Lamborghini Gallardo Spider

Why does Clarkson like this car so much? Because "when you go above 3500rpm it makes a noise like a punctured sumo wrestler. And because you sit so far forwards, which makes it feel like you’re on the nose of some giant, snarling power-crazed animal".

Add to that the four wheel drive system, which gives you added confidence as it manfully copes with the 510bhp and the breathtaking acceleration. A wonderfully exciting car for both those who wish to be noticed and those who thrive on the thrill of raw horsepower on the open road.
