not according to wiki:
The Murciélago sports a 6.2-litre version of the Lamborghini V12 engine, a six-speed manual or 6-speed sequential automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive.

Back on page 3 I mentioned seeing a Mangusta Qvale. Well, it looks like someone in my building has bought one (or decided to start driving it into work):

I hadn't heard of this car before. I looked up the official site for it... and honestly, I don't know why, but it doesn't do anything for me.... Maybe I'm just having one of those days...

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

It kinda looks like the fat, retarded cousin of the miata.

There, I said it. You all know you were thinking it...

My parking garage seems to be a hot-bed of rare cars lately. Witness the Lotus Elan:

Glad to hear at least one owner pullers her hair and spanks her a bit. :)

Wait, sorry, wrong thread... and wrong forum...

I wish the wanker down the block would play with the Lambo 560 he parks out in his driveway on the weekends.
I feel for him though, he has to move his 650i to the visitor parking to make room for the Gallardo.

The guy was swapping the Hummer for the GTR. Nice trade, eh?

Yeah, if you alter the crappy photo in photochoppa you can probably see the nice SALEEN on the back. Very sweet ride! First one I have seen on the road. :D

Didn't get a picture of it, but spotted something called a LaForza yesterday (it looked to be in horrible condition, though). It even had a Ferrari prancing horse badge on the front fender right by the door:
Wikipedia wrote:Laforza was an American automobile manufacturer. The company sold an Italian-built military and police body and chassis designed by Tom Tjaarda, fitted with Italian leather interior and a fuel injected Ford Windsor engine. It was marketed as a "luxury 4x4", competing with the Range Rover. The vehicle was refreshed in 1998 with a "new" design to include more modern amenities, but used the same basic body and drivetrain.
