There is a rumor floating around that Murcie successor could feature a CF monocell built by Carbo Tech company which is buiding monocells for McLaren new MP4-12C. This rumor was started by EVO magazine and now I am hearing it again.

Here is a link about this company:

https://teamspeed.com/forums/superca...rbon-tech.html

but Lambo is already linked in partnership with Boeing for cf...

I was actually hoping for aluminium rather than CF..guess not.

Partnership in research with U of Washington and production of the real chassis are two different things. Again, I am not the author of that rumor, I can not rate its credibility, such rumor exists and I shared it.

The Murcie successor will feature CF chassis, that for sure. Again, there is lack of more detailed information, but CF chassis is for sure. There is not so long to wait for official details will start to appear, so we just have to wait and see.

Of course you guys have the news before anyone else!

I'm one of those. Real men use 3 pedals.

I would be seriously disappointed too.

Only valid argument for me to reconsider my love of scissor doors, but I still want them.

You know it. I always told you that the good info is found here.

yes it's true.so as you said,we have to wait

I have now heard that the NEW car wll be a SC V-6 in order to meet tight DOT-EPA fuel mile restrictions..

What is a SC V-6?

I already got mine, I will post pics soon.

Pardon but what exactly have you got ? Pics of the real production car ?

Super Charged V6

Here is a Students concept of a Lamborghini. NOT the successor, but it gives a pretty good idea of how the doors will open. Again I am NOT insinuating that this is the next big lambo, just look at the doors.

YouTube - Lamborghini Cnossus student design concept by Viktor Filipchenko

Roy, are you serious? SC V6 Lamborghini flagship? Something does not work together here. May be it was said about Gallardo successor, that would be closer to being even acceptable.

What have you got, can you clarify please?

But please do not say you got the car in US before it was even built together at L-factory? Now that would be really funnny :hilarious:

That could be close, frameless doors moving just like I was told.

Cant wait for it!!!

Of course I am not serious..JUST really geting tired of all the rumors being posted and spread like school girl talk..lets give it a rest for a while and just see what happens..

I am used to trust you Roy, so you better do not joke in this manner :hilarious:

Totally agree with you though, that is what I told few posts above. A lot of wrong info rolling out in lack of any official news. So we have to wait and see for the first true facts.

Well, I was really surprised, when TeamSpirit teaser of new Lambo showed on many sites with information, that it is official teaser...
Let's wait and see, hope only a month...

Oh but this is the only time and place and topic for which I can act like a giddy school girl.

News spreading, hope to see - hear more soon

I have to disagree with you guys. Yes, it is true nobody knows what the car looks like and how fast it is but its these rumors that keep alot of us, including myself interested and excited and waiting in anticipation for the release of the Jota. If everybody on this forum just closed their mouths and didn't say a word this forum would quite frankly become very boring and lose alot of its appeal. No disrespect intended to anybody but I just wanted to voice my opinion.

Dreaming is a good thing and then sharing them makes for good converaation; in the end some dreams will be realized and others will be put on hold for another day.

I agree

Man does D55l's info get around the net! Just saw it pop up on the Motor Trend website blog!

Well I sure you all know this but Autoblog.com posted a teaser picture that was submitted to them. Unlike most Teasers where you can get an idea of the car, this teaser shows nothing but a glimpse of the hood and badge. Lamborghini is going to make us beg. lol

Hello
Can anyone tell me what is the car behind...in the teaser?

could be, nice find.

Lp640

I understand that the excitement levels experienced by the millions of Lamborghini lovers whilst anticipating the release of the next flagship model go through the roof. However, may i say that as far as i'm concerned and from what i have been led to believe, those of us who are owners of the current Murcielago's and the previous V12 models, may in fact be the last owners of cars that are a part of history that has defined Lamborghini. We may be owners of cars that, in the future, enthusiasts will be wishing never were touched, that in fact they were perfect. I absolutely adore my 670 SV as i did my previous Diablos and LP 640 Roadster. These models improved with technology but the same DNA was present in all of them. The unique feel of a V12 Lamborghini was present in all of these cars. I"m quite sure that the new flagship car will be packed with cutting edge technology. Modern chassis design, materials and components, electronics and a huge horsepower and greener motor are sure to be incorporated in the new car. But, and i choose my words carefully here, will it FEEL like a Lamborghini or are we going to have a fast and unemotional, super efficient, luxurious tourer. I make this post because i cant help but feel that we are possibly moving into the Gallardo type of car (no offense intended to Gallardo owners). The last thing that i would want to see as a die hard Lamborghini owner is a new era where effiency replaces emotion. Where one would ask "Where is the Italian in Lamborghini?" Hopefully the answer will be "It's still full blooded Italian"

Well presented and in time this may be the post for many to read again as there is no doubt that the times they are a changing.

