Looked at some lambos on my lunch break (pics!!)

[KangamangusDriver]

I work for VW. Vw owns Lamborghini. So today on my lunch break I drove to the VW school with a fellow worker.

This is what we saw in person! We had a chance to speak techs from all over the world who turn wrenches on these things.

They even started up the Murcilago for us!!

They said that the Murcilago originally had 750hp but the chassis was twisting, so a detuned 650hhp version made.

They are hoping by 2010 to have 750hp!!

thanks for sharing , i dont think there is a single traffic law i would obey if i was pilot of such a car. :up:

i saw a guy drive one through the city one morning and traffic was parting so he could meander on through

i say cars like that should be legalized to be the only cars that can go fast.. haha cuz it makes no sense to drive such a car going speed limit..

I think with you buy a murcialago you should be required to go to a driving school before they give you a keys and if you score above a certain level you get your first 3 speeding tickets waived.

[KangamangusDriver]

The tech said that first gear would put you past any speed limit here in the states

Not trying to say you're wrong, but Audi owns Lamborghini, and VW owns Audi. So you're partially right. :D

Those are some hot cars! There were 2 of them at a local exotic show a few weeks ago.

That makes sense, Never knew about the whole Vw and lambo thing.
Any idea when that happened?

Audi took over control of Lamborghini probably about, 5-6 years ago, right before the Murcielago was built. You can very much see Audi design cues in the Murcielago and the Gallardo.
