Never seen that one before....doesnt look like the normal Cala...

[fedezyl]

Looks kinda japanese to me, to round, specially around the bumper, and that's definetely a jap trait...

[sportVeloce]

Never seen that pic before either. Any history on it? Is it a real Cala?

[mendocino]

Just a tough : It maybe an italdesign for those who remember it... of course with a lambo badge...

Hi everyone! I'm new here and I don't speak english very well!
This car is very bautiful,it's a shame it hasn't gone in production...but now we have the Gallardo,lots of magazines speaks very very well about it

[mendocino]

Yep, I 've checked and I think it's an italdesign CALA, not lambo....

Yea, it's in Need For Speed 2... the intro video for the Cala racing with XJ220 was excellent :)

However, it's still true that Cala is a lambo prototype:

1995 Lamborghini concept by Italdesign.

Giorgetto Guigaro used Lamborghini's earlier prototype L140 "mid-size Lambo" chassis and 4-litre V10 engine to build this fully working prototype. Presented at the 1995 Geneva Motor Show, the 2+2 "Cala" received mixed reactions. However due to Lamborghini's Indoneisan owners lack of direction for the company and internal dissent at the time, the Cala never became more than a prototype.

It used to be one of my favorites in Need For Speed 2SE. Which I still have, and install sometimes. It has a great selection of cars. Anyone interested in this classic? I could make an Image and share it on Kaazaa/

[AlienDB7]

My favourite is the Italdesign Nazca C2, it feels more nimble and powerslide is so controllable. What's your favourite track in NFS2SE?

I think I'll install NFS3 again and cap the intro video. EA used to make good intro videos with real cars for the NFS series... now, we only get the CG crap :(

My favorite track is Australia, what is it called??? The outbacks or something like that. The FordGT40(not sure if thats the correct model) is a killer on that track. Actually I think Im going to intall the game now :P

[mendocino]

Yes it's a cool game, including a lotus elise GT1 if I remember correctly...great game and great videos!!! I'll install it too :D

[AlienDB7]

My favourite is the Vancouver (Pacific) track, for obviously reason. Don't think there was a GT40, you probably mean the GT90 with their "new edge" design?

[AlienDB7]

Since everyone is installing, maybe I should too. Have yet to try the game out with the wheel, hopefully it supports FF for sidewinder. Stupid wheel doesn't have any resistance unless there's FF support. What wheel/pedal you guys use for the game?

Yeah the GT90

Nice setup you got there! How well does the clutch work? Haven't seen any review for a pedal set with clutch. The act labs set looks promising.

Thats so nice dude.. I like it..

Nice setup you got there! How well does the clutch work? Haven't seen any review for a pedal set with clutch. The act labs set looks promising.

They are great, the arent to many games/sims that support a fully analog clutch. From the top of my head F12002(plus all the mods, thats all I pretty much play), Papy's Nascar series, Grand Prix Legends, Live for Speed, thats pretty much it. And these are all simulators.
The pedals them self have a great feel, the way the brake pedal is designed is great. You have two sets of springs, and a rubber ball which makes it very hard to squeez the last 25% of the whole brake travel.
The throtle is very smooth. And the clutch is stiffer then the throtlle, but not as stiff as the brake. But I make my clutch very stiff since I like it that way. The pedals look 10x better in real life then they do on pictures. But there are some reliability issues, springs tend to brake some times, But Act Labs has great customer service and they send you plenty of replacement springs.


The shifter is awesome. You can put after market shift knobs on it. I have a momo knob which almost cost as much as the shifter lol. Act_Labs sells different shift plates. 4 speed 5 speed and 6 speed. The shifter comes with 7 speed +reverse. After I made my own springs for it(easy to do, very easy, all you need is an old VHS tape). Its been 8 month and its working like a charm. Playing sims without it feels like shit. You need a shifter, feels 10x better.

i remember seeing a setup like that costing like 1k US? Does evey game support the manual shifter??

[SFDMALEX]

1k? Hell no. Computer hardware went down in price big time. You can have all of that for around 260USD+Plus 60$ for a MOMO Knob(in my case) if you want to get a nice racing seat thats another 300$.


Well there is a program which is updated regulary to support the games with the shifter and all of the big games are supported.

Act-lab sells a combo for $245: http://www.act-labs.com/Products/racingcombo.htm

[hemi_fan]

ah, heres the new model... looks nice, but small. Usually smaller = slower or at least less power so maybe not my fav. lambo
