Lamborghini Murcielago Lp640 Or Ferrari F430

[siksII]

I am planning to rent one of these cars in around 3 weeks time.

Both are convertible 2008 models with paddle shift gearboxes.

Deep down I think the Ferrari appeals to me more although the excitement of a LP640 is pretty hard to beat.

I booked the LP640 however I can change it, im still in two minds.

Any comments appreciated.

Ferrari if you want to be seen driving the car, Lambo if you want to drive the car

my 2c

whichever you choose, have fun!

[Psymon]

If i HAD to choose it would be the LP640 but I can see why it's a hard choice. Ideally driving both would be the most satisfying!

Out of interest, how much to rent one of these? And what sort of restrictions are on them etc.

[MUZT3K]

lambo ftw.

Lamborghini for sure. There was a time when a Ferrari meant more of a status symbol than a Lambo but these days both manufacturers have amazing road presence in their vehicles so I say go for the one that's most aesthetically pleasing to you and the better performer.

damn, dont suppose u wanna share how much one of those is worth to rent?

I just had a bit of a gander at specs of the 2 ..is it just me or is supercars getting fatter? ie heavier? that ferrari is as heavy as a R33 gtst .

Ferrari F430 = 1452.7 kg 490hp

Lambogini LP640 = 1665 kg 639hp

Ferrari.. ftw

[ras1983]

This definitely depends on whether you're a Ferrari person or a Lambo person. I've also loved Lambo's much more than Ferraris, so for me the choice is easily the LP640.

Which make do you prefer?

[mad082]

lambo all the way. why? the exhaust noise

[PM-R33]

$3000-$5000 to rent? Those were the prices we found while looking a little while back.

Ferrari without question, I wouldn't have to think twice

The Lambo is a sensational car but it ain't a Ferrari, but then nothing is.

[willL]

also keen to know how much it is, also how long will you have it for?

jst wanna ask a question cos i was thinkin of doing this a while ago; a ferrari 360 modena aint much to rent but the bond is 30,000dollars and the insurance excess is 10,000dollars

now that bond is for something, must read the fine print; e.g. the engine blows or clutch goes while you drive it, will they take that off ur bond????

i lost interest a while ago, wont ever rent a car - let alone an 800+k lambo; bond would be 50k maybe? excess maybe 15k?

[PM-R33]

Yeah we saw that insurance bond thing aswell, makes it very difficult to do in Aus. Best place to do it is Vegas, fairly cheap to rent for a few hours or a day, and the insurance is realistic, just a credit card with a few grand accessible. My mate done it there, drove a 360 and a gallardo i think it was.

pics please

Granted,

I think if your not seeing any track time, definitely go with the Lambo, its got all the ingredients to make you feel like a kid again

to me the LP640 has a much more aggressive feel, look at that second pic, its like a fighter jet just waiting for you to jab the throttle and take off, i love ferrari's to, but the lambo just takes the cake

lambo

Ferrari if you want to be seen driving the car, Lambo if you want to drive the car

Which is ironic considering Ferraris are more of a driver's car than the "shouty" Lamborghini.

I'd get the Lambo. Relatively speaking Fazzas are a dime a dozen on the roads. Since you're not going to be driving either car at its limits (unless you're planning on tracking them) I'd get the shoutier car.
