Not yet announced for what i know. But this ride is made to be a direct competition to the Ferrari Modena, so i guess it's gonna be priced in the similar price range.

I do not like Lamborghinis very much, or Ferraris for that matter, although the 360 is decent. I am not a big "super car" fan; about the only one that really gets my juices flowing is the McLaren F1. I much prefer kit cars.

It should be nice when they take it out of the box.

They already have?!

Ah - I was wondering what had happened to the car.

I guess the crate was a little tight fit.

What an ugly car.

The other thing is: Lamborghinis all sound like farting hornets. (We get various supercars here in the red-light district, where I live - pimp-mobiles.)

Best-sounding car I've heard so far:

Alfa Romeo GT 1600 Junior.

Closely followed by a number of HUGE gas-guzzling 60's & 70's US cars.

I also tend to rather like Ferraris.

Who the hell is designing these things? The Murcielago, the Gallardo... they look like crap.
Come on...

G4ME · Mar 6, 2003, 12:17 AM

i would never buy a car that expensive no matter how much money had, just not pratical.

scaught · Mar 6, 2003, 12:28 AM

There is only one dealer in Hong Kong that sells Lamborghinis, and they've had a long waiting list for the Gallardo even BEFORE the official image published. They liked the idea of a Baby Lamborghini... er...

To join the queue, you need to put down 10% of the estimated total, that 10% == $25,000 USD.

These people are crazy.

I love the new styling, much like the Stealth bomber look.

That said Lambos are down on the list of my favorite super exotics, give me a Bugatti Veyron anyday of the week

I'd hit it!

Love the Gallardo, too.

Then also the sort of people trying to pronounce them "Lambordschini". :-)

PB.

maxelson · Mar 6, 2003, 09:20 AM

Well, I suppose the Lambo is pretty nice... but, really, those floor mats are a deal breaker...

boardsurfer · Mar 6, 2003, 12:25 PM

You guys really think that car is ugly?! I totally dig it. In addition to the steering wheel, I now think the whole dash console is hideous. Looks like its from a dusty 80's Subaru. You would think the dash and gauges would have a more refined look to them.

imaxxedout · Mar 6, 2003, 12:33 PM

I'd rather have a 911. ANY 911.

Yup. It's ugly. It looks like a Lotus Esprit knock-off with a Camero interior. Ugh!

In the supercar league, I'm kind of partial to Aston-Martins myself. I don't really care if some Ferrari can outperform one.

If there are any generous millionaires around, my birthday is coming up.

Okay.

You *really* can't argue with that. Gorgeous.

sek929 · Mar 6, 2003, 01:08 PM

Aston Martin can certainly make a beautiful car, no doubt about that. Those things just ooze elegance.

Lambos best car design was the Diablo IMO though, just so....evil

Evil == 80's ?

imaxxedout · Mar 6, 2003, 01:59 PM

No. The Diablo is 90s.

The countach is 80s.

Duh.

Duh.

And the styling is basically 70s i.e. fuggly.

ShortcutToMoncton · Mar 6, 2003, 05:17 PM

Man, I love that lambo. It's just so bad@ss. No curves...you either go all curve (Bugatti) or none (Lambo), not a halfbreed like that new Porsche in the other thread....

I guess that way you've got a bit of variety. Not as dirty as the tailpipe also.

The Lamb is nice though.
