New Lamborghini model

[hakka]

hmmm...I can't seem to find the spy shots section

[Damici]

Oops, my mistake. Go to www.caranddriver.com, then click on "Car News" in the left-side column (NOT "New Cars," which I mistakenly said earlier). You will then see "Spy Shots" in the middle of the page, towards the right, with "Lamborghini Diablo (Canto)" as the first one. Click on it.

Wait...I found another site with very good pictures..Diablo Speedway

[Damici]

Hakka,

The pictures on that "Diablo Speedway" site are from a couple years ago; they show a much earlier, cruder (less refined version) of what appears to have ended up being the prototype on the Car & Driver site (as of March 2001, anyway).

did you guys see that F60 on the car and driver site, that is the ugliest disguise they could come up with! its just a really stretched out 348, i can't wait to see what it really looks like.

The Diablo Speedway pictures are reminescent of the Cizeta Moroder V16T of a decade ago. Especially from the A-pillars forward.

Funny, but no matter how hard I try to look at it, that "Canto" in car and driver looks almost every bit as the same as the one seen in 1999. And as we all know, this design was announced to be rejected, for being too, hmm, how to say it...NOT-ITALIAN. So, and if this IS the new replacement, like, what have they been doing over these 3 years? 'Cause it sure looks the same car...
I'm still confused...

Let Marcello Gandini design a new Lambo for Christ sake!! The Miura, Countach and Diablo (well almost) says it all!!

[scumbag]

Will there be any Lamborghini new info coming from the California Show this month? Any valid news will be worthwhile.
Also will this 'retro' trend ever end? Prowler, Thunderbird ect..
What's next a Ford Model 'A' Ferrari?

Scumbag,

I doubt any knews will come out of the California show. The L147 is officially being debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in mid-to-late September, with a private viewing for some of the Lamborghini owners clubs at the factory just before that (in early Sept.). Unless someone gets an interview out of Giuseppe Greco or Vitorio DiCapua before that, then I really doubt we'll hear anything before then. (Except, perhaps, for seeing some more spy shots - hopefully)! :frog:

i hate those big rocket intakes, they look sooooo ugly

[48Valve]

I kind a like those, they would suck in anything smaller than a dog:silly2: . I also like the whole design, altough I would prefer the "Murcielago" desing as better (I hope those rear lights won't stay!).

[Damici]

Personally, I LOVE the design in the Car & Driver pics! I think the big rear scoops look bad-ass, although maybe they should be made a little smaller.

[48Valve]

But it's the front I'm not so sure about (the "Canto" design), it lacks agressivity...

[superposition]

It might not sell, really...IMO.
