Lamborghini announce F-22 inspirared Veyron Beater
Lamborghini has been hiding something from us all. Theyve been making a car based on a plane. Not just any plane, though, its modelled on the US Armys latest toy the F22 Raptor.
The car is set to cost $1.6million and be closely inspired by the Raptor, including a grey paint job and a stylised instrument panel.
Lamborghini has vowed to make only 20 cars, half of which are off Stateside and all of which have been spoken for by means of a $300,000 deposit.
The boys from Sant Agata have only commented that they are making a jet-inspired car and that it will be shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Who wouldn't want a car based on that? Who wouldn't want a car based on that? theyre keeping their cards close to their chest with the other details.
The F-22 Raptor is a stealth replacement for the current (ish) F-15 fighter plane. Designed by Lockheed, the plane is capable of supersonic cruising and can sneak up on targets practically unseen. In order to make sure it lived up to its stealth capabilities, all its missiles are inside the fuselage.
Having heard about this car, we're wondering whether it's a possible Veyron beater? The current LP640 can crack 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds and do 210mph, all for 192,000 - so what will 800,000 (est) get you?
The limited production run smacks of Enzo, so is it only for current owners? If it isn't, why hasn't the press been told about it?
