A Lamborghini was designed to stand out and be dramatic. That's how they came to fame!

Fine line between dramatic and tacky, I suppose...

I know a woman that drives a Murcielago in that color. As nice as the car is I would rather look at her.

It's not so much that you only live once, it's more that you're dead for so very long afterwards.

I saw her (I said Hi) yesterday at the benefit for Veterans in North Chicago. I really need to grow some and sit down and chat with her.

I would rather see it in Balloon White, about the coolest color on a supercar.

Agree that Balloon White is awesome, but now Lamborghini is over-exposing that color with the new LP-560; virtually all of them are in white.


So now yellow & white = over-exposed.


Verde Ithaca is a love it or hate it color.

Lamborghini offers some AWESOME colors...they'll pretty much sell you any kind of color except maybe TICKLE-ME-PINK

I'd rather have an orange (arancio borealis?) coupe with black Callisto wheels. Interior can be black leather with orange stitching

I don't really like the blacked out taillight look... being lightly smoked looks good but too dark looks ghetto IMO

If I had to have that color, it had to be black interior, roof and dark windows. The green interior is just toooo much. If you are an NBA player, then it fits.

I think the new Gallardo LP-560 is pretty sweet and is somehow quite an improvement.
