    Paint = weight != Superleggera

    I don't think that 4WD would make it especially safe, compared to an hipotetical rear driven version.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    How silly of me. I forgot that shaving the paint off will save 1.256 pounds.

    Yes it's nothing spectacular, just the fastest road legal Lamborghini currently produced...

    An unpainted Zonda saves 14kgs, so I suspect it would save a similar amount on a Murci, so a touch more than 1.256 lbs.......

    Wow, very aggressive! However, with so many people not being able to handle "just" the LP 640, I have a feeling this model will be in the body shop for most of its career.

    Either you didn't pick up on that I was just kidding or you are also just kidding?

    Hobbyshopp was kidding, cyco was kidding, I was kidding, you were kidding...

    It certainly looks like you'd do well in the goat business.

    The 2nd part of my reply was kidding, but the 14kgs is perfectly serious......

    my god , what do they paint zondas with? Lead!
    Once fanboyism infects you it impares all your judgement.
    It's like being drunk, you lack common sense and everyone laughs at you.

    If you consider that, for the sake of argument, a Zonda is represented by two "sides" 4m long, 1m high, and a "front" and back" both 2m wide and 1m high - any areas that wouldn't be painted - wheels, glass, - contributes to the paint that would otherwise go on the "top" of the car.

    That gives you an area of 12m² to paint.

    Taking "paint" to be the same density as water, 1000kgm-³, 14kg of "paint" would have a volume of 0.014m³ and would therefore cover 12m² to a depth of 0.00117m, or 1.17mm.
