How to test drive a Lamborghini
The notoriously desirable Lamborghini is not for the faint of heart and especially not for the faint of cash. Equipped with a 6.5 L V12 engine, the 2007 Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 can produce 633 bhp and can go from 0 to 100 km/hr in 3.4 seconds with a top speed reaching 340 km/h.
Complementing it’s incredible speed is its famously sleek design and scissor doors. With base costs standing around $300,000 US, getting behind the wheel of this supercar can be quite intimidating. For the adventurous (and somewhat loaded) spirits out there, here are some light-hearted tips for test driving the Lamborghini.
- Eat a light lunch - Hair-pin turns at 110 km/h? You’re better off skipping McDonalds.
- Wear your Sunday best - If your Sunday best is just Sunday OK, then rent a tux. The dealer may think you’re filming a Bond scene.
- Rent out your nearest race track What’s the point in getting stuck in traffic when you can rev it up to 300 km/h? Well, I guess picking up chicks is always an option.
- Park your POS a few blocks away from the dealership.If this isn’t possible, you can tell the dealer it’s a loaner.
- Put on some loud tunes. It will deter you from imitating the sound of the engine.
- Wear racing gloves. Sweaty palms on the steering wheel are a racing faux-pas.
- Check your credit rating. No one is going to let you even breathe near the car without a credit check.
- Bring lots of tissues. In case you break down when the dealer tells you the base price.
- Buy several lottery tickets. See #8.
- Consult your physician Driving a Lamborghini may leave you breathless with intense palpitations of the heart.
Well there you have it, ten things you should keep in mind if you want to cross the Lamborghini test-drive off your list of life goals. I recommend you get around to this before you try sky-diving. Godspeed!
