Wow!

Ew

 

Wayyy too boring and similar to the current lineup

My opinion is, because they are testing the car's technical parts only (engine, chassis, suspension), the exterior of the car is only a shell made of Murcielago, Reventon and Gallardo parts, to cover what lies underneath it. The final design is not eaven close to what the pictures show.

Does anyone else think this has bigger wheels than 18"?

Also, it doesn't have scissor doors.. yet.

am I seeing what i think im seeing? a lack of siccor doors?

I'm not so sure scissor doors meet the new Federal proposed roll over requirements. Although, that would seemingly leave teh SLS in a bit of bind unless they are grandfathered in by a certian date with model run-end experation.

Here is worldcarfans article, they suggest Murcielago successor will be equipped with aluminium chassis, while credible sources here suggested CF chassis. Any update on this?

Cant wait to see what the specs of this car are going to entail.

the SLS door are certified and meet current and future standards. They have a special release button that pushes the door open even if the car is on the roof.

CARBON FIBER BODYSHELL

Brake-energy regeneration technologies..* translation*... KERS!!!

DUAL CLUTCH TRANNY

700 HP

when should be expect this car to be on the market?

Don't worry about the scissor doors. Looks like a 560 with a different body (Testerossa style). They are probably just using it as a mule for the engine and driveline as others have mentioned.

 

Don't get worked up yet. Too soon for anything substantial.

the sls meets all standards, what the sls has in tiny explosives on the hinges that go off when the car becomes inverted, then because of how the roof is designed, you can simply pull the handle and push the door out of the way.

The safest bet imo is launch at Geneva auto show in 2011 as a MY12 model.

Agree. Lamborghini will launch the flagship model at Geneva only.

I'm see hi res photos, and no Lambo doors...

Oh here we go again. Jump up and down and clap your hands little Lambo geeks. Start yelling ooohs, and ahhhs and that looks great, awful, stupendous...whatever.

 

Relax, its a goddamn test mule.

In the Chez article a side photograph shows clearly the door's belt line and a front vent window (fixed or not).

There's also a little quarter window behind the door. Yes there are camo panels yet maybe this door belt line and door windows are final.

Oh here we go again. Jump up and down and clap your hands little Lambo geeks. Start yelling ooohs, and ahhhs and that looks great, awful, stupendous...whatever.

I don't think they would make a non-scissor Flagship model. My only concern is that it would be DSG-only, (no gated gearboxes anymore).

Would be nice to see a CF chassis, as expected. Hope they do a really worthy exterior design. Don't let us down, Lambo!

THANK YOU!

Oh come on keith, we all know test mules look almost identical to the final product!

Like the enzo test mule!
