A few years ago I had the opportunity to drive Lamborghini’s Murciélago and Gallardo models back-to-back. That experience, joyous as it was, also served to highlight the predicament most “full-fat” supercars still find themselves in – smaller, lighter and more high-tech rivals, sometimes from within their own stables, are nearly as fast, far easier to drive, and more practical. It was like that with the Murciélago… The smaller, cheaper Gallardo’s performance may appear less impressive compared with its bigger brother on paper, but in real life, on the road, the Gallardo’s performance potential was far more easily accessible. The Murciélago, by comparison, was exactly as the more extreme supercars have always been – fearsomely fast but unpolished.

The “New Lambo” Raging Bull
We have been following the progress of the new Lamborghini for months now, each new detail and every new spy picture. Now the most revealing spy picture has surfaced on the Internet and it looks like this is going to be one stunning car.
Previous spy pictures have seen the new Lambo wearing black cladding but in this new picture, the prototype has much less camouflage. Thanks to this, we can get a much better idea of what has been lying beneath all that camo.
The styling of the new Raging Bull draws a lot of its inspiration from the ultra-exclusive Reventon, which is certainly a very good thing indeed. One can also see a more angular evolution of the Murcielago’s design present in the new car.
Lambo limo’s green light
Move over, Aston Rapide – the Lamborghini limo is on the way!
The Italians’ fast, edgy Estoque is back on the cards after senior executives at owner Audi threw their support behind the four-door supercar last week.
Lambo first revealed the
model at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, before putting it on the back burner. But now, senior sources at the German marque have stated that the Estoque is exactly what Lamborghini needs to more than double sales, and gain financial independence.
But Audi has done more than simply comment on the Estoque. By unofficially confirming plans for its own A9 limo-coupé, it has also given Lamborghini the perfect production chassis.
Gallardo meets Reventon in a radical Paris concept
More than 300 kg lighter than a Gallardo Superleggera, powered by a screaming 419 kW V10 engine and possessed of a radical design hewn from advanced carbon-fibre reinforced plastic technology; the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is a glimpse into the Sant’Agata Bolognese firm’s radical future.
A quick glance will fool the uninformed into believing that Lamborghini’s latest concept is the fighter jet-inspired and ultra-rare Reventon hypercar, and while the matte finishing and sharp lines might add to that belief, the Sesto-Elemento is more Gallardo overall.
The extensive use of carbon-fibre in the Sesto Elemento (Italian for sixth element) in the monocoque structure, and carbon-fibre reinforced plastic for everything else (even the rims, prop shaft and suspension components have been fashioned from the woven material) means that Sant’Agata’s latest raging bull tips the scales at 999 kg. The triangular design elements are not just for show either – as the numerous edges and recesses help achieve excellent aerodynamic properties as well as cooling air to various vents and hidden radiators.
