Anybody know what the name of this car is. I call it the canto because it came out when the diablo replacement was supposed to be called the Canto. I really like it though.

that was the prototype for the new Diablo...but then got canned when Audi took over...

thank god those intakes are fugly

Wasn't it called Canto as the name of the pic itself suggest?

mmm no...if I recall correctly...the canto was supposed to be a small lambo...just like the Gallardo, the car on the pic was supposed to replace the diablo...italdesign actyally made a full rolling prototype of the Canto...

Uhm... http://www.lambocars.com/others/canto.htm

Yep Chaos is right...the canto was ment to be a light version of the "Diablo" kinda like the Gallardo, it also had a V10...

i have afew articles which have stated that the car in that picture was an early protype version of the Murci... :!:

^^^ I'm sorry, but Chaos and you are wrong. The Canto was meant to be the successor of the Diablo. It was a V12 car. Check the link TT posted above. It holds a lot more information.

The V10 prototype for a smaller Lamborghini (successor to the Jalpa) was called P140 and is a lot older than the Canto. Later, Italdesign built a concept car with more or less the same engine and named it Cala. Perhaps that's what caused the confusion (Cala - Canto).

I was the one who named the picture. I just wasn't sure but as the other thread shows this is indeed the Canto.

i can see why lambo got sold...

Oh yes...Cala was the one...not Canto....sorry sorry... :oops: TT and stradale are absolutely right....

yep the car in the pic is canto ... A(gent)007 loves it :lol: :P

I'm glad they canned it. Murcielago is much more hansome..
