So, that's the new Gallardo. It looks nice, from the front 3/4 view, but, the back seems strangely confused, and not very well composed.

It's powered by a 5.2 litre V10, with 500hp! 0-100km/hr is achieved in a riotous 4.3 seconds (official claim, but, probably 0.3 seconds quicker), and races on to 290km/hr.

But, I'll have a Murciélago or a Diablo before one of these, thanks.. I have a preference for the Lamborghini 12 cylinder engine.

Supercars.net does have an interior pic, but, as a premium image, that you must pay for.. :rolleyes: I must have a talk to Lamborghini about that.. ;)

Yeah thatz meant to be a Ferrari 360 Competitor so wat u excpect? Itz Audi sourced as well from wat I read in the age.

So long as it goes like a proper Lambo should, and sounds good, and has that big explosive sort of acceleration, the moment you floor the throttle, it'll be good.

At the apparent 1400kg weight, it will probably be more easy to handle for less experienced drivers, too. The Murciélago is pretty good at getting through turns quickly, but, it can get nasty, if you are ham-fisted with it.

I do like the Murciélago Roadster, however. It has a really really mean, "don't you dare mess with me" sort of look. It looks angry, even. Not many cars have that sort of visual appearance of such extreme aggression.

i'd rather take a 2003 viper srt-4 and save some hundred thousand dollars. or a super tuned lancer or skyline

[VQ]

Blackice: yes but would a skyline or Lancer have a warrenty after u do all the mods and make it safe for raod use? WOuld it be legal? and most of all would it be different from ne one else ont he raod with a Tuned Lancer or Skyline? I ewman really everyone thinks the Skylines and Lancersa "Sik" But there not I mean none of them are legal, none of the bodykits actully improve the cars Aerodynamic drag or ne thing really.

I like that better than the murcielago! I've seen a real murcielago too... yeah, thats one nice looking car.

[Radical-Al]

VQcapricedude, was that ebonics?

[DJC-Grafix]

it looks tiny,

the murci is better in shape, imo ;)

[blackice111288]

i aint tryin to dis u or nothin, vq, but your last post just proves that you dont know nuthin about cars.

my only question is who in america has a skyline or a lancer? only a few. so i think i would be pretty dogone different with a skyline gtr or a lancer evo7. and bump bein different, both of those cars run13's in the 1/4 mile and the lancer is a inline 4 turbo that puts out 300 bhp. If you want to do mods, then obviosly you dont care about no warranty.

And since when did turbo and intercooler upgrades, valve and power train mods become not street legal? or do you even know what those are? probably not, seein that u say that no body kits create down force or improved aerodynamics. why dont you check with real car tuners like mugen, hks, blitz, veilside(just to name a few, check the ones in europe)and see their wind tunnel tested results before you say some thin stupid again. oh, and in case you probably didn't know, you dont inprove drag coefficients, you decrease them. what is Sik? and no that aint ebonics fo shizzle. you might have to be Black to use and understnd ebonics:whistle: hint hint, like me

[VQ]

remeber black ice ur in a Little place called "america" and I'm in a little palce called "Australia" and if u went to Aus u would be saying wat I'm saying but ur not. "sik" is a term used by Wogs to mean cool or something and wogs are Greeks, Lebo's, Italians and stuff BTW.
I wasn't talking about turbo and intercooler upgrades and stuff but the exaust mods with the 5 inch tips ARE illegal and annoying as far as I'm concerned.
I was talking aboutht he bodykits that look like they could maine someone badly on the road if they hit some1 not the Veilside geniune stuff and other European companys.
Coe to Australia, Melbourne and see wat I mean then u wont be having a go at me.

[blackice111288]

sorry yo, i aint mean ta bust on you like that, i was just in a bad mood yesterday. i feel you on the "show bodykits". they should call them OH NO bodykits. its this one they got here in USA called "TYPE FEELZ WIDEBODY KIT" and they put them on civics and the like. itz a widebodykit. but it makes tha front of tha car like a train. that probably increases tha aero. coeff. by like .10!
I think the over-sized exahst tips are gay. it make a loud sound, but whats the point when your stock civic stil make 160 bhp. probably less than that, seeing that they is just making backpressure. and it violates emissions control.

[VQ]

I'm glad we agree on something.

[blackice111288]

finally, now can we quit tha disputin over two classes of cars that are both good performers and get along? im willin to if your willin to.
