Yea i dont know how they got this one either. maybe they were one of the ones who bought it or got it off someone who pre ordered it.

this dealer has had many exotics like: a couple McClaren F1's, F50's,Enzo's, 3 million dollar classic ferraris, a couple bugatti veyrons, a 30 million dollar mercedes race car from the '30's, Saleen S7, Viper GTR, Rolls Royce Drophead, Spyker C8,F40 ( with 125 original miles!)...all this along with your run off the mill bentley's, Astons, and ferrari 360's and 430's.

A couple mclaren f1s is an impressive feat. Usually you get those from mclaren and then they customize them for you. the F50 and Enzo are also a bit surprising as well as th bugatti. Its funny how these car manufacturers say that their cars sell, but the avg joe (with the right amount of capital) can walk in and buy one. Makes you wonder about exclusivity... Although I do know a guy (he used to be the head of ferrari NA, i think), he ownes an enzo, f40, f50, 360 etc... didn't seem very hard for him to get them.

That Lambo looks like it came from the same folks that designed the F-117 Nighthawk. You suppose all those angles might just deflect radar when traveling at speed??

The mag article I read said they did, indeed, take the design team to study a couple of stealth fighters before they put the first line down.

There goes that saying... it's not how much money you have... it's who you know.

I really love the lines of that Lambo ... just something you don't see every day. I tend to like the connection to a "fighter jet". I can see the parallel.

Nice pictures & thanks for sharing!

Nick and Kabel...thaks a lot for making me drool all over my keyboard while staring at it and readin the Edmunds review

reading the review is like the first time you ever laid your eyes on porno magazine

this is so true....
qoute taken from edmunds:

A Day That Dreams Are Made of
When we were young and had posters of supercars on our bedroom walls, we nurtured the standard-issue twin dreams of becoming a fighter pilot and of one day driving a Lamborghini. Today we're going to do both.
