    Transparent Bonnet

    Is this a new option?

    Re: Transparent Bonnet

    I dunno about it being new...i've seen pics of Gallardos with that practically since it's debut....though they have been few and far between, and they are rarely shown as much as the regular bonnet. But i have definetly seen those....kind of nice, though very much a "rip-off" of the 360(though still very attractive).

    And i think i read that it makes the car weigh more...though not by that much.

    No Ron,
    It was presented on one of the G cars officially a while ago.
    But it costs a fortune!!!
    Over 4,000 Euros!!! ($5,000)
    Shame because it looks nice. But not as nice as the 360 coupe IMO, because of the shape of the car, you can see much more in the 360.
    This looks more like the spider.
    Plus the Ferrari is nicer because part of the engine is red!
    Purely easthetics here, but that's what it's all about isn't it?

    Official price in Germany is 4060 Euro! I think that's just barefaced.

    Guys, if you want to show of your engine to everyone who is in passing, then you might as well make the entire car clear.
