Worryingly, the best looking Lambos are invariably the first generation of each model before they ruin them making them more and more outlandish. Unfortunately this already looks like a mess. Hmm. Disappointed.
there was only so far they could go eventually until it just looked bad and this seems that pointQuite challenging looking. Wish they'd removed a fair few lines. Almost looks like a run out version where they've stuck EVERYTHING on, and not the first gen. Real shame as that rear has obvious diablo inspiration but it's spoilt by all the intersecting lines and fins. Rear arch reminds me a lot of the new corvette too. Some of it; especially on the front looks primitive and too flat to me and I wish they'd stop forcing that 3 pointed shape in everywhere.
Looks good to me.
I wish Lamborghini would take their nat-asp V12 heritage and expertise and have a crack at a Gordon Murray-style lightweight supercar with a V12, but I'm not realistically expecting they would. I'm sure a T.33 produces '30% less CO2' than an Aventador too, but I doubt Lambo could put something like that into profitable volume production.

The Aventador’s lack of cabin space was one of the most frequent complaints from buyers, and it is now appreciably taller and with more elbow room.
I'm hoping this is through better packaging, rather than making the whole car even bigger still.article said:
Although it will be possible to recharge the battery from a socket, the fact the port to do so is located inside the front luggage compartment suggests few owners will regularly choose to do so for the minimal amount of EV range
I think a lot of supercar owners will tend to plug in a battery charger/maintainer when putting their car away in the garage - these aren't usually daily drivers, and a dead battery can be a lot more cost and hassle than just £100 at Halfords. So in many ways if you can charge the traction battery instead and get the same benefits, plus refilling the few miles' EV range, then why not.article said:
What looks at first like solid bodywork above these in the style of the Murcielago’s rear flanks actually just covers air channels. So yes, a Lamborghini with buttresses - or ‘aero wings’ as Borkert describes them.
The Countach, Diablo & Murcielago all have buttresses, the bodywork either side of the engine cover running back from the rear corners of the roof. If the Revuelto has air channels underneath they could be called flying buttresses as there is empty space underneath them, as seen on the Maserati Merak, Ferrari 599, and McLaren 570.article said:
the doors - these being front-hinged, naturally
Most cars have their hinges at the front of the doors 
I guess vertically opening doors would be the general term. The apparent twist as they open means I wouldn't call them scissor doors any more. boozyjay said:

+1Bertie Basic original Murcielago for me, please. In a boring colour like silver or sand beige.

Nothing, absolutely nothing at all. Same with SF90. Weirdly totally opposite to 296 which is most interesting new thing for years from Italians.
Like I said all subjective but I bet this thing looks unreal in real life, especially with that v12 burbling away. I agree the 296 is classically prettier, almost has those old school curves that a lot of modern cars seem to lack but it has a turbo'd v6 in it which is no doubt effective but will not be as exciting as a v12, plus it doesn't look like it's gonna rip your face off. 
296 daily and this for the weekend?
Initial reaction is much the same as the majority here.
It jarrs
Its up there with the Urus as "unsuccessful" aesthetically
Less is more Lambo sometimes...look at the original Countach...
If you resort to, slashes, angles, design via ruler and "aggression" then you play into the hands of every other marque than can do the same.
But then, they know their market
The market that want their super/hyper car to grab attention, and this does that, in spades.
I am excited by the reveal and the stats.
But I'll take the most modern (manual) Murci please, as peak Lamborghini .......with style.

Do we know why they use Spanish words for their big V12s?
They're named after legendary Spanish bullsI'm looking forward to another 10 years of Brits/Yanks getting it wrong
"Reh-Boo-elto".
Spanish doesn't have a different sound for B and V. It's a B. Always.
