    Isn't the current lambo up only by 20 hp compared to the Gallardo!? The new one is supposed to push 600 plus hp, but still, having 100 more hp isn't a good enough reason.

    I think the Murcielago has 580 now compared to the Gallardo's 500. Okay class, can you say "point of diminshing returns?"

    I agree, especially since the Murci weighs more to offset its add'l power. But, there is something cool about the scissor doors and V12

    MUCH more important than focusing on 28hp more:

    "Shorter ratios for the first five gears..."

    "Shift-optimising 'Thrust' mode for e-gear..."

    "Firmer sport suspension, new Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres and revised steering for a sharper drive, too."

    The lambo doors are a selling point of any lambo. However, I sorta don't like the look of the Murci (too many angles.. it looks like a geometry class project). I do like the murci roadster--- that car is a thing of beauty.

    That all sounds like a big improvement, but I like the last sentence about the forthcoming 550hp lightweight version with just RWD
