Audi = awd technology in lamborghini
[quote=F1_Master;892756]Sadly, it won't. The price is actually shooting up $20,000 & Lamborghini has decided to add Valentino Balboni's name to it, calling it another special edition model.[/quote]
Actually in Italy the VB edition will cost 7.000 € less than the LP560-4
[quote=Kitdy;892768]Here are the weights of the various Gallardos via UCP:
Lightest to heaviest
Gallardo Superlegerra 1330 kilo / 2932.1 lbs
Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni 1380 kilo / 3042.4 lbs
Gallardo 1430 kilo / 3152.6 lbs
Gallardo LP560-4 1500 kilo / 3306.9 lbs
I guess it would be more ideal were this car lighter than the Superlegerra, but it also has a larger engine by 200 ccs which will account for some weight. It isn't really that bad I don't think. I also learned that the V10 in the Gallardo is undersquare which I find a bit odd.[/quote]
Sorry but those figures are wrong or reffering to different weight (dry, loaded etc etc)
From Lambroghini's press releases, dry weight for the VB is 1.380 kg, and 1.410 kg for the LP560, so just 30 kg less as previously rumored.
[quote=Kitdy;892774]I knew that the engine was Audi related. What about the chassis though? I know the engine is the heart of the car and if the heart of the car is based on an Audi design that takes way form the "Lamborghininess" of the Gallardo but surely there is more to the engine than just the block/bore/stroke.
Even if it is just an Audi (yes I know how much you hate Audis) this is one damn fine Audi at least - have you read the reviews? Is it really that bad that it and the R8 are similar?[/quote]
The chassis is the same, both build in Germany, then the G's are sent to Italy with the other components and the car is "just" assembled" out of main parts pre-assembled somewhere else, while the Murcielago is actually built in Sant'Agata.
[quote=Kitdy;892778]A few things. Did Audi since the start of the Gallardo program plan on bringing out the R8?
Why did the old V10 not share the same bore and stroke?
You didn't address the issue of design - if the Gallardo is an in house Lamborghini design, then is it not a Lamborghini and the R8 is the impostor?
As for Arnage vs Continental, I'm not sure that the Continental would be an o bjectively better car.[/quote]
See above, so I think the R8 was planned if not since the very beginning of the Gallardo project, right after its first positive reviews.

Lamborghini has AWD technology since so much before of Audi becoming the owner of the company.

Oh no, it's a common VAG thing to spoil perfectly good car brands with stupid cars.
[quote=Ferrer;892494]I think I don't understand this car.[/quote]
[quote=Kitdy;892763]Would this car be your selection in the current Lamborghini lineup?[/quote]

thats cute Ferrer! you not understanding the Lambo is cute. awww wittle Ferwer :p! if i had my name on a Lambo, i'd just put it on there for being the Biggest Douche On UCP! VAG?!?!?!?! whaaa.... :eek:

That's in [I]Italy[/I]. In the US, it's $20,000 more.

My apologies, I just read the press release, the price I got was wrong (168.000 €). In the release they say EU price is 162.000 € plus taxes, so it's 194.400 € in Italy, and that's to say that here it's 18.500 € more than the LP560-4.:o
For so much more money, I can see why people would be upset; they're getting "less" car for more money.
I wonder, if VB hadn't retired that Lamborghini would have still introduced this car, but actually marketed it as a model under the LP560-4.

That black is sick! :eek:
[quote=Ecnelis;893284]The colors... #1[/quote]
the blue one is MINE!
Glad to see Lambo came back with a RWD model....Any chance to make a RWD LP640?!
Ouch! 18.500 € more than the LP560-4!?
I think this is all about marketing, bringing back a RWD is quite a big thing for lambo....
