I don't know. Not quite what I was thinking it was going to look like. Not bad, but just different than what I was anticipating. It looks a bit like a rear engine Cadillac CTS . . . I'll have to ponder these photos a bit before really deciding on it.

It's more beautiful than what I expected actually. And hey, that looks like the Murcielago Roadster Concept rims! Aren't they the same? It looks smaller here.

This car seems to be easier to drive than the Murcielago. And it looks more 'friendly' to the driver, don't u think? It's more like you can drive it everyday (compared to the Murcielago although I know Murci is made to be a daily driver) However the Murcielago looks more fierce.

Those rims look to be a bit different than the roadster concept.

Perhaps I was thinking that the tail in was going to be a bit more rounded?

It almost seems as if they were trying to "tone" down the car from looking too exotic.

Hey I think I have proved myself time and again on this board for being a Lambo lover, that said, the 360 Modena looks better . . . I know don't hate me. I love all cars.

Again, not bad looking, different.

Is it just me or do the pics not look real, except for maybe the interior shots, the outside pics look like 3D renders, the shadows and hi-lights seem weird for a professional shoot. Just my opinion that's all.

If they are the real deal then I think it is very exotic and a true representation of a Lamborghini, exotic styling, unique and stunning. Good job Lamborghini, this car (if real) will kick Ferrari and Porsche into the mud.

The pictures do look a bit "digital" if you know what I mean. That engine is a gem and should surely give Ferarri and Porsche something to thing about.

as you know i have been in lamborghini showroom munci international airport on friday and talked to them

the employee told me he will go down to santa agata tomorrow(well it´s now past saturday) to inofficial introduction of the gallardo

so believe me they ARE real even if they look "digital"

[chocks]

I can't find where the gearstick is from the interior picture in that link. Don't this car have a gearstick??? Sequential manual only?

[raven1822]

paddle shift only or E-Gear as they are calling it.

[chocks]

But doesnt' sound interesting for traditional drivers

[raven1822]

I agree. I like a traditional "H" pattern manual. I absolutely love a sequential manual (on floor) like the FIA-GT cars.

Does anyone know if this E-Gear set up still requires the use of a clutch or is computer controlled ie 360 Modena.

I would not mind the shift paddles, but I would like to still have clutch control.

I am not sure but doesn't the new M3 SMG still use a clutch with the sequential gear box????

This would be nice.

pics at this link of the yellow gallardo just unveiled!

[BLU CIVIC]

the rear looks really.....square or rectangular

[raven1822]

I will say that the real pictures look better. The family resemblence can be seen in the front. The back is . . . ah, ah, . . . OK, I guess. A little to square. A nice round Murci rearend would look better. It almost looks like they are going back to the Diablo days.

The tail lights should be "binned".

The engine cover is all the business though.

Overall not bad, I'll take mine in Titanium!!
