Good to go except those wheels... Not too much performance to be had with heavy chrome!

i personally have no problem with this concept. But I hope lambo does not make it. The concept is beautiful. But I firmly believe that some cars should just be, and let them have a legacy that is not attatched to a retro craze. Don't get me wrong i love the concept, but it needs to stay there. The original miura was a drivers car. You had to finesse it. I have not driven one but I am a huge lambo fan and always have been. To me this is like porcshe redoing the 959 or an old 356A. They were beautiful. But let them be and create something new.

Don't people like this see pictures of themselves on the internet and realize that they're about 20 years past washed-up?

Gross regardless.

The car looks alright I suppose, though I'd still take the original over the retro styled "nuevo" interpretation. I'm not too sure about that huge chrome application; it worked on the old one because there was chrome elsewhere on the car (windshield, windows, headlights); but it looks a little out of place here.

Like the car but I think it's too retro. I'm not against retro cues but overtly retro-izing a car, I'm not a fan of that. The current mustang is just too retro to me. Put a nice kit on it to modernize the look and I can tolerate it better. Saw pics of the Challenger concept. It's so retro you can barely tell the difference between it and the real original old skool car. Looks okay but I think it goes too far.

Lambo is supposed to be a company moving ahead not looking back.. Why go retro?? The Gallardo and Murcielago are the new faces of Lambo.

You have to understand that while ZZ top is 'washed up' to most of the world, the one is still recognized as an expert as far as cars go. Same with Leno. They invited them because they wanted 'car guys' to be associated with their new release.
