Lamborghini's new supercar - teaser #2

[clutch-monkey]

haven't they already said they're dropping manuals in favour of double clutch transmissions?

[pimento]

FUUUUUUUUUUUetc.

[Kitdy]

Whatever. Lamborghinis aren't driver's cars really - they are poser's cars.

It was awesome that they did the Gallardo VB though.

[cmcpokey]

Whatever. . . they are poser's cars.

this. and why i don't care.

[Kitdy]

this. and why i don't care.

Ferrari abandoning manual transmissions is quite disappointing though.

I somehow feel as though Enzo would be upset (or furious) with this decision.

Then again, does what Enzo would have wanted matter? That is a matter for debate.

On the flip side, Ferraris are about speed with some passion and a dual clutch is faster. A Lambo is (or should be) all passion, and rowing your self is more passionate and involving.

I think it could be argued that Ferraris are about driving pleasure first and foremost; speed is just a consequence of this.

Lamborghinis are fashion statements - and basically have been since the Countach. They aren't made for people that want to drive; they are made by people that want to be noticed.

You could argue both things either way. There's a time and a place for a Lambo, and it's not just posing outside of a club. If I wanted a drop top super car, a convertible Gallardo would be more preferable than a 430 - remove the roof and it's not a hard core sports car anymore, and I like the howl and the panto of a lambo. But I'd still want a manual to enjoy what is still a capable car.

But really I want a 458 that's not on fire.

Disagree strongly.

Ferrari's and Lamborghini are both as stupid as each other.

Both are drivers cars. Its just that Lamborghini's look better doing it.

[Ferrer]

I wonder if all of this means the death of the twelve.

I wonder if all of this means the death of the twelve.

That's been a given for a while now hasn't it? Probably just gonna hang a couple of snails of the side of the V10.

[Roentgen]

Is it just me or is this "teasing" getting exciting?

[Commodore GS/E]

What about the rumors about a new DI V12 that shall debut in the new Lambo? If it's development was cancelled, Lamborghini would be the first italian supercar manufacturer to abandon the V12 which is very sad. Ferrari already said that even they need to build more efficient engines which kinda eleminates the V12. That would only leave Pagani with their 7.3 AMG unit.

Still, a V10 is better than nothing.

[f6fhellcat13]

Ferrari's most iconic twelve displaced only three liters, so there is hope yet.

This is kind of like BMW's (stillborn?) plan for a three-cylinder engine to me. Rather than hacking off a few cylinders, downsize the car and its engine capacity while keeping its trademark engine configuration intact.

I, for one, would be sad if all future Ferraris are Dinos.
Also, LFA and Viper aside, I am not a fan of V10s.

Carrying on the expanded hex design elements I see.
