That is nice!!!!!!!! THe rear is a little iffy though. I wish they would have put a grill instead of steel mesh under the rear taillights. The "wings" are cool. Although if I had to pick, i'd rather have a spoiler. Oh well, I like it more than the diablo, thats for sure. ------------------

Ugly piece of sh!t. I think the back is pretty ugly, but the front is alright.------------------

Well I must say its unlike anything I've ever seen before. I like it, especially the exhaust. Pretty impresive  ------------------

so this is the final version....well, its the best looking so far,
The front end and side looks great , but the rear end is just plain wrong, they need to work something here...
About the wings, well I think those are good as long as they keep the car stable at high-speed and are nost just fancy ------------------

Well I still don't know about this new one. I'd like to get find some more detailed performance specs (and like to see it put up against the Ferrari F-60 some time). Don't like the rounded tail and the wings are neat and probably much better for the aerodynamics on this car than a spoiler will be. After all, Lamborghinis look good, but they're made for speed. And they don't want to repeat Mercedes' mistake with cars flipping at high speeds. Still like the Diablo VT Roadster and SV better though, but this will grow on me I bet.

I swear I've seen that front end on another car before. I wish they'd made the headlights a bit shorter; they'd look almost Countach-esque. The back is good, and it looks almost exactly like the latest spy pic in R&T, sans camouflage.I'm still trying to decide if I'm impressed. ------------------

Not bad looking, but I was expecting something more aggressive looking.  Looks too much like the Diablo. IP: Logged |

Severely disappointing. A stylistic mishap by Lamborghini (and VW group overseeing it).Not as good looking as the Diablo was. Ridiculous wings, ugly side vents. The back is not as ugly as the total misdesign that is the front of the Murcielago. What a shame!! The only beautiful thing apparent from these pictures is the interior, which looks both sophisticated and sporty. Overall, the looks are most disappointing. I hope it'll grow on me. Ferrari's not facing a tough task making their new models (F60, updated Maranello and all new 456 GT) prettier than this. Even the Pagani Zonda looks better. ------------------

As I said somewhere else in the forum, that is one  of a car. Wicked. It does look slightly like the Diablo and perhaps a little Countash-esque, but theres nout wrong with that IMO. ------------------

It looks like a Lamborghini! Beautifull and agressive, and I altouhg those wings looked first little odd (well, it IS Lamborghini, after all) they look good. There are many styling cues of Diablo, Countach and Miura, I especially love the rear, it looks even better than the Diablo GT's, and the engine cover...like in Miura! I don't about specs, though. That 680 bhp sounds pretty awesome, especially, when there were rumours of power in the region of Diablo GT (about 570-590) quote:

Okay, I decided - I really don't like it. It's not HORRIBLE...it's just generic. Stereotypical supercar styling, with a few tiny Lamborghini touches. That front end could belong to just about anything else out there.Yep, it's a pretty big disappointment. Oh well, at least we know the F60 will be kicking its ***! ------------------

The car looks ok i guess, but is this a real Lambo? The front reminds me of the 360 Modena, for some reason the back reminds me of the Nissan 300ZX prototype, those sun-deflectors(covering the rear window) remind me of something off of an old camaro or firebird, and those wings look like something from a cartoon. I guess the car is not so bad overall, but when you pick it apart, it looks like a piece of #!%@. Then only admirable features of the car IMO are the wheels, and the exaust. ------------------
Does it get any better than this? 0-60 in 3.6 top speed 205mph, and built in 1989.
