This might be draped in hi-tech composites and exotic metals, but it is no modern, neutered, flower-friendly supercar. Unfettered by concerns perhaps, for its ability to fit in with whatever the future may hold for cars of this breed, Lambo has been able to let the big bull run free one last time.

They might be carbon-fibre, but those balls are definitely still swinging. This is absolutely everything a supercar should be: expensive, exclusive, mesmerising to behold and hear, and ludicrously, lethally fast. It's the end of the line for its 500kW V12 engine too, which seems to howl its protest to the skies as the revs shriek past 8,000rpm.

Congratulations to a very worthy winner - not one that's going to shuffle down from the stage clutching its award, to ask for another sherry and wonder where the years went. This bull will be hurtling upside down through the Pearly Gates on fire and ready to create mayhem and turn heads wherever it may go.
