    Opinions about my LP640 order...

    Hi guys,

    Need your opinions about my order for my LP640. Is has now officially gone through and I can expect delivery even before the end of the year! It will be 1 of 2 to be made for SA for 2007 The other LP640 is metallic Orange with only E-gear, very standard.

    So far this is what it is going to look like:
    What do you think?

    Quote:
    exterior colour: Giallo Orion ( special 3 -layered colour)



    interior : bi colour sportive black / yellow

    >>>> yellow only for the central part of the seats and for the lower door panel.

    >>>> as for the standard bi color sportive also the lower dashoboard should be of the contrast colour II, I had to put in the system the description "Tie interior", but You won't be extra charged for that. Are You sure You want the whole dashboard to be black?



    stitching on dashboard: yellow

    stitching: yellow

    carpets: black

    piping of carpets: black

    interior Q-citura



    options:

    transparent engine bonnet

    hermera silver rims on standard tyres

    interior carbon package

    carbon ceramic brakes with yellow brake callipers

    e-gear

    smoker version




    Re: Opinions about my LP640 order...

    My opinion is that you should stop smoking

    Re: Opinions about my LP640 order...

    Sounds really nice. My only suggestion would be to consider the 6-speed manual (if possible). I have heard that e-gear is not in the same league as F1 from Ferrari (which I didn't even love myself in the F575), so perhaps the gated 6-speed would be the better choice?

    Re: Opinions about my LP640 order...

    Congrats Mike... Again Do you have a pic of the color that you can post?

    I kind of agree with Grant. You may want to consider the manual... Just consider it thats all. Btw, whats the smoker version? Lighter & ashtray? What if someone omitted this option, what will be in their place?

    Hi Mike,

    I personaly would not go for the black/yellow interior or it would be too much yellow in my opinion. I would rather opt for a full black interior with yellow stitching.

    My 2 cents

    Re: Opinions about my LP640 order...

    Sounds good but like the rest say, opt for manual. you already have a F1 Ferrari and a Auto AMG... Just my opinion.
    Whats that colour like??

    Re: Opinions about my LP640 order...

    Spec's are great, but the color choice... I don't know... IMO the Murcielago is a kind of stealth fighter on wheels and needs a stealth fighter color. Black or this battleship grey from the LP640 show car.

    I like lamborghinis pearl white ("balloon") as well and it really suits the Murcielago, but white is a little bit out of fashion already IMO.

    Re: Opinions about my LP640 order...

    Ah, I forgot about the interior... nero perseus leather, grigio stitching... and Q-citura, of course (as you have).

    Re: Opinions about my LP640 order...

    Awesome Mike, congrats .

    Re: Opinions about my LP640 order...

    Mike, is tat the color zzboba posted?

    don't go for that color, it's too dull. car looks like a big powerfull ... bag of cement.

    Re: Opinions about my LP640 order...

    I like LP640 sooo much... I wish one day to be able to buy it... (We have the WORST Lambo service here in Greece... )
    The dealer is ...

    Mike S, nice spec, agree with Grant & BC -- I would favour the stick shift...strictly personal preference.

    A poor comparison this, but I used to have a Countach LP400 5-speed that was a joy to shift manually. Comparing that body of experience against my single ten-minute spin in a Gallardo e-gear hardly makes mine a qualified opinion,
    guess I'm a traditionalist.

    Color is the pearlescent yellow correct?

    I drove a current E-gear Murcie and I found it to be quite nice, didn't really notice the difference too much although the F1 system is definately smoother and better.

    I have very little yellow inserts. They will only be on the center console and shoulder pads on the doors. Nothing else

    I like the balloon white on the Murcielago as well, but when I told myself that when I buy a Lambo - I've always wanted it in yellow, so I'm seeing it through.

    I'm still having 2nd thoughts on the Q-citura interior, might look a bit too "old-fashioned"? Reminds me on the interior on my Arnage...

    Re: Opinions about my LP640 order...

    I agree. A must have spec. The Murcielago seats and interior look too plain without it.

    Re: Opinions about my LP640 order...

    I love the Yellow. My friend's old Diablo VT was Yellow, I don't think I could go for a Lambo in any other color (well, maybe Orange ) .

    I second Grant's notion of the 6spd. But I would say the same for an F430 or any other sports car really

    Re: Opinions about my LP640 order...

    Q-citura shouldn't have colour inserts on it though...


    Re: Opinions about my LP640 order...

    Amazing Mike !!!

    That thing has to sound like nothing else !!....



    By the way, I just camed back from a little trip from south of Spain....
