I love lambos, i wish i had the money to afford one.

Great numbers but... 4WD? Come on, a supercar must be rear wheel drive.

lambo has been producing 4wd supercars for ages, and they are great.

And their best cars are Miura, Countach and Diablo, all rear-wheel drive. I f.cking hate Murcielago and Veyron cars, 4WD, you could drive one of those as a VW Golf. That's not what a supercar should be like.

Look at this Miura naked: 4 wheels, throttle, brake, clutch, engine. End of story.

A VERY FAST Golf, that would be.



with a drag race against a golf btw. Listen to what they say about handling before the Stig lap, sounds like boring huh?
If that doesn't cut it for you, you've got this version too...



Yeah...what a bad, boring car.

 

[Skeptic]

Top Gear says Lambos are Hyper cars not Super cars. I believe them.

Who said is boring? I said: nowadays, 95% of of human being could drive more or less fast a Veyron. That's not what was happening 15, 20 years ago. Back then, you should be extremelly careful to put your right foot in the throttle.

Of course they aren't boring cars, but much less challenging, of course.

McLaren F1 has no electronic aids. Try to be FAST with it. My all-time fav car is the Ferrari F40... also try to be fast with it, no steering asistance, no ABS, no ****ing anything between the driver and the car.

You could drive @ 400kmh in a Veyron, good for you. Try not to spin in a Countach LP500s in second gear.




PS: I remember Nigel Mansell speech about his Lotus F1 of 1986: "It has so much power... even in 5th gear, at 250+ in the Mirabeau (a Monaco street circuit turn) the wheels were spinning when I put my feet in the throttle". Most of you guys love a car because it's faster or has more power than others. I love art. Cars where art till mid 90s.

I would like to point out something about that lambo top speed in the topgear clip..its faked..
The Koenigsegg CCX Jeremy mentioned is much faster then the LP640. The ccx topped out at 197mph before they had to brake, they ran out of runway...literally..


To prove my point...a slower CCR raping a LP640

(Start at 2.44)
