Lamborghini Veneno and Aventador

Following taken from Times
On Monday, Italian car maker Lamborghini introduced its Veneno supercar, a 750-horsepower beast whose $3.9 million price tag immediately makes it one of the most expensive cars ever produced, putting the $2.4 million Bugatti Veyron and the McLaren F1 (a mere $1 million, although they’re tough to find) in the shade.

The Lamborghini Venenos automobile, produced by Automobili Lamborghini SpA, on display on the first day

of the 83rd Geneva International Motor Show in Geneva, Switzerland, on Tuesday, March 5, 2013.

Much of the extraordinary cost of the car comes from its carbon fiber monocoque construction, CNN Money reports. While the vehicle is based on Lamborghini’s $400,000 Aventador chassis, all its body panels — including the various splitters, air ducts and diffusers and the massive rear spoiler — are custom-designed to maximize downforce and keep the car close to the road, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Ferrari Pile up, Big Dollars

Japan's very expensive car crash has been in the news and it's causing

quite an eyebrow lift... and no wonder.  Time posted this

“I’ve never seen such a thing,” highway patrol lieutenant Eiichiro Kamitani told the AFP. “Ferraris rarely travel in such large numbers.” The speed limit on that stretch of road is 80 kilometers per hour, (50mph) and it’s thought that some of the vehicles were considerably in excess of that number.

According to officials, 14 exotic cars were "convoying" to Hiroshima (this is the Rubber Duck, we got us a convoy) when the accident occurred.  Ferrari's, Lamborghini and Mercedes all
represented in this extraordinary accident and in spite of the cost involved, there were no
serious injuries (physically speaking).  With millions of dollars in damage (some total losses)
you must admit, to have no real lives lost or disabled says something about the safety and
quality of each of these vehicles.  On the other hand, it just makes the rest of the competition
a little more valuable by reducing the number out there.   

Countach Reventon

According to Teamspeed, The original Twin Turbo S Prototype was lost or somehow

vanished, making this a one of a kind radical speed machine.

 Not just hot and fast, but beautiful too

Woolly Bully....

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

According to its tradition, Lamborghini's new flagship bears the name of a bull -- naturally, a particularly courageous specimen from the world of the Spanish Corrida.  Aventador was a bull bred by the Don Celestino Cuardi Vides family that in October 1993 entered into battle at the Saragossa Arena, earning the "Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñera" for the outstanding courage shown during the fight.t

Destiny and the Future

A re-post from Jalopnik, Thanks!

They'll learn the most from the one that's still around after our doom, of course.

They could learn why a human would spend valuable family vacation time doing a solo blast across country in the dead of winter in a $500 crapcan without heat, windows, or a spare water pump.

Lamborghini Countach. With it, they'll know that at least one of them has been living on here on this planet

 A nice pair!

They will look upon it and learn the follies that lead to our downfall: our obsession with conspicuous consumption, and that many males of our species had small penises.

"Sir, we have uncovered the mating rituals of the humans! Reportedly, when they found a mate, they would bring her to this conveyance, known as a van. When the van was a rockin', it was a sign that the mating rituals had begun, and the rest of the humans were advised to not come a knockin'

They need to see what batshit crazy off roading can be on our planet.

Saturns, which will inevitably lead them to discover our subconscious fixation on the Uranus of cars.

Lots of good answers! Of course my answer is as expected as $kaycog's will be haha. The Stratos looks alien, maybe it will make them feel at home! It shows our love of hooning on all types of Earth's surfaces and it can defy gravity!

Toyota Hilux. No vehicle better encapsulates man's love of travel and exploration and also our inexplicable love of stuff. Plus there are Hilux's everywhere on the global carrying nearly everything humanity as every created. From rocket launchers and flat screen TVs, to life saving necessities and the funniest automotive journalists to ever grace the globe.

"OK guys, i think i got it now, there was some kind of military conflict on this planet, but one of the parties had drastically inferior weapon systems."
