Lamborghini Murciélago LP640

No, I don't really care how to pronounce the word "Murciélago", as long as this sh$t looks nice!
A 6.5-litre V12 engine lies at the heart of the LP640, where LP stands for 'longitudinale posteriore', which refers to the V12 unit mounted lengthways behind the cockpit.

With deeper and wider cylinder bores than the previous 6.2-litre V12, the new 6.5 ups power to an imperious 631bhp at 8,000 good-for-the-soul revs per minute.

Coupled to a new six-speed gearbox, which can also be ordered with Lambo's e-gear sequential paddle shift, the LP640 howls from 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds - 0.4 seconds quicker than the 6.2-litre model.
This is from Top Gear today - Note that Lambo plans to put this car into PRODUCTION. It means if any of you (certainly not me) is lucky enough, you will see one of these someday...Well, good luck!

Here are some pictures:
