Seems like Lambo is starting to fiddle with things. This is usually a sign of a major redesign on the horizon.

just like Ferrari
they morph the current car into a new car for a few more years, then a totaly new one comes out

308/328
348/355
360/430

only with Lambo every year they do something new and switch cars

When they start offering the highest performance the car can give, a whole new car will come up pretty soon.

I agree. It shows what happens when you use a committee to (re)design a car. I can imagine the marching orders they got from the Audi execs: make it looks like the LP in the front and fix the damn back end!. So it gets the "Darth Vader" look in the front - the easy part of the job,. But only having the R8 to copy, it gets the Princess Leia look from the back - no balance or unified theme in the styling. I wonder what Luc Donckerwolke thinks of their bastardization of his design? The LP640 was a good face lift, the LP560-4 is one of those face lifts gone bad . Not quite Michael Jackson, but headed in that direction.

And what's with the "-4" designation? OK, so you want to remind people that it's 4-wheel drive. How about LP-560-4-2-6-10-1-225000 - to remind people that its 4-wheel drive, 2 doors, 6 speeds, 10 cylinders, 1 steering wheel, and it costs $225000 (or whatever) to buy.

Ferrari didnt do that
they we assholes
they would wait like 2-3 years to release a convertable for the modt resent car then over like 20 years do VERY little to increase power or displacment
from around 1980 to 2004 they went from 3.0, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6L ONLY till LAMBORGHINI got its act together with the G did they make a HUGE jump to 4.3L and 100hp more!!! Too bad next to the G its still to lil too late
same with the convertables, Lambo had them out almost immediatly, guess what, Ferrari finally foud the ability to get theirs out the same year the coupe come out.
F*** Ferrari and their Commi ways and dealer games


I like the nostrols on the new G, not the center thing between them and deffently not the rear.
The LP640 was a GREAT improvement over the Murci, but seeing how ugly it was that wasnt hard, they failed big time with the G. The HP increase is a joke, at least the LP640 got 50 over the Murci
