Geneva preview: Lamborghini Gallardo spotted in advance of s

[a007apl]

NO NEED TO WAIT FOR GENEVA: Here’s an early look at Lamborghini’s baby setting out on a recent test drive from the factory. The Italian sports car builder has announced its Ferrari 360 Modena-fighter, codenamed L140, will carry the name Gallardo (pronounced gayardo) after a famous fighting bull breed created in the 18th century by Francisco Gallardo.

Lambo’s mid-engined all-wheel-drive car will be powered by a 500-hp 5.0-liter V10 mated to a six-speed manual transmission with a traditional shifter or steering wheel shift paddles.

The car makes its official debut in Geneva on March 4 and goes on sale in May. Expect a sticker price in the $160,000 range.

Top-end Touareg?

Lamborghini is planning to launch a V10-powered version of the Volkswagen Touareg/Porsche Cayenne by 2006, according to a report in Germany’s Auto Bild magazine. Sant’ Agata’s high-end SUV is said to be based around a platform already under development at parent company Audi. Power for Lamborghini’s new mudslinger is rumored to come from a reworked version of the Gallardo engine.

Normaly open the doors!! !!

oh man, i thought Laborghini got away from the offroad vehicle market. oh well, this new car looks slick and sounds like it will beat the 360. the price range here is actually cheaper than the 360, interesting. i'd like to see the official debut pictures because the car shown here is pretty unfinished from the outside.

Well, keep in mind Ferrari is debuting a new 420 modena expected to approach 500hp with a completely retuned 4.2L V8.

[kleinefisch]

are there any pictures of the new modena. i hope that Lamborhgini doesn't go through with those other ideas. that would be so lame. they should not make the same descision that Porsche made.

[thepolarfoxqx]

yes well, i fear (though I would really hope not) that VW may push lambo into doing some sort of thing like that.

some more specs on the 420:

465+ horsepower from a retuned version of the Maserati 4.2L V8

who are these people? who in their right minds would put a Mustang over a Ferrari or Bugatti? i don't think that this list properly represents the general public.

[thepolarfoxqx]

they are factoring in dollar for dollar - that nothing is faster than an SVT Cobra - so more people can afford one - and it naturally is more interesting than something they could never have. I think value was the key component for the mustang there.
