Snapped a cameraphone pic of this little number Friday afternoon on Hargett St. in Downtown Raleigh. It’s a new Lamborghini Gallardo which, according to some friends who work in the area, has been spotted quite regularly down there. It’s 512 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque will rocket you from 0-60 mph in just over 4 seconds and will leave your wallet a cool $175,000 – $195,000 lighter.
Not to be outdone, a couple of days later in the exact same block, someone else (presumably) parked a new Rolls Royce Phantom, a massive car which is nearly double the price of the Lambo ($329,000). Granted, we do have a RR dealer in Raleigh now, but it is still a bit rattling to see such a pricey car parked downtown.
So, if exotic cars can possibly be used as a gauge to measure a city’s "Real City-ness," I’d say we’re making some good progress!
But seriously, I mostly just wanted to post a picture of a really cool car.
