[LaArtist]

[HighestOfHigh]

Uh Oh...I'm getting a little scared for Ferrari now. They better hurry up with the Enzo replacement. This car looks like it is going to be an absolute BEAST!

 

[DaSilva]

Beautiful.... What a wheel.... The name for the car should be
Lamborghini JOCARBONTA

Reveal that damn thing now... I can't sleep at night... lol ^^

Hey 1 question to all Lambo freaks?
Are all lambos named after bulls?
Even the countach and espada?

PS
I know that the Estoque is named after a bullfighers sword..
But what bout the production cars?

From Wiki:

• The word countach (pronounced [kunˈtɑʃ](
  
  listen)) is an exclamation of astonishment in the local Piedmontese language — generally used by men on seeing an extremely beautiful woman.[1]
• The name "Espada" means "sword" in Spanish, referring to the sword that bullfighters use to kill the bulls.
  
• As with other Lamborghinis, the Estoque derives its name from Spanish-style bullfighting. An estoque is a type of sword traditionally used by matadors.

So the naming is not really about Bulls, but more about Bull fighting and everything that goes with it....Countach basicly is an exception to the rule.
Can't wait to hear about the name. It'll be epic like all Lambo names.

 

[Sunny]

Man, now I can't buy a Lamborghini any more. I am very anti-bull fighting.

Sarcasm is strong with this one.

^ That's the view from behind and through the carbon-fibre seat. You can see the technical fabric (in focus) and the red - presumably Alcantara - flat-bottomed steering wheel (out of focus).

 

[LaArtist]

That steering wheel looks awfull lot like the Zonda´s

 

[Monster]

The Paris Autoshow press day is on the 30th so I'd expect Lamborghini to release full images and press release tomorrow night, wednesday, or in the very early hours of thursday when the unveivling takes place.
