Supercars of the murcielago's ilk are only partly about performance, they have a certain air of ultimate power, both within the machine, and within the wallet of the owner. A lamborghini wasn't always a fantastic drive, but it's always been a spectacle. This is simply a "more lamborghini" murcielago than it was before. (the murcielago was a more serious, more "audi" diablo... get what I'm going on about?) More extravagant, more impossible to ignore. hairdresser's car it is NOT.

A single guy in a convertible/cabriolet (technically this Lambo is a cabriolet folks and not a convertible) will look like he's batting for the other side (or cutting hair), unless its a TVR, Lambo, Ferrari, Lotus, Maserati or Porsche.

So all you Z3, Mx5, S2000, TT, SLK, owners, get your crimpers out and mince along please... (tongue firmly in cheek...)

[MILF]

Glad you mentioned Lotus there. Good fella.

No one has said "it looks just like a ...." yet, so it must be good!

K1 needs a lot of females to present the car . . . But ahh! it's a roofless car . . .

[vadim69]

Can hairdressers actually afford this car?

If so, I chose the wrong job

[DustyC]

K1 Attack...

Isnt that the car based on the Accord? Heard about that years ago. Did it ever happen? I liked it a lot at the time.

It still doesnt look anything like the Lambo though!

[silverback]

As an aside to all the hairdresser/not hairdresser car debate, I think those deep-dish rear wheels look pretty bitchin'.

[murcielago]

looks nice of course I would say that

The S2000 dont belong in that group. Have you actually driven one?

Also the M version of the Z3 shouldnt be there although the standard one I agree with

[Spie]

I don't think the Murci looks better roofless, although the angle is a little strange on those two shots. Some cars do (360 Spider) and some cars don't (911 cabriolet), but either way I'm sure there will be no shortage of takers.

[razzle99]

Looks are a very personal thing aren't they ? In my opinion the 360 is an absolutely stunning car as hard top and it's lines (for me) are utterly ruined as the Spider. Horses for courses I guess. Am certainly not a anti soft top either, as I'm a Griff owner !

[murph7355]

Having looked at a few 360s up close of late, I'm inclined to agree.

I think the lines of the 360, Murci and the 911 are all knackered by hacking the top off.

I have zero problem with Supercar soft tops. It'd just be nice to see the engineering might of these firms put to use in creating a properly designed and engineered (from the ground up) soft top, AND a top rank coupe to keep their ranges wide enough.

And the cost of engineering is hardly a factor. They could just crank the list price up

Have stuck some New Pix for people there, varying colors and angles.

Now... I wonder if they will lend me one for some vidoes ;P

Pix of the 'weather proofing' or the Murci.
