experts, also the road was in good condition and no hindrance, like animals or anything like that, was no the road. "

and the moment someone drives it out of the auto show, they're going to get a ticket for not having a front license plate. Man oh man is it going to be painful for the owner when some guy takes an electric drill to that bumper. muahahaha. I like how the rear exhaust looks like it will bake a loaf of sourdough for me.
JC is an idiot @ Nov 30th 2006 12:38PM
If you have this kind of car, you dont really give a f*ck about a ticket for no front license plate, douchebag.

I'd like to offer my condolensces to JAMES and his wrecked exotic. After reading the very indepth website.. I had started to think it was the driver... but ya dont go heading into a barrier at whatever speed you were going in the Lambo.
I do hope you are alright... and would like to be contacted by you reguarding how things are going with your lawsuit my address.. accord9206@comcast.net.
I cant imagine.. for the life of me.. why this automaker (who I had personally held in quite high standing (even beyond them whoring out the engine design to AUDI and VW)) knowingly make a car and sell a car.. through dealers who wont admit and fix the problem. I guess... money doesnt buy everything.
PLEASE CONTACT ME JAMES
