I'm gonna have a heart attack once the first pictures are released of these beasts. This sounds almost too good to be true but what else can you expect from Lamborghini than something completely mind blowing. I literally can't wait!

 

There are some kind of interesting news I have just heard about. SV and LP650-4 Roadster production is about to end early next year. Reventon Roadster went into production this October, but next January 3 Reventon Roadster will be delivered to Singapore, I have posted a link in other thread, this means that Lamborghini is on hurry producing Reventon Roadster and it will not take a long period of time to produce all 15 units.

This means that we can expect Jota to be launched next Geneva auto show, may be in concept form with production specs car coming next fall. Everything depends on production and sales of SV and LP650. If Lamborghini will close the Murcielago production run early next year and producing only few Reventon Roadsters, they will not care about SV market and can launch new model safely. That let us hope for a launch during next year.

Murcielago successor will be really huge step forward from the current Murcielago, production lines must be reworked as well after decades of producing old-school V12 supercars. That is why we can expect launch of the concept and than launch of production specs car.

 

In what departments exactly is the Diablo GT superior to the Murci?

Great info D55L!

 

Thanks!

According to Auto-Motor-und-Sport Diablo GT has better top speed 338 km/h for GT vs 331 km/h for Murcie. And better 0-100 km/h acceleration numbers 3.7 seconds for GT vs 3.8 seconds for Murcie.

If Lamborghini wants Murcielago successor to be successful they must make it faster than SV, not much, but still faster.

 

D55L gets some rep!

Can't wait to see what Lamborghini has in store...and active aerodynamics will be a welcome sight on the next-gen supercars.

Any word at all on Ferrari's Enzo successor? It seems the guys in Maranello are pretty good at keeping secrets these days.

 

I'm looking forward to see what both Italian houses have in store.

 

Here is the report by Cars UK, I rate this source as credible after they were first and only to provide the news about Reventon Roadster to the automotive world, at least nobody believed, but they were right. Now here is thier report about Jota/Urus program:

Lamborghini URUS – the FX70 killer

Lamborghini are planning a new halo car – the Lamborghini Urus – to be based on the Murcielago’s replacement, the Jota. Designed to take on the new Enzo – the FX70.



Lamborghini has been long on new models – for a high-end supercar maker – but short on new cars for quite some time. Sure, we’ve had evolutions of the Gallardo in to the LP560 and the Murcielago in to the LP640 and it’s siblings. And Lamborghini have been milking ‘Specials’ for all they’re worth, with cars like the Reventon Coupe and Reventon Roadster (which Cars UK exclusively revealed in March) - desirable though they may be – being just inflated version of a standard car. Let’s face it, the LP670-4 SV - which is in itself a Limited Edition Murcielago – offers more performance and drama for a third of the price of the Reventon.

But things are going to start changing at Lamborghini as the Murcielago makes way for the all-new Jota in the next year. The Jota will get a carbon fibre chassis with carbon fibre and aluminium body and be a bit longer than the Murci (as long as it’s not wider – the Murci is a pig in traffic). It will get an all-new 6.0 litre V12 with direct injection which should be good for over 700bhp.

This information has been around for a while, and although the details may not be exact we’re pretty sure they’re very close. But now a source close to Lamborghini is telling us that there will be a car above the new Jota – the Lamborghini Urus. Now you may remember that the Lamborghini Estoque was initially expected to be known as the Urus. But it wasn’t, so we’d sort of forgotton about the Urus monicker. But our sources are telling us that the Urus is very much alive and well and buried in the heart of Lambo’s development plans.

It would appear that Lamborghini are planning on making the Urus a Ferrari FX70 beater (the FX70 is Ferrari’s new Enzo). Based on a modified Jota chassis, the Urus will have every component re-worked to make it as light and dynamic as possible. It will feature a full carbon fibre body and have active aerodynamics. The re-worked Jota V12 is expected to get very close to 800bhp, which will give the Urus a sub 3.0 second 0-60mph – Veyron territory.

But we’ll probably not see the Urus until at least 2011, and it probably won’t hit the roads until 2012, although the Jota is likely to arrive late in 2010.

So what we do know about Murciealgo successor - next year the V12 production line will be reworked to start production of this car early 2011 with public presentation at Geneva auto show 2011. There were rumors about 6.0 litres direct injection V12 engine producing about 700 hp, CF chassis, absolutely new design developed from clean sheet of paper, absolutely new interior with all modern features. But what we do not know - what transimission will be used, new 7-speed e-gear of brand new DCT? Will the chassis really will be made of CF? Body design clues? Just thoughts, I really want with extraordinary passion to see this amazing Lamborghini.

 

Would love to see some better renderings!

 

Rendering seems too cartoonish to me. I'm with Darren--we need something of higher quality. But it does sound very promising.
