Murcielago successor mule spied again

 

Plus the fact a DSG box has no caracter and is boring compared to a seq E-Gear.

 

Not really related th this thread but the 560 egear is pretty good but dsg would undoubtbly be better in every way, corsa in the current generation hurts your back and neck if driven hard for a prolonged period, it can also unbalance the car with the harsh changes if the road surface is not perfect. I reckon the new car will have dsg.

is that near your castle?

 

nope, but it's 5km away from my summer house

 

Why do you confused? There is a F1 track.

 

that track is barely used anymore, the tarmac sucks big time there (bumps etc) this is the track to use in Ptg and the one that brands have been using to test mules/prototypes - http://www.autodromoalgarve.com.pt/

 

 

there's nothing about this still in Portuguese car forums, will report back if i discover something new to add

that is one lame pic. Obvious attention seeking publicity spam from car magazine.

early 2011 :eek3dance:

Where is Monaco Bodyguards? He knows everything.

Hes on a brief vacation from lambopower. He might be back sometime....

As of now, the only way a Lamborghini will get a DSG is if it will end up in an Audi too. I don't think they could ever justify the cost of a DSG development for a car produced in so few numbers as a Murcielago.

I thought Audi already had a DSG.....

They do... but not one that can handle ~700 HP.

use they Veyron's!

It will have a DSG.

 

 

Sounds like you´ve got a source?

use they Veyron's!

 

That transmission probably costs more to service than a Gallardo.

Hmm, Lamborghini said they were doing a lot of the R&D at their own expense, but I have a feeling it's far less. If that source is right, they've abandoned their own system for Quattro.

I see there Estoque exhaust!

Clearly just a slapped together mule for nothing more than drivetrain and suspension testing. Not even close to what the car will look like.

 

Looking at it more closely, it almost looks like the front clip of a Gallardo LP560 with trim pieces stuck all over it. Look more closely at the mirrors, doors, wipers, and windows. The front bonnet area has a thick cover over it to hide the body lines and headlamps. Not to mention all the other random parts like the Reventon engine bonnet and SV exhaust tip. I am really excited that they are testing for a new car, but we are still quite sometime from getting a 12 cylinder replacement.

So do you have some info you'd like to share?We won't tell..

The Gallardo A-pillar is the give-away, along with the non-scissor doors. If had to venture even a guess I'd say only 5-10% of what we can see from these photos will make its way to the final car.

 

Just a mechanical test platform as you mentioned.

Remember. The scissors doors are almost 100% certainly gone. The car will be significantly smaller and more Gallardo/Audi-like.

That would suck...........

That would suck...........

The car is not going to suck. Trust me.
