Well, since the Frankfurt motorshow theres been a lot of buzz around this car, and after the initial “oou, ahh” phase had passed, I wondered to myself what the point was – yes I realise *me* questioning the point of a hyper car is assanine, but yet I wonder.
- Only 20 of them are going to be built – and duh, they’ve all already been sold.
- It’ll cost around about £900k – then again the price isnt the point.
- They only produce 650 bhp… eh?
Then theres the way the thing looks, hyper cars, as far as I am concerned, and given that I am usually always right, should make you fall in love with them; just on their looks (think Countach, CCX, etc.. now stop drooling). Ripping your face off with power comes later, like super models, honestly, you really dont care whats upstairs until you get past the initial (in the imortal words of Joey) how you doin’ phase – and hopefully that phase takes time to get past.
Well look at this thing, its too much, too aggressive (WTF am I saying!!), it looks like the bastard love child between a 612 Scaglietti and a stealth bomber… that said, I am looking forward to the reviews of it, hopefully it will follow in the footsteps of the LP640. We shall see… On the plus side, the interior looks superb (given Lamborghini’s usual standard) – Audi’s influence is paying off it would seem – oh and, Kenwood head unit… say what?! You’d expect something a little better if you’re shelling out £900k on a car, that said, you aren’t likely to hear the sound system over the V12 monster in the back 
I know this sounds like a bit of a Lamborghini bashing, and given my Ferrari links, it may well be a biased view, but they can do better, this seems a little rushed, and just a new body on top of the LP640. That said the Lamborghini only came about as an alternative to Ferrari, and they have yet to surpass the prancing horse.
For those of you that dont know the history, you really should read more 
Ferruccio Lamborghini went to meet Enzo Ferrari at the Ferrari factory to complain about the quality of the clutch in the Ferrari 250 GT he owned. Enzo Ferrari sent him away telling him to go and drive tractors (which Lambo make!) because he was not able to drive cars. Lamborghini went back to his factory, had his Ferrari’s clutch dismantled and realized that the clutch manufacturer was the same who supplied the clutches for his tractors. In his warehouse he found a spare part which he thought suitable, and when it was installed the problem was solved. The bull was born.
Right enough of my ramblings. More piccies can be found here.
