The Lamborghini Aventador is the latest incarnation of the Raging Bull's flagship vehicle. With styling cues borrowed from the limited production Reventón, this is one of the best-looking supercars on the market. With 690 brake horsepower on tap from a 6.5-liter V12 engine, a carbon fiber monocoque frame, F1-inspired suspension, and performance figures that rival the great Bugatti Veyron, what's not to love? The manufacturer’s suggested retail price on this Lambo is a steep $380,000. Too bad they've sold out for the next 18 months. You really have to see this car in person to appreciate its magnitude.
