    Re: Murcielago successor/replacement

    @ggbh8, @HEIST - Thanks for the info! Smiley

    Yeah, these new gearboxes pretty cool. I still prefer the stick shift tho... I guess I am old-fashioned, but I would rather accelerate slower with the manual than have the PDK / ISF sorta stuff.....  Smiley

    LOL Fritz, I like the way you think! Guess we're having the same kind of humor. At my work, I have a lot of international collegues, which gives me the opportunity to deliberately misinterpret their words, or "accidentally" say things that can have entirely different connotations... one of my favorite pastimes!

     Cool pictures Gauss. This car is cool, just not in red.

    Come on Enmanuel... if you're too timid for red, you're too timid for a Lamborghini Smiley

     jajajaja,  I do like it in yellow though Smiley  its not a matter of flashiness, I just think its a very color sensitive car, the lines are very precise and sharp, and a bad color could make it look too busy or like its trying too hard instead of making it looks badass and cool. Its a thin line.

     Question: how do you get out of the car if it flips over in an accident ? Same for the mclaren what's it's name.

     That is something I had never thought about with cars that have upwards opening doors. I suppose there is some kind of emergency release mechanism you can work from the cabin, thats just an assumption though. 


    Re: Murcielago successor/replacement

    on the sls there are mini detonators that blow the doors hinges out.

    On the old Countach it was called a hammer (to break the window). I wonder if they have a new fancy name for it now like H.A.M.R. Smiley

     I'm liking the exterior from the shots of the gray car, but the interior   I think the exterior is so different that you expect the same "wow factor" inside. instead you get those cheap looking air vents. 

    I agree. An updated Reventon interior .would have been nice with that exterior.

    Re: Murcielago successor/replacement

    trip:

    My only problem with the car is the 1575kg DRY weight. With a carbon monocoque I would have expected better. Besides the AWD, why must this car be so heavy compared to the likes of a Carrera GT, Enzo, or Zonda? Besides that, love the looks and sure to have epic performance.

    From the first page of this thread: "Same rumoured specs are being repeated : 700hp, CF chassis, 1500kg kerb, big step forward for lambo"

    It appears all the rumoured specs were spot on, except the weight. Which as we can see it's about 175 kilograms off ! That means this car is actually heavier than a Lp670 with tubular steel chassis ! A big step forward ? No, not really.

    Neah, I think they just give you an axe instead ! Why ? Simple, because you can use it both as a hammer to break the window or, if you're to fat and can't fit on the window (which is pretty narrow even for a hamster to fit), to rip the door from it's hinges...or at least try to do that while you're being roasted alive ! In a bull. Get it ? Roasted alive ? In a bull ? No ? Maybe this will help you:

    The Murcielago 640 was rated at 1665 kg dry and was also 17 cm shorter than the Aventador and much less stiff!!! So yes, the Aventador is a big step forward in terms of weight!

    No it isn't. How can 85 kilograms less be called "a big step forward" ? It is definetely an improvement, but it's not spectacular in any way. Especially since they replaced the steel frame chassis with carbon fibre, which was supposed to cut the weight down by at least 200 kilograms, and some said even 250 kilograms. And especially since other carbon-fiber supercars weight muuuch much less !

    To put it into perspective, a carrera Gt weights 1280 DRY, an enzo 1250 DRY, a zonda 1280 DRY, this lambo on the other hand is at least 300 kilograms heavier than any of them ! And even if you remove the stupid AWD which is not to be found on any other supercar, except the stupid VWeyron, you still get a whooping 200 kilos more than those benchmark supercars ! So either AUDI is not able to design a proper carbon-fiber supercar, or they focus to much on luxury instead of performance, which a car like this should be all about. By the way, I think the center console alone in the aventador weights about 50 kilos or so Smiley

    Oh, and like I said, the stripped down Murci LP670 is 100 kilograms lighter than the Lp640, and 15 kilograms lighter than this "big step forward", which is actually backward if we look at the numbers :P

    I second this criticism. I cannot understand why the car must weigh so much more than other comparable hyper cars. The new Huayra weighs 1350kg with similar hp and features, at least as much luxury, DOT certified, with active aero and suspension. Sure its RWD only but 225 kg? That is a lot! Smiley


    Re: Murcielago successor/replacement

     And when you think that, by simply removing all those gadgets and gizmos that no one really cares about, but which contribute decisively to the car's weight, i.e. AWD system and luxury BS, they could easily achieve a 200 kilogram weight reduction (so from 1580 to 1380 DRY, same as a ferrari 458 Italia), AND CUT THE PRODUCTION COST AT THE SAME TIME, you can't help but wonder, what kind of guys are in charge with developing these cars, and why are they allowed to do so ?? The answer is, of course, the same guys that are in charge with making incredibly boring...er "safe und luxurious" cars, which is the synonym for "audi", and second, because they OWN lamborghini and can do whatever they like with it, even it that means ruining the brand, by infusing Boring Audi DNA (or BADNA, or bad-DNA) in it.


    Re: Murcielago successor/replacement

    Guy's leave it for the special ediitons.. Lambo will milk this chassis for a decade or so.

    We will see at least 6 editions on this car. Each slightly lighter and with 5hp more.
    Then maybe even a RWD with stripes lol.

    You cannot really compare a million Dollar Enzo to an Aventador that costs 1/3rd of what the Ferrari costs. The fact remains that the Aventador is much bigger than the Murci and is also lighter at the same time and a lot stiffer!
