That sure is a whole bunch of cars that now cost in the ballpark of $400,000 new. As pictured, I'd imagine closer to $500,000. Wonder how long they'll keep up that kind of volume.
The car pictured is super bad ass though. Love the SV.
Nice pic and a great car. I have this problem though. I don't mind paying for the car but I am not willing to pay the ridiculous freight necessary to maintain these cars.......thus my FGT.

Huumm... I feel the need for me to chime in.
The cost of admission to the exotic arena is certainly high however the cost to remain once within is far less today than only a few years ago for all marquees.
For example; both the Lamborghini Gallardo and the Murcielago were both blessed IMO with the capital and technical support of Audi as such are gals that are able to be exercised regularly with modest maintenance cost. Now having said this, the cost is still far greater when compared to the Ford GT a gal that was moderately priced when presented and has proven to be a rock solid day to day driver; this whether tooling along or being exercised at extreme levels.
Now as for the Lamborghini LP670-4 SV; the pictures and the stories do not do this gal justice as she is a fricken beast that is IMO wickedly stunning to look at up close and then once she is awakened leaves no doubt to those within listening range that she wants and likes to play.
The Lamborghini 670-4 SV share the Murcielago’s basic shape however from stem to stern these gals were twisted and tweaked; the chassis, body panels, the materials used throughout, her heart, software, interior, wheels, and the list goes on are all unique to the Lamborghini LP560-4 SV.
The cost of admission for these gals in the USA is just shy of $500k and then add tax and license and you have quickly passed the $500K mark a figure that will place 3 stunning and anxious to be exercised Ford GT’s in your stable with more than enough rat-hole remaining to personalize each one so the question looms; is the Lamborghini LP670-4 SV worth the price of admission; “absolutely” and this not because she is 3 plus times better than a Ford GT because in many areas she IMO is not but rather she is different.

a good friend and a member here just bought one of these, I got some seat time in it, its a nice car, I still wouldnt pay 500K for it. I would get three more GT's:wink

gallardo engines are made in germany and murcielago engines are made in italy
it costs $7,000 to replace the windshield on a murci :eek
I don't think I'll ever be lucky enough to own one, but I'm in complete and utter awe every time I see one. Amazing car!!!

Most people, in principle, probably have the same view. Myself included.
With apologies to Tim C. (et al! :lol), I can only see, at most, owning TWO FGTs. ONE "stove top stock", and the other MODDED THRU THE ROOF. IOW, one to look at/show and one to play with w/o consideration as to rock chips, mileage, depreciation, blah, blah, blah.
But, that said, if someone wants to lay out $500K for ONE car - MORE POWER TO HIM!!! It's his darn money, he earned it, and it's a lead pipe cinch he, "CAN'T take it with him". So, practicality be hanged! :wink :banana :cheers
Contach was once a statement of art. I fear the current Gallardo and Murcielago will end up looking old school before too long. For me a classic car has to stand the test of time and the FGT has proven that to be the case. The Enzo, the Z8, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren amongst others will always be timeless classics.
Money is IMO a very an interesting “tool” not unlike a hammer and screwdriver; some become comfortable and proficient using them whereas for others using them always feels awkward.
