Affordable Lambo Revealed

[ErnestM]

At Just $ 120,000 US, this thing looks very tempting. You can finally see it wihtout the disguises (revealed at Geneva this AM)...

Very nice, but it wont be tempting me......unless 1,3,19,26,37+48 come up anytime soon!!!

[plotloss]

Lovely!

In black with black suede would be ideal!

Matt.

[tuffer]

Ooohh just noticed the Audi alloys !!!!!

[FourWheelDrift]

Humm.....I shall call him, Mini-Murcielago

[v8thunder]

Gallardo, I think. Reminds me of the Italdesign Cala prototype. Is it a 2+2 in Uracco mode?

LMAO! Funniest thing I've seen here in a long time

[granville]

I'm sure it'll be fantastic.

But it does have the look of the latest Celica.

[v8thunder]

Latest Celica? Basis for impending replica, methinks...

Hmmm now you come to mention it yes indeed , strange i did not see that before

I was trying to decide what car it reminded me of, until I saw the rear and overhead shots of it in today's AUTOCAR. Then it became obvious it's an Edonis particularly the rear view.

[TheLemming]

Gorgeous, stunning and I waaant one. The big question is though, this or the new aston martin?

The AM provoked the same reaction from me, a quick rush to price up my internal organs for sale...

Then again Tuscans still have that affect on me...

Of course they are rather unlikely to grace my stable until 6 numbers come my way or I ever manage to overcome some minor legal obstacles in the way of my latest cunning plan to make obscene amounts of money...

Is it just me, or is there a heavy ressemblance to the Tommy Kaira ZZ-2 concept (as seen in the Gran Turismo series) or the new Ascari?

Cant see the similarities to the Edonis to be honest, that was hideous. Fast, but ugly.

[granville]

In truth, like it's rather enormous sibling, this wee Lambo will undoubtedly look sensational 'in the metal.'

When I saw a Murcielago recently, I was awestruck; clever money says this will repeat the effect on those fortunate enough to visually contemplate...

It's a dribble.

[ErnestM]

Well, our local Lambo dealer here in Orlando will have the demo in by September of this year. I have already reserved a ride so will let you know what it is like in the flesh (metal, whatever)...

I dont know about you guys, but I like it... maybe because it DOES look like the Ceilica.

[P*Ting]

It's certainly good looking. Not sure where they locked the ugly stick, but I doubt it got a look in at all.

Have to agree with earlier comments tho, there's something in it that says Celica to me. I think it's the back lights for some reason.

Probably just me. It's getting late.

Front lights. They are longer and skinnier than the Mercialago's when seen head on...

[P*Ting]

The onbvious similarity at the front is that they're wider than they are tall, I agree, but the back lights clinch it for me. The way they reach up to the top and over a bit.

[granville]

The latest EVO mag dropped in yesterday and studying more detailed shots of the newbie revealed even more compelling styling cues from the aforementioned Toyota.

This is, IMHO, not necessarily a good thing: I am left wondering whether design students the world over carry too much stylistic baggage in their collective subconsciences which inevitably impact [too heavily] on future designs?

I mean, the rear end of this thing looks like pure Celica.

Bring back Marcello Gandini.
