Since the birth of the futuristic, wedge-shaped Countach in 1971, there has been no feminine side to the unmistakable Lamborghini shape. Take, for example, the new Murciélago LP640 supercar, the enhanced version of the company's flagship model that was first introduced almost five years ago. Starting at the front, and very low to the ground, a more aggressive new snout rises and widens to the rear, on the way to becoming more than two meters wide - larger than many streets can accomodate. Boldly-styled intakes suck in vast quantities of air into the brakes, the radiators, and the engine, which devours all available oxygen and spits it all out disdainfully through that massive back end, via a cavernous center-exit exhaust.

The LP640 has a mystical soul. As soon as you release the door handle it unfolds its wings with majestic pride, a magical and fascinating moment. It is the quintessence of the supercar. In it, you can feel the essence of its speed, hear the music of twelve pistons as only the Italians are able to chord, and experience the most incredible grip within the boundaries of physics, giving you a most intense and stirring overall performance.
