Destructo Report post Posted November 1, 2010 The new tranny should be one of the better attributes to the car, near instant gearshifts (correct me if I'm wrong but 50ms shift times is faster than your regular supercar dsg???) If the car jumps during shifting though thats another story. If memory serves me correctly, it's faster than the Ferrari 458. Or equal to it.

Charles Report post Posted November 1, 2010 I found a Pic of it!!!!! See Below: :icon_mrgreen: :icon_mrgreen: But in all seriousness, you guys that have seen it. How close to this is the new car? Can't stand that nose why the protruding air intakes? LP640's nose is much better looking. The Reventon may be extreme, but it doesn't have the elegance of the LP640, the nose and creases says it all. Will someone please use photoshop to elongate the air intakes on the reventon's nose make it merge with the rest of the car so it doesn't protrude as well as add an air inlet to the side of the front bumper (like LP 560) and lastly get rid of that crease on the rear quarter panel? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swil Report post Posted November 1, 2010 If memory serves me correctly, it's faster than the Ferrari 458. Or equal to it. Yeah 50ms is equal to the 458 italia. But I imagine the feel may be different. Single clutch still feeling rawer and less videogame-ish (a complaint purists always cry about with the increases in DSG and other systems). Might be the intent of Lambo to make it as such. Can't stand that nose why the protruding air intakes? LP640's nose is much better looking.

So are you saying thats what the new car looks like if someone can p-shop it? Whats wrong with video games? lol Maybe equal time, but u still lose time and power with a single clutch shift. Also, the balance of the car is upset vs seamless acceleration. People that want a "raw" feel can buy leftover lp670's Cant get to much raw than that!

So are you saying thats what the new car looks like if someone can p-shop it? After reexaming the mule, no, the mule gives us a pretty good idea of what the car will look like. Take the side creases out from the doors and add a smaller air intake @ the bottom of where the HUGE side intake is. From the spy shots, my worries go from the front of the car to the rear quarter panel where the bat wings are supposed to be. The lines between where the batwings are and the shoulders don't flow making the car look stunted from certain angles (the shoulders look too low in my humble opinion. Both parts should merge into a singular line. The bat wings should end where the shoulders end for the design to flow). The length of the rear makes this into a bigger visual problem since it makes the shoulders droop further downward. I can't comment on the actual rear of the car since the mule had a crappy looking camofluage put on (They better have it looking better than that its atrocious! The quad exhaust has me somewhat relieved) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Report post Posted November 1, 2010 Pretty much what we thought...couple hundred pounds lighter, sharper look, faster single-clutch tranny, modern interior, 700hp. Good to hear it's a haldex system, the diff feel will probably be greatly improved when power is adjusted between fore and aft. Sounds great, excited to see it. Those of you expecting more, hey, the realists among us have been warning you for over a year that this wasn't possible for many reasons.

DickSimmons Report post Posted November 1, 2010 I see nothing wrong with the spec. Other than the DSG missing, it's exactly what I would have expect. New body, new interior worthy of flagship, little bump on power, new modern chassis, and lighter. I don't really see anything missing from the equation. Every single part of the car is improved or new. What else is there to ask for? I think this car will be to the 640/SV, what the 560 is to the G in terms of performance. And it gets an all new look and interior tii. Sounds like a win to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the front and rear overhangs are much smaller from the mule, its good. Cant wait for the 3100lbs wet curb-weight edition!!

Thanks! If you don't like this nose, you won't like the replacement's either. Similar air intakes (marginally less extreme). Jagged front bumper b/w the 'takes.

E7ITE Report post Posted November 2, 2010 So of all the people who have paid a downpayment for the Murcie replacement in Singapore, is there anyone who has ordered more than one? Also, I saw on Flickr somewhere a photo of 4 Reventon Roadsters claiming that the pic was taken in Sg. Any of our SG members have any info on this?

If they can get the this new paddle shift to shift as fast as the 458 I doubt it would need a DSG, don't dual clutch gearboxes add a significant amount of weight? Furthermore it has the option of shifting softly (while equally as fast) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Report post Posted November 2, 2010 If you don't like this nose, you won't like the replacement's either. Similar air intakes (marginally less extreme). Jagged front bumper b/w the 'takes. I think if we merged the two attachments below, we'd be looking @ the new successor. Image two("The New murcielago") has the protruding air intakes on the nose thats less extreme than the reventon and resembles the Estoque. as well as the creases on the rear quarter panel. Image one ("Lamborghini Jota 2012") has the Jota silhouette and giant air intakes. If we can merge the 2 images together into one car It would fit the descriptions given very nicely. The jota mock up ( Image 1) would have been one sexy looking beast with a slightly more aggressive nose. (Still looks great, way better than the Reventon) Am I close on using these 2 images from the net ghost? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
