Lamborghini will turn heads

OK, so it won't fit under the tree. And you'll never be able to find a gift bag big enough for it. But when a gift is as extravagant as this 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 roadster, who needs a cover-up? The exterior may be pearlescent Balloon White, but this roadster's interior has a split personality -- or, more precisely, a split "cockpit orientation, with the driver's side in Nero Perseus (aka black) leather and the passenger's side in Bianco Polar (which translates as polar white). Under the hood, a 6.5 liter V12 engine pushes out 640 horsepower, enabling this roadster to rocket from 0-60 mph in little more than three seconds. (The speed tops out at 200 mph.) Even parked in the driveway, this sleek streak of automotive ecstasy has us pleading, "Have Murcie!" This one's available at Lamborghini Las Vegas and priced at $429,000. (You know what they say -- if you have to ask how much it is, you can't afford it.)
