Aug 28 2008A Chrome Lamborghini: Sure To Turn Heads, Blind Other Motorists And Cause Accidents
First the gold Porsche, then the Burberry Maserati and chrome Ferrari, and now, another chrome-dome, but this time a Lamborghini Murcielgo LP640. And it's for sale here if you want it, but it'll set you back around 622,000 coconuts. Which, if you were the professor, would make one helluva lot of radios. And speaking of coconuts, fun fact: coconut milk, despite its name, doesn't come from a woman's teat. Long story short: my girlfriend tricked me into getting her pregnant.
Hit the jump for several more of the shiny speed demon.

#7: reviving the "old" thing are ya'?
Eh, it cycles on here. The "frists" and the "old" and "lame," etc. It was bound to happen.
I like the LP640...cool car and all, but I don't know about the chrome crap. Many of these cars come with carbon fiber bodies...chroming them is simply stupid for practicality...for looks...I wouldn't do it o it's unappealing, but I'm sure others like it.

"I've got a love-ily bunch of coconuts."
...and I just traded it for a coconut full of beer.
Okay. I got nothing. Sorry.
And what the hell was up with you today popadopolis. I do commend you for sticking to what seemed to be what one could loosely call, "a plan."

Yeah but with this car you'll get people that a) stare at it because they're jealous and because their car sucks, b) stare at it because they love the chrome finish, and c) stare at it because they're self-absorbed and love looking at themselves...
Too many people staring at my car, I'll stick with my wagon (literally just a red wagon, the thing is BADASS).

i actually thinks this looks pretty damn good!! it's a definite head turner.
20. rob - August 29, 2008 7:44 AM
i wonder what would happen if u had the flash on the camera while taking pics of this car.
instant blindness!
21. Amaranth - August 29, 2008 9:06 AM
It's chrome but not as reflective as the other one's I have seen. This one looks more reasonably "shiny" then the previous. Nevertheless I wouldn't mind rocking one of these rides. Unfortunately, most of us have to wait and see another rapper riding it around in their cheesy music videos about money and hoes.

No seriously, has anyone of you seen KUNG POW!! Whatever that is.
24. Mcfeely Smackup - August 29, 2008 12:12 PM
I don't get it.
If that's chrome, it's the dullest, least reflective chrome job I've ever seen on anything. It looks like glossy silver paint, I've seen better reflection in freshly waxed black paint.

It doesn't look real, as in I doubt that it's actually a lamborghini. The front end looks like it's too high and the wheelbase looks too short. Either some weird angle/lens, or it's a Fiero with a kit. :-P

Chrome cars are old news. Some aftermarket tuner took a Nissan Skyine(R34) and completely chromed it. Just google search chrome skyline. Old, unoriginal idea, just a nicer car.
27. cinndave - August 30, 2008 3:16 PM
Actually looks really good with the black trim. Reminds me of the Delorean! I would totally show bring this to an auto show and show off just to be a jerk lol.
