    The VW van is porsche powered and the driver's seat is in the center ala McLaren F1. IIRC it's also ride height adjustable for high speeds.

    And does it have twice the horsepower of the rest of the field? That's a lot of aero-deficiency to overcome.

    I've never liked a Gallardo until I just saw that gray one. Damn that's sweet. It seems like every Lambo from the past decade was some outrageously bright color.
