Zitat von netburner Da ich bisher nichts gefunden habe: ist denn jetzt von Lamborghini im Zuge von Pebble Beach irgendetwas, wenn auch vielleicht nur vor einer handvoll Kunden, präsentiert worden? |
Tja, die Jungs von Pistonheads.com waren wohl da und können sich nicht vorstellen, wie man es hätte verheimlichen können. Gesehen haben sie nix.
The latest information on the Lamborghini supercar is that it derives its inspiration from the Lockheed F-22 Raptor, the most sophisticated attack aircraft in America's aerial Air Force arsenal. As homage to the muse, the cars will be painted gray and fitted with stylized instrument panels. According to Piston Heads, the boys from Sant' Agata (though they mention Modena) have admitted to be building such a car, but now only ten are coming to the US, not the 15 previously reported.
There were claims that the car would be shown to a tiny number of folks at this year's Pebble Beach concourse. We were there and we can assure you that we didn't see, read, or hear about a Raptor-inspired $1.5 million Lamborghini anywhere near Monterey. And we can't imagine how such a secret could have been kept on a peninsula teeming with multi-millionaire car crazy collectors. We'll all have to hold our breath until Frankfurt, and we cannot wait to see what this thing is and whether it's worth more than four times the cost of an LP640.

UPDATE
Straight from the keyboards of people you don't know comes more "detailed" rumors of the Lamborghini supercar. Extracting the most compelling bits, it appears that the actual car hasn't been seen, but a 1/25-scale model has been shown to an exceedingly select few at Pebble Beach last week and at the Santa Monica airport, along with a short video presentation.
The car will have LP640 doors and mirrors, but is otherwise completely new. Rumor is that it will have just 20 more horsepower than the LP640. The interior is said to be green -- it's military-inspired, right? In spite of that, the gut-wrenching magic of the car is supposed to be the instrument panel, which is only ever described in superlatives. "Amazing" and "insane" are the most common. No one has any details they can reveal, having signed a paper promising not to disclose the goods.
All 20 cars have been spoken for, and there's a waiting list of 12. A gent from Manhattan Motorcars, purveyors of Lamborghinis, says that this car will return us to the days of Lamborghini posters plastering every suburban schoolboy's walls. Of course, another poster wrote "jet plane cockpits are cool but for $1.5m shouldn't it have ICBMs and an ejector seat?" Come on, Frankfurt.
