How about 1mpg?

[DMbaseball1604]

I think that car is so tight, I mean for its time that was A TON of power and it still is a lot of power, imagine if they put a newer more advanced V12 in there..the new lambo V12 has around 570bhp if I'm not mistaken. The only thing I would be annoyed with is not being able to take it off road if I bought one b/c its so expensive and I would be afraid to tear it up.

[pimrusis]

I believe that was the Countach engine. Which is amazing. Imagine if they were to shove a Maclaren's Engine into an explore. Or a Viper's engine into a dodge ram :P

[Toronto]

wouldn't want to take it off-road. new tires cost 500(pounds) each (they say so on a recent top gear)

[yg60m]

Very expensive to run and not so efficient : it accelerated like a Range Rover 4.4 wich is not bad but with 450 bhp ... and it had a 290 litres tank. But i like it because it excepts standards : a Porsche Cayenne with 20 years of advance !
I saw it in Paris and it is enormous and if not beautiful very attractive like an Enzo is.
I am not sure the tires cost 500 £ each, I red that it was 1500 £ ... because Pirelli fabrics them ones a year in small quantities. :shocked!:

[blah]

they already did, its called the Dodge SRT-10 Ram.

[jaybv6]

OMG, 290 litre fuel tank. At today's current prices in the UK for Super Unleaded it would cost £237 to fill it up. Damn, that's expensive. I think the Tyres are about £2000 each as well.

Lol, I know... I was making a joke. :)

WELL YOU JOKE SUCKED MOOSE NUTS ON A COLD WINTERS DAY! :wink:

[pimrusis]

:cry: .......... 0X

[hgt]

I loved that car back then. But one day I saw it in person and ..... buuuuu


"You never ever meet your childhood heroes: Roger Moore...." (who said it and about what????)
:D :D :D :D

[pimrusis]

that guy on top gear with the long hair, about the contach

[hgt]

Well yeah that was totally easy. You got it. But there was no prize, was there???

[Keessie20]

Ugly car but it aint new. I did see it in one of Clarksons movies though it was Head to Head or Top 100 cars

[pimrusis]

The car is from the 1980's and early 90's.
(I doubt audi would let Lambo build something this outrageous now)

[altedza]

P.I.M.P. ;]

[BADMIHAI]

It is badass! That's all I can say. BTW: I think the engine is a detuned Diablo V12, if I remember what JC said.

[pimrusis]

Any vid of a JC review of this monster?

[knitevulture]

top gear sed its a Piece of Shiet so its a piece of SHiet. done and done. look no further than top gear. ooooohhhh top gear.

[kiato4]

Never liked it.
