CAR interviews Lambo bosses Stephan Winkelmann and Maurizio Reggiani | Automotive & Motoring News | Car Magazine Online

 

in my opinion the end of the engine cover is to close end of the car. i think there needs to be that little bit of room like all other lambo's to keep that classic lambo look.

 

New information is basically the confirmation of specs posted by Autoexpress and earlier by Autocar. If you look back to their earlier information and news about Lamborghini, it was always almost a spot on later when official information was coming out.

Doors are just a part of camo, the body shape and proportions are of the actual car. Car will have some interesting active aerodynamics things, this all together with all-new interior and carbon fiber chassis is huge step forward.

As Roy said the car is very significant for Lamborghini, so they trying to make it as brilliant as it is possible. For example some sources suggest that topspeed will be amazingly high, about 370 km/h, speaking about acceleration the main target is not only the launch from the start and 0-100 km/h sprint, but also further acceleration to 200 and 300 km/h.

There is information also that first media presentation could really take place in June to make pre-orders coming in to build a orders base before the public launch.

Also, there are talks that Graziano DCT transmission could be used on this car, I do not know how accurate this information is, but I really hope that it is really so. The main reason why exactly Graziano DCT gearbox is used on McLaren MP4-12C is they are smallest in size and lightest comparing with others.

 

Thanks a lot for the info D, 370 km/h is pretty sick but I guess that's what it takes to be competetive with the new Pagani reporting similar figures and the F70 surely won't be far behind.
What I really like is the rumours about the DCT gearbox. If they really want to make the car as good as possible then I don't see any other option tbh. Please Lambo, give us lightning quick gearchanges á la 458 Italia!

 

thanks for new infos D55L
i hope they take DCT

i cant wait

 

There is only one open question about Murcielago successor for me and it is about transmission. DCT or no DCT - that is the question? I hope that they will go with DCT for flawless and fast gearing. Also, if the rumors are true we will know much more official facts in June, nothing is in stone till it is not official, everything depends on how fast they will be able to put the things together and to claim official specs.

 

looks like a bigger and slightly different LP560
