It must be a great car, but this name for me does't soud cool

When i'm playing a game and it's full of "lag" i say "leguera" which sounds exactly like leggera and if you add the super in the beggining, well... You know the result

No official specs yet, but I've heard talk about some weight loss and a little more power.

I really don't like the wheels actually, they look too much like TSW wheels like those on the white Taxi from the French film (nice film by the way) and don't seem to fit on a Lamborghini.

As for the SuperLeggera name, that puzzles me actually, this name was a patented way of how Touring actually made the 350GT back in the Sixties, apprently the name is now available to be used on the Gallardo, but it has nothing to do with the original concept of this name, which actually meant a special way of putting aluminum sheets over a frame (correct me if I'm wrong in this, I'm typing it from memory).

Anyway, look forward to seeing the Lamborghini Stand at Geneva.

When I read the thread, I though I was going to see a Lamborghini with these wheels:

always good to hear a 2 ton car loose some weight

I agree with Lambocars, the wheels don't really fit the design of the car,

as for the name, I actually like it!

I also think 4WD is becoming Lambos tradition, so I guess that's the reason this version doesn't have the RWD,

but I agree with Dani and others, it would have been nice to see it on this one.
