hmmm... Im a Lambo fan but ill have to admit this car looks(at least of what i could see) quite ankward.

It doesnt "match" the other lambos...

Well, i guess im talking too much, its too soon to say something.

This - any day.

The 400i (Ferraris answer to the 4 seat super car of the day) was always bland compared to the Espada - and looks like Lamborghini have another stunning exciting winning design.

Why do they need to revive an old model? Can they create something new?

Anyway, that's still a good initiative. The 2+2 market is getting more and more crowded... (they say it's a 4 seater but guess they mean 2 adults + 2 kids)

Well, what about the Murcielago? Isn't it a revival of the Diablo wich was a revival of the Countach?

The Espada died and nothing else came right away because Lambo had some dark days too, but IMO now why not, the Espada was a brillant machine and I am curious about a modern interpretation

I guess that was a joke "Well, what about the Murcielago? Isn't it a revival of the Diablo wich was a revival of the Countach?" ...

LOL no, I just wanted to say it is kinda difficult to innovate these days because if you have a long history behind you, you probably already tested all the main ideas

In fact I was talking about the design and the fact that the production of the Espada stoped couple of years ago (couple of 10 years ago even...).

Back from the dead... They also have a project of "new" Jalpa, correct? Huuu and what about the LM02...

Well afaik the next two big things are the 4 seater and a new SUV indeed, I know nothing about a new Jalpa, but isn't the Gallardo already a pretty good entry model?

I never saw it that way, I always though of the Jalpa as a failed marketing strategy from Chrysler to sell more Lambo in US.

In fact thinking about it you're linka right, the Jalpa was the baby (little small baby) Countach as of the Gallardo is the baby Murci.

Lambo SUV, I missed that. LM02 Style ?

Well, only some early sketches went around I think so far, and for sure there is nothing really in the work yet, not even full size models IMO. But definitely it would be cool for them to hit us with something as big as the original LM
