Meet the next ultimate Lambo!
These pictures give us the best look yet at how the raging bull of the future will shape up – and it’s set to eclipse the existing Murciélago in every way.
The car has yet to be given a name, but it’s expected to combine Lamborghini owner Audi’s aluminium spaceframe chassis with a carbon fibre bodyshell.
That will make it much lighter than the Murciélago it replaces – and guarantees stunning performance to go with the incredible looks.
Up front is a pronounced spoiler and fresh headlamps – but designers have reserved the biggest changes for the rear. They have moved the Murciélago’s trademark angular exhaust closer to the ground, while new strip-like LED tail-lights replace the current square units.
Power is expected to come from a 6.0-litre V12 with around 700bhp – that would propel the car from 0-60mph in just over three seconds.
The new Lambo will also be wider and longer, while four-wheel drive ensures it’s firmly planted on the road.
Preliminary prototypes have been spied near Germany’s Nürburgring track, but the car is unlikely to arrive before 2012.
The newcomer will also pave the way for future generations of hybrid Lambos.
It will be the brand’s first car to use efficient technologies such as stop-start and energy regeneration, and is a major step towards bosses’ plans to deliver the first-ever Lamborghini hybrid by 2015. For more details click here.
