Surely Gandini (is he still alive?) can (could) claim a bit of (Countach) credit for the wheelarches?
Sure it's Lambo back catalogue but not like them to look anywhere near the past.

I'm just kidding! Must admit i had a look at your profile, your TT does look good. You picked a decent colour too.
Cheers Wheelman... I love it but of course now I'm gonna get slaughter by some posters lol.

It was one of those 'I'm just popping down the dealer for a test drive' moments. No intension to buy as I'd only 3 weeks earlier replaced my MK1 TT which was stolen as we slept. They'd broken in and took the keys. Anyway after the test drive I was offer a great deal, traded the car I'd not long bought and current car on the drive.
^ Bloody hell! They broke into your house to pinch the keys!?

As for the car, very nice choice. I personally think the new TT has better image than the original.

Yep, car security on modern cars is at a level that car thieves will enter a house to get the keys. They broke in while we were asleep upstairs. I opened my blinds in the morning to an empty driveway. Got down stairs, front door wide open. All they took were the keys, and only the car key... The house keys were found by a neighbour in her garden a week later.
The police asked if I double locked my front door (uPVC)... which I hardly ever did. He said if I'd double locked it I'd still have my car!

Not 100% on the car, but the forged composite stuff sounds quite interesting, and the picture of the section between the rear seats looks really unusual, somewhere between being machined and moulded...

What the hell, if you have the money why not. Looks different than any SUV which is a good thing, 600bhp and it's a Lambo.

They'll be back to building tractors before they know it to fish these things out of golf clubs and beaches.

I think it looks fantastic, nice and futuristic. A little like the evoque but with some panache. You'd not want to get mixed up with the range rover lot would you now?!

It's a shame Lambo are compelled to make SUV's. That said I think it's the best looking SUV I've ever seen, if I were in the market for a top end five door car and had more money than sence I'd consider it.

Looks fantastic. Pretty obvious that revenue from this is needed to fuel further Lamborghini super-car development. Will sell loads of 'em. LM002 has already happened. Will probably drive very well. Now quit bhing and go buy an Aventador if you're that bothered about the brand.

I have to agree.

The back end of it is probably the best design of a modern SUV to date.

I do wish it wasn't a platform share etc.

Why isn't the UK making more Super Ugly Vehicles for export to China and far east to prop up our motor manufacturing like VAG does across its european plants?

Jaguar Land Rover make one or two. Aston and Bentley are in the process of doing so.

Not sure if Ford, Vauxhall or Nissan build theirs here or elsewhere.