Thank you

Shadowman

:respekt:

On the contrary, I'm one of the people who are anticipating this new era of modern and reliable Lamborghinis. No more sky high maintenance costs and road side problems..

Agee 110%..and after yesterday with 50 plus miles on my #12 Lp670-4SV on the track at Fontana..you could not pry this car out of my hands. I as well, no offense to G car owners...as there were tons out there..but it was like a imposter trying to catch the "Daddy" all day long around the track..still great cars and great performance..but there was little if any driver in-teraction required...as I think will be the next era of "Flagship" car..

Hitting 185 plus in 5th gear on the back stretch was a dream...and let me add..the 3 pedal car showed NO LOSS in performace over and E-Gear car..to be quite honest with you..IMO and several others..the only two cars that were ahead of the pack all day long..were 3 pedal cars...#12 mine and Mr V.B. who I had the pleasure with to pass others and stay up at the front in his 3 pedal car as well..I felt as if I was in an elite group...man that guy can drive..and it was a pure compliment to the car I was operating that it was one of a very small number of the 49 cars plus that was not over taken by Mr V.B....but scary as hell with him behind you for over a 3 mile course in several laps LOL LOL

I also enjoyed the "old School" laps I placed on my 1996 SV-R...that truly reminded my of WHY I drive a V-12 Lamborghini..

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sorry you have had a Lemon car...my experiance has been trouble free for years on ALL my Lambos..but then again I place miles on them and exercise them regulary..which IMO is the most important thing you can do to these fine machines

Thanks Shadowman and Roy for your comments. It's reassuring to know that other lamborghini owners 'get' what i'm trying to explain with respect to the next flagship car. Of course i anticipate it impatiently as well. I just hope that the unique and unmistakeable qualities that have stirred so many enthusiasts blood is present in abundance in the new car. I vividly remember many journalists who had their first drives of the SV last year stating that it would be a huge task to top the SV with the future model. I'm with you Roy you could not get me to give up my SV for anything.

Reading this makes me miss my '05 6-speed Murcielago. I know exacty what you mean about the spirit of the car. In my opinion, no other car will ever touch what Lamborghini accomplished with the Murcielago/LP line. Perhaps the last of the true Lamborghinis.

Everytime a new V12 lambo is released everyone considers the last one to be the last REAL lambo. People screamed bloody murder when the Diablo came out after the Countach ( Lambo was owned By Chrysler) and complained that the Diablo was not a REAL Lambo. Same thing happened with the Murciealgo.

As for the comment of lambo being unreliable, in my experience they have always been THE MOST RELIABLE.

totally agree! lambo is reliable. ferrari is NOT.

+1... before i became a dedicated Lamborghini owner i owned quite a few Ferrari's and they were totally unreliable. I still remember a 355 Spider of mine going to the service centre when nearly new 13 weeks in a row!

My apprehension regarding the up comming replacement for the Murcielago is based on the fact that the existing V12 motor is being dropped for what i presume will be an Audi developed V12. The evolution of Miura to Countach to Diablo to Murcielago was IMO a seamless transition and an evolution of an evocative motor vehicle. Now we appear to be starting with a clean sheet. I am only suggesting that i hope we are not getting into an era where parent company infuences dominate the charachter of the new car. If the new car is a 'better' LP 560 then i think it would be a tradgedy for Lamborghini. As i said in my earlier post on the subject i am sure it will be cutting edge etc but i hope that the italian flair that distinguishes Lamborghini will not be lost in the mix.

As with you my LP670-4 SV makes me smile and she leaves no doubt to all of her blood line.

I am excited for Lamborghini because it remains a fact that Lamborghini must progress or die and through the process of progressing new audiences are brought into the family.

The Gallardo is a great example; they are IMO Lamborghinis and are also a great example of how through progress a new audience was brought into the family; from a business standpoint all would agree that Lamborghini needed a cash flow vehicle to survive and IMO to keep Audi standing behind them and by presenting the Gallardo; a gal that is able to be reliably driven daily with only modest service costs it forced the other marquees to sit up and IMO change their “it’s an exotic that is rarely driven and owned by only the well healed” attitude as such reliability which IMO was way down on their list of issues commanding their attention is now at the forefront which in end is a win for all of us.

So will tomorrow bring another "BULL"; a visceral in your face gal who's drum beats so extreme that to a person they are noticed or rather a badass supercar adorned with the bull roundel; I suspect more of the later and yet through the years that which sets Lamborghini a part from the crowd has remained as such I expect albeit different that this component will remain.

All the best

Shadowman
