Re: why so expensive?

Why...

A.The murceilago isn't all carbon fiber...
B.The murceilago is 3650lbs and the S7 is 2650 lbs...
C.The Lambo is an exotic and not a supercar...
D.The S7 doesn't come with Abs because it is a drivers car not some rich guys car as the lambo is...
E.The S7 base is 375k for a 550 hp car that destroys the lambo in track time. For 400k there is a 580 hp model and for 550k there is the TT which still weighs less at 2950lbs and makes 750 hp.


N/a S7 01 - 550hp 575lb-ft - 375k base
N/a S7 04 - 575hp 580lb-ft - 375-400k base
N/a S7 02 comp - 680hp 650lb-ft - 450k base
Turbo S7 TT 05 - 750hp 700lb-ft - 550k+ base
Turbo S7 TT 06 - 1000hp 850+lb-ft - 630k+ base

S7's redline 8500 the murceilago a meaty 7500...


Murcielago's stats...
580 bhp @ 7500 rpm
480 lb-ft @ 5400 rpm

Simple explaination... Track performance is much more expensive then strait line performance. The S7 is a supercar the Lambo is a rich boys toy...
