Smash Boy Report post Posted February 15, 2011 This is not the saddest part, trust me. Wait until the MP4-12C and 458 Scuderia are both on the streets, battling for the "world's greatest sports car" title, and Lambo is washing jockstraps in the locker room because their entry into this segment is goddamned 9 years old by that time.... Wait, there's no official new entry level Lambo in the next 2-3 years?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pockmark Report post Posted February 16, 2011 Look forward to seeing what the LP700 does do, how it looks, and ultimately, I have a feeling they will produce far more than the 4,000 and change Murcies they made. The pricepoint is better than the Murcie, and they understandibly should produce more to fund future cars. Looking forward to seeing what a 740hp SV will be in the 2-3 year horizon.

pockmark Report post Posted February 16, 2011 Also, they can do significant body changes, throw in a 5.5-5.7 liter V-10 at 600+hp, improve/change interior/ergonomics/technology, engineer a DSG gearbox for it, and it will compete with both cars stock vs. Stock. Use the existing chassis. The diablo chassis was used for 20 years. I see them doing the same with the G. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SV will always come in at the END of the model range, not in the first 2-3 years.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuisGT3 Report post Posted February 16, 2011 the 458 scuderia will have the same price as the lp700 And it will out perform it and hold it's value better over the years. Now that's a sad thought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Report post Posted February 17, 2011 I've seen the lp700 and I would still take a 458 Scuderia/Stradale over it any damn day. From the comments from owners and people who can actually afford the car on the board, Lambo seems to be heading towards "Aston Martin" territory from a design standpoint. Their overall cosmetics are too homogenous throughout their model line. With Ferrari there is no mistake, you instantly know if what you're looking at is a 599 or 458. With Lambo even sportscar guys have to do a double take as their brain tries to figure out if what they're looking at is a Gallardo/Murcie/LP700/whatever...just like most of us do whenever a Vantage/DB9/DBS rolls by. Also, the generational design element changes from CT to Diablo, and Diablo to Murcie, were much more dramatic than it appears the change from Murcie to LP700 is going to be. No one is advocating moving away from the wedge, I don't want to see Ferrari's compound curves on an L-car, but it may be time to start taking some risks from a design perspective.
