2004 Lamborghini baby Diablo

[a007apl]

"Commonly referred to as "baby Diablo," L140 will celebrate Lamborghini's 40th anniversary with a summer 2003 introduction, signaling the marque's return to midsize, mid-engine supercars. The all-wheel-drive coupe will be powered by a V-10 engine, and it promises to give the Ferrari Modena a run for its money."
true or lie ?

This is very true. In fact this has been said for ages and in fact I posted something about this in another forum last year and it found it's way in here by a007pl

This is very much true, as you said it is to celebrate Lamborghini's 40th Anniversary and will be a straight contender to the Ferrari 360 and the Porsche 911, 996, 993 whatever number it is now!

Again no spy photos have been found or even taken as like with the Murciélago, Lamborghini are keeping this well under wraps until they announce it and not a second sooner.

perhaps, it is more favorable Murcielago SE40 or this "Baby" Diablo or the Canto!

AUDI SET TO ACQUIRE LAMBORGHINI

"LETTER OF INTENT" SIGNED

______________________

"The shareholders of Automobili Lamborghini SpA and AUDI AG have signed a

Letter of Intent today to enter into negotiations for the acquisition of the Italian

sports car company by AUDI AG. Details of the negotiations will be worked out in

the next few weeks.

AUDI AG is a leading edge provider of high value automobiles. The company

produces both in Germany and abroad including Hungary, Chino, Malaysia and

South Africa. In 1997 delivered around 546,000 cars to customers and the sales

turnover was more than DM 22 billion. Overall Audi employs a workforce of over

38,000.

Lamborghini is a world famous car producer which has developed innovative and

prestigious products such as the Miura, Espada, Countach and the current Diablo. The

company is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. It was bought from Chrysler

in 1994 by two investors:: the Malaysian Mycom and the Indonesian V'Power. After

a substantial turnaround, Lamborghini is now developing two completely new

supercars: the project 147, nicknamed "Super Diablo" that will be an extreme car on

top of the existing Diablo product line, and the project 140, nicknamed "Baby

Diablo" that will be a super car in the USD, 100,000 price range, both addressed to

two new segments of the market.

The two new models will create greater revenues for Automobili Lamborghini SpA

and, herald a new era for the house of the bull. Under the leadership of Vittorio Di

Capua, plans are underway to turn Lamborghini into a fully integrated sport and

racing car company, a target for the new millenium.

Lamborghini is entering the new millenium with a complete product line for

super car enthusiasts and the racing fans."

"I also spoke to Len Hunt at a ALMS race about a year ago and, when asked about the future of the S8, he spent a substantial amount of time talking about the new Lambo L140 V10 engine as an option for the North American S8.

He made no promises, however he felt at that time (again about a year ago) that this was a very attractive option for him given the characteristics of the American market. Since both the S8 and Lamborghinis are low volume cars, it could make perfect sense economically to add the engine option to the S8 at the time Lamborghini introduces the "baby lambo" L140 to North America in 2004 or 2005."

So will this "baby Diablo" cary a "baby Diablo" price???

[lambocars]

Hello,

pricing for the L140 model from Lamborghini hasn't been fixed yet, but it should end up in the region of US $ 125,000 whenit reaches the United States in the summer of 2003, official introduction will happen during the March 2003 Geneva Auto Show in Europe.

I've recently added some spy shots of this car and some new information about the specifications of this 'entry-level' Lamborghini, take a look at :

Hope you like it.

Hey lambocars, I remember reading somewhere not that long ago (last week in fact) that the price for the "Baby Lambo" was going to be an extra 15-20% to what was originally thought. Prices of $165,000 are being said. I'll see if I can find where I saw this and let you all have a look!

[Ando_Rules]

i dont get it is it like a concept????????

[lambocars]

Hello guys,

as for pricing, the price mentioned on the site is in fact a price given by the people at the factory in June 2002, but my guess would be that by the time the car actually hits the dealers it will be about 10 to 15% more expensive, with a price tag in the $160,000 to $170,000 range.

Also note that this car will be officialy introduced during the 40th Anniversary celebration at the factory in May 2003, when a limited number of members from the worldwide Lamborghini clubs will be invited to a three day event in Sant'Agata.

Kind regards
