80kgs lighter than the 570SL eh?

That's it, I'm going into the garage tomorrow morning and stripping sh!t off the Gallardo. At least that has a proper manual.

While I'm a little surprised with how soon this car is coming out, somehow the "hype" around the 560/570 cars hasn't lasted as long as I expected so something is needed to recaptivate people (other than 47 more "special editions")

 

Yes I agree with you. But remember this was ONLY a rumor.

I predict: same weight as a LP570 +/- 10 kg.

 

All the pictures of the Ferrari 458 and the new 458 Spider makes me think of the Gallardo succesor. They really need to come up with something special at Lamborghini.

The fact that the 458 is a HUGE succes will mean that we will not see the "Cabrera" sometime soon. I think that the 2014 mentioned elsewhere is realistic.

 

I can confirm that the Cabrera will be out in 2013, likely as a MY2014 car. I'm also told that it will make the Aventador look tame (*gulp*). Also, if we think they'll use a CF tub like the Aventador (logical considering their investment) then those 80KG lighter than SL might not be crazy. Heck, that's 250kg heavier than a Sesto, so it's definitely doable from an economic standpoint..

Living near the factory has it's perks

 

Good to hear from you mate its been awhile!

If you can a chance snap some pics the cars coming outta the facility...im sure you seen all kinds of LP700 testing around

 

From what I'm hearing a little bit earlier. And yes, it will be amazing, they want to make Italia and new Mac look not so well in comparison.

 

I hope it sounds much louder and more aggressive. The LP700 really doesn't do it for me; it sounds like an electric car at idle. It's so disappointing.

 

From what I heard, Lp700 sounds good once it gets goubg.

 

Ya, sort of kept to the "other" forum lately. Need to make an effort!

As for the A cars, plenty are coming out of the factory. I've seen the assembly lines a few times (they stopped charging me admission ) and have also seen the ACRC where they make the chassis. It's impressive.

I actually stumbled across an LP700 while walking around Modena one day. Amazingly it happened to be escorted by someone I'd never met but had as a contact on asmallworld.

Oh, And I hear more burbly V8 noises. I live 2 minutes from the Maserati factory, so that's kind of the neighbourhood's soundtrack

 

See any "A" cars in colors other then White, Black or Rust Orange??? PLEASE SAY YOU SEEN VERDE!!!
