unveiling impressions
here it goes:
i am not going to bore u with many details regarding the overall tour, in brief wee were welcomed at the lambo museum with the most beautiful lambo creations spread across the 2 story building. we were given badges and following our tour guide went t the design bureau (or whatever) next to the museum for the actual unveiling. we all passed a metal detector and were stripped of our personal posessions such as phones and cameras in order to proceed to the meeting room. in the room 5 legendary lambos welcomed us at the entrance: countatch, miura, murcie sv, and i dont quiete remember the other 2. then after a brief presentation we learned what we all already know :
700 hp, 7 speed 50ms tranny, "horizontal"(i forgot what it's called) suspension monocoque chassis and 15 percent weight reduction. the name will be unveiled much later and the pricing is decided upon today ath a board meeting.
i am in a hurry, but i will try to give as many details as possible in a short time in a random order
now to the actual impressions:
i got to sit in the car, rev it a bit and inspect it in great detail. the engine sound is not "mean" enough if u ask me, the rims are just horrible (my personal impression), the seating position feels more to the center, the overall dimentions feel bigger and the visibility is just as limited if not more. doors open slightly to the side, the speedometer is similar to lexus lfa (i did not pay much attention to it but i recall it was somewhere along those lines), the trunk is wider and deeper then the murcie but shorter, the seats weer electric, the car looks like the reventon from behind, side air intakes open to the inside not the outside (so we were told), the hood is slightly concave as we see on the test mule, the rear view camera and transparrent rear bonnet come optional, the matte yellow paint we saw would be around 20k over the sticker price, options list will be available in 10 days.
overall the car looks wider but shorter then the murcie, feels like the reventon. hard to describe the looks but pretty similar to some renderingswe have seen. when i have more time i will try to give a more detailed overview.
gotta go.

I just got in touch with bud of mine who was there yesterday also. Nothing new about the car, pretty much everything was mentioned before. He really liked the desing and the interior, the bench for luggage behind the seats is a clever move, seats are very good, start button is great, centre console in great, he liked also seating position and more room for head (he is very tall). He liked the rev note - said its even better than on SV he has now. And he also really disliked the wheels, yes they are something close to the Sesto ones, but he was assured that there will be other wheels available to choose from. Overall he is very very impressed with the car and Lamborghini can count his pre-order in. More details to come later today and tomorrow when few other buds of mine will get back from the event.

I am waiting for more impressions from buds of mine who are at the presentation today. Also I am waiting for trax and AndrewCH to share their impressions as well, if they will say car is a stunner, than it is a stunner.
