Well that was harsh...personally I think it's ok, maybe a few tweaks here and there with the overall design (and adding a rear bumper!) it should look fine.

Different strokes for different folks...

 

Only very few people even INSIDE the factory knows the new name.....


If you read my answer in #32 you will see this:

"As for the name I promise to post it up as soon as I have some info, like I did with the Aventador.

For now "Cabrera LP600-4" is only a thread title".

Lamborghini Gallardo Replacement to Share More with Audi R8, Will “Make Clear Cut” from Current Car
March 9, 2012 at 6:12pm by Erik Johnson

The Lamborghini Gallardo has been a smash hit for the company—more than 12,000 have been sold; the next bestseller for the brand is the discontinued Murciélago, at 4099—so it will be key to get its replacement right. We recently spoke with Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, and his comments, as well as information gleaned elsewhere, have given us additional hints at what to expect when the car arrives sometime next year.First, Winkelmann stated that the car will make “a clear cut” from the Gallardo, especially visually. “We always say that design is not an evolution but a revolution, and this will be the philosophy of the follow-up to the Gallardo.” We’d guess that the car will take on more of the menacing angularity of the Aventador flagship, although don’t expect it to adopt its sibling’s carbon-fiber-intensive construction. (Winkelmann: “What we have done for Aventador is not necessarily the right thing to do for a different car.”) This will help keep pricing where the merely rich—as opposed to the hyper-wealthy—can afford the car.

The next entry-level Lambo will ride on the VW Group’s modular sports-car architecture (a.k.a. MSS), which also will underpin the next Audi R8, as well as future Porsches. Stephan Reil, head of development at Audi’s Quattro performance subsidiary, tells us that the Gallardo replacement and the next R8 will share 15- to 20-percent more parts than do the current cars.

As for powertrain, the current V-10 is likely to be retained (with more power; it should near 600 horses), and will mate to a dual-clutch automatic transmission. As we reported last fall, there will be no traditional manual.

 

i am keeping my gallardo for a while. i didn't like the lp700 after looking at it in person. i doubt the replacement will be a game changer either. lambo is held back by audi with too much compromises to keep costs down.

 

Sorry but the MP4-12C is full carbon and cheaper than the current Gallardo, so what are they talking about? Seems foolish not to make it CF after their massive investment and building a whole CF plant onsite.

I've already been told by Lambo that the current V10 will not be used. It could do 600hp, but they need something better to last the full product lifecycle (probably closer to 700 by the end of it).

 

Retaining the same V10 from the previous Gallardo is a dissapointment to me. According to reviews the engine felt heavy and old already compared to the F430. How then can they hope to compete with the 458?

Personally I think the Gallardo successor faces a much tougher field of competition compared to its predecessor. They have to pull of something amazing if they want to repeat the G's success.

 

^^I agree with that last line Ludas. More quality options out there for potential buyers. They have to hit a homerun with this to keep up their success.

Agreed 100%, Lambo has to really step up with this one to compete with the likes of the 458 and the new MP4-12C.
