Ferrari’s have always been amongst the most desirable automobiles to own and drive. They are one of the ultimate status symbols of wealth in throught the entire world. Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it has largely enjoyed great success, especially during the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, late 1990s, and 2000s. Finally, after years of financial struggles, Enzo Ferrari sold the company’s sports car division to the Fiat group in 1969 in order to help ensure continued financial backing for his company for the foreseeable future. Enzo Ferrari himself retained control of the racing division until his death in 1988 in his beloved Modena, Italy at the age of 90.

This amazing Lamborghini Murcielago looks like it was built by aliens and beamed down to earth where it is for sale by Euromotorsport of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for a mere $279,950. Not a hefty price to pay for something crafted by alien technology.
Information about the from Wikipedia :
The Murcielago is powered by a 6.2-litre version of the Lamborghini V12 engine, a six-speed manual or 6-speed sequential automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. It also has a rear spoiler that can be raised to an angle of 70 degrees, side mirrors that fold in to improve aerodynamics, and side scoops that automatically open to the needed size to let in just the right amount of air needed to cool its engine.
The LP640 version was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2006, as a facelift for the coupé version. It features a 6.5 Litre engine, now producing 640 PS (631 hp/471 kW), improving performance substantially. Like the base Murciélago, the engine is mounted “backwards”, with the transmission in front of the engine and the differential behind it, instead of a transaxle normally seen on mid-engine cars. There were also a few minor external changes, primarily to the low air intakes.
The LP640 also has the original car’s wicked scissor-opening doors.

So what if Bam Margera has a purple Lambo that cost him $250,000? This blue 2007 Ferrari 599 GTB will blow the doors off that purple Barney the Dinosaur ride that Bam’s bragging about… and it will only set you back a mere $349,795.
Edmunds.com had this to say in a review of the Ferrari 599 GTB…
It’s difficult to discuss a Ferrari without a twinge of reverent nostalgia.
