Arrow Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 by Hamann!!!

As if the Murcy LP 640 was not ferocious enuff...

Hamann has upped the ante' with an additional 60hp for 700hp total.


"Thank you sir... May I have another!"

Looks pretty darn good. I'm not a big fan of white for sports cars but I'd rock with it.

Question

Ridin high? Wtf?

As it sits it won't clear most driveways or speed bumps. And I'm pretty sure if u pulled along side it, they would only see your tires or door handles at best.

I just don't get the obsession with ride height and wheel well gaps. It's like certain people value visual appearance over all else. Like the handling characteristics, feel, and stability at speed are meaningless.

It maybe a "visual thing" for a lot of people, however its other advantage is that it does have a positive influence on all the other very important factors you pointed out - "handling characteristics, feel, and stability at speed" . Simply because the center of gravity is lowered with a lowered ride height.

Granted that is a bit simplistic and there are lots of other variables that affect those characteristics, however it can be definitely beneficial to the handling, feel and stability in a lot of cases.

In mainstream cars, a small drop can usually help, I assume.

In the case of the Lambo (and a lot of others), I have to assume that they've probably found the proper ride height to maximize handling, given the car's suspension setup. As evidenced by ricer cars everywhere, lowering to the lowest possibly point (without major suspension modification) makes the car handle worse. Not better.

I don't believe in slamming a daily driven car. It's not practical and possibly causes damage. However, a slightly dropped car looks better and certainly handles bette. Once you go dropped you never go back.

Those cars come with oem coilovers and you would be amazed at the different ride heights that you see them set to.
