~~Introduction~~
There is not much to say about this car except, oh-my-god!! You would expect nothing less than an amazing car if you paid the thousands that the car is worth.

~~Experience~~
I have only been in this car once and it was with a friend driving. I got in the car which was quite awkward because of how low the seats are compared to the average people carrier. After you get into the car however, the sports seats are remarkably comfortable because they support all of your main muscles. Anyway I managed to get in, and as I buckled up, the car lunged forward with is mighty acceleration. The car can take corners as if the car was on rails and you would expect at least one G acting on your neck, I would probably find it hard to tip one of these top of the range sports cars. The speed we did in this car I would not repeat due to the fact that one could get locked up because of it.

~~Engine~~
The engine is absolutely incredible. It is a 60 degree V-12 with a light alloy block. It is mid mounted and longitudinal which gives loads of power to the rear wheels. The 5707cc engine emits a maximum power output of 510bhp at 7100rpm and a maximum torque of 580Nm at 5200rpm. The engine has a pressurised water cooling system. The ignition is electronic and has an integrated fuel injection system which is an original L.I.E Lamborghini electronic sequential multi-point injection system.
The engine runs on premium unleaded 95 R.O.N. (As of 1998) and can do 100km with 16 litres of fuel.

~~Performance~~
The performance is remarkable and can be expected from Lamborghini. This car has a top speed of 323km/h which is the same as 204mph. It goes from 0-60mph (0-100km/h) in 3.9 seconds and does a standing quarter mile in 20.8 seconds.

~~Capacities~~
Fuel:- 100 litres
Engine oil :- 13 litres
Cooling system:- 15 litres
Luggage:- 140 litres

~~Chassis~~
The chassis is made from rectangular steel tubing, high strength alloy and composite carbon fibre. The body is an aluminium alloy and hand lay-up composite materials with autoclave technology.
The suspension is independent in both the front and the rear with anti-roll bar and front anti-drive/anti-squat geometry.
The brakes are ventilated Brembo with 4 callipers. Front disc size :- 340 x 32 mm. Rear disc size :- 310 x 28 mm.
The tyres are Pirelli P ZERO. Front tyre size :- 245/40 ZR 17. Rear tyre size :- 335/30 ZR 18.

~~Dimensions~~
Wheelbase :- 2650 mm
Overall length :- 4470 mm
Overall width :- 2040 mm
Overall height :- 1115 mm
Front track :- 1540 mm
Rear track :- 1640 mm
Ground clearance :- 140mm
Weight :- 1576 kg

~~Conclusion~~
As you can see, this car is remarkable, both for it's engine and for also it's aerodynamic outer shell which can make it react speeds in excess of 200mph.
