I spent more than an hour having a debate in my head today because of this thread. I could not choose between the LP640 and the Diablo 6.0VT. I fell in love with the Diablo when I was 4 years old and it was the first supercar I fell in love with. but the Murcielago LP640 is not only faster, sounds better but is a better car overall.

lets start from the back. the exhaust tip is easily big enough to fit both of my fists. the tail lights are works of art. they make the Diablo's look old. the rear tires are more than 30 cm wide . then there are the rear airvents. they OPEN! I dont know of any other car that has opening rear air vents. that is uber cool. then there is the doors. signature doors that no other car maker asides from Lamborghini is known for. the 05 rims (ones the lower picture) are works of art and along with the SLR rims are the nicest wheels ever created imo. the side air intakes are MASSIVE. the car itself is more than 2 meters wide and with the side mirrors, its about 2.2 meters wide then there are the side mirrors themselves. they flow from the car body so nicely and they too are massive. then we have the front brakes which have as many pistons as a Z06 engine and are the size of our Accord's rims and are as thick as my pinky finger is long. then we have the headlights. just the shape is ASTONISHING to behold. no other supercars' headlights are shaped the way the Murcielago's are. the SLR's headlights have the shape of any mercedes (although are much sexier). the enzo doesnt compare. the CGT's headlights look like a Boxster headlights. the Zonda's are not big and muscular like the Murcielago's. the only car's headlights that come close are the Gallardo and R8 but even them the Murcielago's are more angular and "in your face". then we have the air intakes at the front which too are MASSIVE.

other things to consider:

0-60: less than 3.5
0-100 in the 7s
1/4 mile: low 11s
top speed 340 km/h

I dont remember which magazine said it but the Murcielago is the last he-man's supercar. no "finger tip controls" here. you really gotta take the ragin bull by the horns and use some muscle!
