Sorry about the small picture, can't find a bigger picture of that exhaust.

Nope... unless you think a Zonda is rice as well.

Rememebr - rice concerns visual mods that FAKE adding power/speed to a generic/slow/standard car.

Although it can be argued some mods may APPEAR rice on fast cars because they LOOK like the kind of FAKE mods that RICERS use.

The fact remains the car was fast before the mod - and may even be faster afetr the mod.

These rice-like mods on fast cars are just tasteless.. but not rice.

That sums it up pretty well.

Same goes to the McLaren F1. It had four exhausts in a straight line. It made the car sound amazing though.

Definitely NOT rice. RC summed it up really well...

I'm not really a fan of the looks...but if you heard what it sounds like...there would be no question, it is not rice. It sounds...devilish.

That looks like a rocket launcher, not good to see at all. And Murcielago is one of the cars with best designs IMO =/
