    Honestly, I like it but, I like R8 design wise more. Original Gallardo is design masterpiece IMHO. This LP560-4 is well just good design...

    BTW, new standard Apollo wheels are my favourite since Cordelia are horrible and I am not a big fan of Black Callistos...

    Price list hopefully this weekend...


    Kreso,
    What do the "new" Apollo wheels look like ??? Are there any photos ?
    I see most people hate the Cordelia design -- (I do not know why they are featuring that style).



    Picture of LP560-4 with Apollo's. Thanks to Isuk for the pic.

    ISUK,

    there was a misunderstanding. I do find the Gallardo (incl. SL) very attractive in white. However, the LP560's exaggerated slats and openings, amongst are a few less attractive ones like the air outlet in the front fender sides, are further enhanced in light colours. I neither like, seeing the above picture, the car in that famous yellow. The final design doesn't feel right, it doesn't have the same consistency as the initial design or the Murcielago's facelift.

    Maybe it's just me...

    The car is a true multipurpose vehicle. Now you can clear your driveway during the winter by just driving up and down with it .

    i found the 560 STUNNING , pictures dont do justice, i stood in front of it for 2 hours in geneva, i love everything in it, the reventon touches, (angles on front hood, pointed front end), the clues from the LP640 (front bumpers , rear tailights with the "nuclear sign) , the new huge quad exhaust, the marvellous engine bay.. and most of all the new pearl matt white color... wow wow wow i am conquered!

    What he said...Simply awesome. It took me a little longer to get used to the changes than Dimitri. But i guess my brain is a bit slower to accept change than his. Its a great car. Im definately ordering mine soon. I just need to decide on a color. After seeing the matte white, and knowing there is a matte black option, and seeing pics of it in yellow, ive become more confused than ever

    I hope Lamborghini will produce a Gallardo Reventon edition or a LP550-4-S.

    Dimitri,

    Yes, LP560-4 is stunning car but, I did not like few things:
    -Cordelia polished wheels will be popular in USA but, IMHO they are simply horrible
    -Black Calissto's are not bad but, again not my taste
    -new Apollo's are very nice and shame that Lambo guys did not have car with them ready for Geneva
    -neither Black or White are my favourite colors for LP560-4, give me Grigio Antares, Grigio Proteus or Grigio Avlon!
    -I still like R8 interior layout more then LP560-4s

    Otherwise truly awsome car!

    The pointy front nose is going to be ruined by a numberplate

    I REALLY like the new look though.

    If you can afford an LP560-4, I think you can afford the occasional ticket for not having the front plate.

    Even Italy you must have a number plate, why don't the Italian's use their brains and actually think about where these cars are going to sell AND number plates. At least with Porsche they think about it!

    I think I like it, however, I would be a little miffed if I had spent over a million dollars for a Reventon just to have been a design exercise.

    i was discussing the same issue with a friend today, i told him that 4 me there is no way i would put a number plate in the front, but i admit its easier to manage in beirut..a 20$ bill solves the bigest issue

    Re: Lamborghini Gallardo LP550(?) in Geneva

    Just got back from Geneva and fear that I'm now going to have to spend even more on options for my LP560 It truly is a stunning facelift and the rear just flows so much better than the first generation car IMHO. I like the ball polished Cordelia wheels more than I thought I would but will probably stick with Callisto's. The clear engine bonnet is going to be a must have on this car I think and the Sport pack which is all the grilles and rear diffuser painted gloss black also looked far better than just the standard plastic finish. Does anyone know if the black piano finish on the interior of the white car (door handles, e-gear surround, instrument surround etc) is an option or the new standard interior finish? I couldn't get a definitive answer on the stand. I loved the white car but then that comes as no surprise as I've had two in that colour already

    And Lamborghini did not disappoint in other aspects either....... they had two of the most beautiful women at the show on their stand

    The other fun highlight for me was the Abarth 500. Can't wait to get my hands on one of those!
