I found this pic on another forum:





I hadn't seen a pic of the two Lamborghinis next to each other. It's surprising how much taller the Gallardo looks and how much nicer the Murcie looks in my opinion. Lower, wider and more aggressive stance.

I much prefer the rear of the Murcielago... as i believe most people do

Any comments?

The Rear of the Gaylordo really does let it down...

BUT, only when comapared with the other 'arses' of its competitors...


Obviously they have designed the Gaylordo down, so as not to become a contender for the Murky...

In much the same way Porsche made a concerted effort to differentiate the Boxster from the 911...

Gaylordo still a stunningly capable car, but wouldnt Secure my £100k over a Diablo / 360 Spyder / Aston / anything this side of a Z8.

i agree with your preference, still surprised how similar they are side by side.

maybe not the best colour to show them off?

I didn't like much the Gallardo's rear at first but it has grown on me and I think now it looks better than even that of the Murciélago.
In fact those squarish/svelt Gallardo lines make the old-school supercar lines of the Murciélago look decidedly dated and rather fat and sluggish IMHO.
Am I the only one here who loves the Gallardo's styling ?

I still think the back of the Gaylordo looks like a Toyota MR2

Murky Lager for me.

I quite like the Gallardo - but to agree the back end is a bit fussy....could have spent more time tidying it up - as that's pretty much all you'll see when it leaves you for dead in the wet!
