New Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 VS Ferrari 599 - CAR Mag'

[lp640]

Anyone got the latest issue of CAR? How hot does the new Murci' look in yellow? Here's a direct link to a wallpaper from CAR's website. In the July issue they take it to the roads alongside the new 599 Fezza.

another one of these cover cons

not alongside at all - completely separate drives and no compariosn of note in the text

Lambo looks 10x better then the 599

What are those wheels? Those arn't the standard ones

They are the standard LP640 wheels (Launch car had them in black)

I thought that was a cover con too. I know there is an embargo on any comparison roadtests until June 8th.

I thought the 599 was butt ugly when I first saw photos of it, particularly those horrible 'flying C pillar' things.
Having watched Tiff test it at Fiorano on 5th Gear, it's beginning to grow on me slightly, especially from the front. Looks better than the 612 from that abgle. The profile is still very fussy, though.
Don't want to offend anyone but I do think Pininfarina have lost the plot these days. Sorry, just an opinion.

agreed - 612 from the front (not a good thing) with some Bangle flaming down the side

much prefer the 550/575

I saw a black one - it looked stunning.

I really think these are going to grow on you.....
