Again, the new Espada and Miura

[dinkel]

Brrrrr, waited with this one because I hoped for better pics (remember that yum sleek black one). But no

New Miura as well

[BrianTheYank]

new miura looks crap. god, why cant they just let one of the most beautiful cars of all time lay to rest in automotive history.

Hmmm, not a fan of the front of the yellow Espada image......looks like someone dropped something on the bonnet

Also, that Muira's not too clever. It actually looks a bit like the Ford GR1 concept with a lot of Photoshopping:

I want to see beautiful Lambo's again. The likes of the 350GT/400GT/Monza/Muira. Try curves, not angles.

Utter yuk.
That new Miura does not deserve to carry that name.
Espada is not great either.
They should try new names, so they will not be directly compared to their great ancestors.

I'm waiting for that 1100 Nm Audi Le Mans diesel thingy to be dropped into one of the new Lambo's . . . No!

[L100NYY]

Not keen on either one of those myself, they look......well.....dare I say it.......American!

The one in the first link looks too much like a Ford GT and the second one looks like a Shelby GT kind of thing!

Not really a successor to this now is it?

Sadly the sleek black Espada impression was an Autocar rendering.

The original Espada is a big car. Parked next to my Merc SEL and Cerbera, the Espada is about the same length and width as the Benz, but as low as the Cerbera. Gives it huge road presence. vast interior is airy, great visibility and genuinely space for 4 people and their luggage.

The yellow things that keep being shown (and anyone remember the orange one? - more like modern Jarama) are a bit worrying. Don't look big enough or stylish enough to carry the Espada badge.

As for "new Miura"... WTF?? The "new Miura" is the Murcielago surely? Miura > Countach > Diablo > Murcielago.

[egomeister]

I don't think either of those concepts have anything to do with lamborghini... they just look like other images which have been doctored with stick on lambo wheels and lights - both pretty nasty.

[dinkel]

New Lambo's are Audi's indeed . . . the last real Lambo was the Diablo IMO . . .

The original Spada is a masterpiece and one of the last real exotic GTs . . .

Next year I'm going to write an article about the full restoration of the genuine article: A Series 3 Espada.
Maybe you can translate it for PH, Dinkel?
The cars showed here have absolutely nothing to do with the originals and - I say it again - are not worthy of carrying the names.
Bloody marketeers with no real knowledge of cars are to blame?
Parasites of the marque's history.

Any excuse to post a picture of a Jarama!

If you stuck a small aerofoil on the back, and gave it some flared wheelarches, you'd have a little Audi Quattro. Did Bertone style that one? I bet they did. And they did the Coupe on which the Quattro was based. Neat little circularity there.

[dinkel]

It's a pretty rare car.

And again a Gandini classic.

Personally I think it's a bit bland and out of proportion, except for this one.

[L100NYY]

Oh God that Jarama 'S' is absolutely stunning. Not beautiful, but stunning in an aggressive get outta my way kind of approach.

I approve. Oh

[dinkel]

Her best side IMO.
