In reality its more agressive than on silver/black rendering and a bit different in proportions than in Jon's rendering or may be its just me.
In any case both rendering give the idea how the will look like, both are close. It is very hard to make a spot on this time, car has many interesting clues almost improssible to describe by words, its must seen.

Unless you've seen it in person I wouldn't bother as Jonsibals is practically spot on minus a few tweaks mate.

I think if these latest renderings are accurate, which all indicators say they are, then we can definitley see Audi's influence starting to take hold at Lamborghini.
The rebellious, creative spirit that spawned the Miura, Countach and Diablo is long gone, replaced by very safe designs that don't dare to take risks because so much of Audi's money is at stake. They dare not create a polarizing design for fear of losing customers.
No one can doubt that Audi has been a positive influence at Lamborghini, and the cars just keep getting better and better - but the original Lamborghini M.O. is starting to get diluted under Winklemann and co.
Didn't Winklemann once say that they weren't going to put the Miura Concept into production because the philosophy behind Lamborghini was to look forward not backwards? However beautiful or agressive it might look, the LP-700 doesn't appear to have a single original element to its design - this is criminal coming from Lamborghini. I'm sure the car will be a huge success, perform better than all that's gone before and appeal massively to the new markets that Audi seem keen to exploit - but old skool Lambo enthusiasts like myself are going to be alienated by this direction.

Funny. Designwise, I for one believe that with the LP700-4, Lambo is going back to its Diablo days before the tamer looking Murcielago and Gallardo. And this time, WITH the build quality and decent interior. And on top of that, the most amazing new engine : it's still naturally aspirated, high revving, and even does without direct injection. What else could an old schooler hope for ??
