Just got back, 4 hours door to door from the factory to Zug 
Loved the car, it really is a nice modern fresh replacement for the Murci. Preferred the matt white/black wheels colour combo we saw on the new production line to the show car's matt yellow. The new shade of Arancio is a bit too OTT in my view but each to their own. It needs ligh shades, even matt, to make the most of all the creases and shapes. The interior is now good for tall people, with supportive seats at last. The stats, people have already said a lot on here, so I can't add to that. But the stiffer car, with inboard suspension, signals Lamborghini's intent as to how this car will drive. It is really nice looking through the slats of the engine cover to see the springs and Ohlins dampers (single rate). Importantly, something like 80% of torque is available from around 2500rpm.
Options and delivery dates still unclear. Mine will be matt white with black shiny wheels, dealer thinks it will come in July, but who knows, we are trying to firm this up.

Having seen the car yourself, would you say this car has an identity of its own, like the Miura, Contach, Diablo and Murci did, or is it just an evolution of the Reventon styling?

Bud if mine who was at the event ordering his car is matte black, he told that its a pure stunner in this color. So what are your impressions of the car?

From the reports we are hearing, most people seem to have liked the styling but it sounds like the car is a re-hash of bits and pieces of Lamborghinis since the Reventon. I might be wrong but thats the impression I'm getting - especially when people are saying the back looks exactly like the back of a Reventon.
This model should lead the way for all future Lambos, not using already shown bits and pieces from prior models.
such good build up

I loved the US spec matt white car at the end of the line.
What did you think?

Reventon was like a concept study and its normal that few clues from Reventon are used in the design of LP700-4. The style is very mean in my opinion and it is really all-new car. Now I had got in touch with both buds of mine who were at the event and they both confirmed that the car is amazing looking in person, there were only few who disliked the car and pre-orders are going in full spead ahead. Basically almost everything was discussed here, nothing new what wasn't posted here earlier.
I am just waiting to hear the impression of our other TS members who were there also. For example trax has perfect taste in cars and I am waiting for his little review.

I wouldn't worry too much - I don't think it looks much like a Reventon rear
