It looks incredible. Perfect timing, so the R8 doesn't cannibalize sales.

The R8 will now be released with the V10 at 520 bhp. With the TDI V12 R8 at 4.2 sec., the V10 should be quicker - say at 4.0 to keep it from reaching the Lambo 3.7. Will be interesting to see how Audi plays the R8 vs. its new Gallardo. Either way you cannot loose.

Very nice, But they should have updated the Nav system to something like the R8's or a newer one from Audi's. the Old A4 system looks too dated. Other then that, Great looks.

FSI ftw, more horsepower and way better fuel economy, they should just have called LP 560 though

Looks WAY better than the regular Gallardo. the side profile is a bit weird though.

I've always liked how this car looks just always hated the fact that it doesn't come with traditional Lambo doors. You could imagine picking one up from the dealer & heading over to the "custom car shop" to get some Lamborghini doors installed your Lamborghini.

you're right. if i were shopping for a Lamborghini, it would be Murcielago or nothing. The Gallardo is nice, but there's something that just not right about having a Lambo without Lambo doors.
