Thanks Chris!
Why didn't you tell us that you were going there? Half of Rennteam would have been able to meet up there...
It looks quite interesting to me to compare the Gallardo's clear enginecover with the one on the F430. The later's looks much better - especially the engine itself looks like a vital part of it. In the Gallardo it looks as if this feature was offered with a side-view on long-time rival Ferrari. The engine looks more like in a shopping window - apart from that great car - especially in the revised edition!

Chris, many thanks for the great photos.
Hear any interesting chatter @Frankfurt? Esp re:
F-600 Imola's hp and release date? 430CS release date?
P-DSG launch timing?
M-Any S600 w/AMG body kit shown? Are there not V12 badges on sides of new S600? Any talk of a Merc Exclusive program (I ask as there's a new '06 SL65 on ebay w/yellow stitching on blk leather)?
Thx again.

Well,
Ferrari used some wire gauze in the engine lid's opening on their prior cars, it was a more or less logical step to put a heat-resistent glass panel in this place. The engine and its "presentation" makes the panel look like an integral part in there.
On the Lambo it looks like some CEO member liked the idea on the 360 and forced Lambo employees to adapt it to their own car - i just doesn't look right and costs a ridiculous amount of money in my eyes...
