a007apl is an unknown quantity at this point
Maybe its a prototype called Urus
Maybe its a prototype of next "Murciélago LP700-4 GT"
Maybe its a prototype of one Gallardo powered V12 = no more Murciélago and the second car in lineup its a Estoque.
Maybe...

Yea well why don't you say it's just your opinion to begin with instead of trying to sound like what you have to say is the truth and nothing but the truth.
D55L, Roy and DJ have always posted rumours from very credible sources which is proven since their rumours have always contained a lot of true information if not even been spot on.
As for you, all you do is pretend to know so much more than everyone else but if any of what you've said in this thread or others is true is yet to be seen.
Personally I'm gonna stick with the info I get from people I trust. Thanks again for all the info D55L!

Thanks Ludas, I agree the posts are getting old already. D55L has proven every time to be reliable and credible, every time!

Dear a007apl, no one calls you a liar and no one wants to start a war, as you have said, of course you are free to express your thoughts, but please do not share information you have as an absolute truth, for example I never say information is sure, until it is official press release. KLD says it is Gallardo, I say it is very unlikely, because of proportions and timeline of launches. There are plenty of parts borrowed from current models could be used to keep the main style clues of the new model under wraps before launch.

Now let me share my thoughts on your guesses about what it could be. First of all, if the rumors are correct than Urus will share same or slightly reworked platform with Murcielago successor, rumored to be codenamed Jota, so it is possible that both prototypes are tested together, but as we know Jota will be launched first, most possible at Geneva auto show next year as a MY12 model with Urus coming only after some time. This means that it is unlikely still that Urus is being tested before Jota.

Second thing, Murcielago LP700-4 GT, or even LP690-2 GT, was rumored some time ago, but there was no sort of confirmation, this project was cancelled or it was another expression of wishful thinking. According to the latest information, during this year only LP640 will be produced only on order-only basis and the V12 production line at L-factory will be reworked during this year to start the production of the Murcielago successor. Even it will be launched, and it is very unlikely, there is no need it such hard camo, remember LP670-4 SV and LP570-4 Superleggera test mules were based on current models with minor changes only.

And the last thing, and it is for sure even while it is not official, there is no way Lamborghini would cancel flagship model.

Taking all this information into consideration, this is very likely exactly Murcielago replacement mule, judging by proportions and the timeline of launches.

We can all sit here and look at these pics and guess..I dont know for sure what it is...till it comes out to the Public. I have had reliable sources tell me there is one in testing, but have not confirmed to me it is this car...I have sent the pics out, but no answer.

One thing I will point out in defense of it being a possible Gallardo test machine..that makes me go uhmmmmmm

If you look at the tow hook on the front of the car, it is on the passanger side.

All flagship Murcies have the tow hook on the drivers side, while all G cars have had the tow hook on the passanger side.

Of course this could also be a new placement for it with the new frame..?

But I also have to consider that I dont think there would be a need to move it on a new frame, if it is a new frame.

Not to mention it would cause for a lot of re-writing and pics in the manul for the car, which in most cases they do not do, only update the new MY info to keep cost of re-writing a book down as much as possible.

Agreed, that has always been a huge downfall of the Murci

Only few things are still unknown, seems that all source do not really know the real situation or are very tight lipped about chassis, will it be bespoke CF chassis or aluminium/CF chassis. Second unknown position is the body design, only one thing is sure - current designer Manfred Fitzgerald is famous for creating Reventon and Estoque concept, so we might see something very agressive and innovative, but with clear Lambo DNA, also some sources are stating that Walter de Silva also takes part in creating body design for Murciealgo successor.

It seems that Lamborghini is finding their stride...really loving what they have been cranking out lately, and their future lineup sounds phenomenal!
