In terms of sheer car-porn, it's hard to beat running footage of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder, filmed while tearing up the roads somewhere in the American West (it could also be Australia, but the left-hand drive car suggests that this was shot in the States). We'd prefer to hear more of that lovely 5.2 liter V10 engine's singing instead of the techno-porn soundtrack, of course, but that's a matter of personal taste. Either way, it's more entertaining than reading a sterile listing of specifications.
The LP 560-4 Spyder features a revised, smoother-shifting version of Lamborghini's e-gear semi-automatic transmission, as well as running upgrades to the suspension and a new, lighter permanent all-wheel drive system.
Deliveries of the €273,142 (US $371,666) topless Lambo are starting as you read this. The entire production run for 2009 is spoken for, however, so unless you've got yours already ordered, your 324 km/h (201 mph) top-down dreams will have to wait.

Just putting this out there... but since the sun's rising out of the water, that makes it the east coast. And the dirt isn't quite the normal colour to be proper Australian outback...
By the way, the car is nice. ;)

Not the American west nor Oz. This video was filmed in the Spanish island of Tenerife at the Teide Volcano national park.
