Re: Car and Driver - 2007 Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 Roadster - 06-11-2007, 07:03 AM

I love this car -- it really is fantastic. The only problem with it is the image it projects about the owner. I know it is not fair to stereotype people and I know not all Lamborghini drivers are a "type" ...but the world is not fair and these types of vehicles will always attract as much derision from others as they do attention -- generally, they are not owned by elegant people, they just don't make a polite or refined impression. Lambos are all about showbiz and glitz; they are cars for beautiful people who love attention.


However, there is another type of Lambo owner, a much rarer breed. These are the genuine connoisseurs, people who love the insanity of that big V12 being pushed to the limit. 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds -- the LP640 roadster separates the men from the metrosexuals -- no pretty boy would ever drive that fast with the roof down .....it would mess up the do.
