It has to be white.

Classic color combos: German = silver, Ferrari = red, Jaguar = green, and Lambo = white.

If you havent already...

I look at the Lambo site every now and then because those guys are completely insane. And it seems like they all actually drive the crap out of them as well as heavily mod them. The MB site, Im sure you been too. I suggest asking the same questions there if you havent already.

while yes the R8 will still be an Audi i think its a little different than the CL is with mercedes because there is a noticable difference between the R8 and most of the cars audi makes, where as with the CL its not as noticeable with most people

I think he is referring to the fact that Lambo was bought out by Audi and the fact that the Gallardo uses an Audi made V10 along with there know how in Aluminum spaceframing. Compared the Lambos of the generation before it has done nothing but strengthen the brand. IMO I dont consider it a negative at all.

I read somewhere that no more than 20% of the Gallardo is Audi sourced, most of it stuff you cant see. The Murci on the other hand is still based on the chassis that underpinned the Countach and the engine is the same from the Miura (obviously with updates).

They are both from Italy. I do not know why there are alot of rumors around saying that Lambo is German

You have a point there. But, between the R8 and the gallardo, i think the gallardo is a winner

The gallardo is yellow up to 06 , from 07 the White is gallardo

CL65 hands down. Its a mans car. The gallardo, although beautiful, is made for dwarfs and midgets .lol Have you guys actually sat in one before?? WOW that thing is small. My friend had a yellow 2006 with custom wheels. Its amazing just to look at it, but I would ditch it for the ultimate bezo autobahn bomber. I saw that thing on a show on the sped channel and it was killing cars at the 1/8 th mile drag track. It finanlly lost to a full on drag car, but damn that thing is baller. I am 6'5" and the CL65 is the only car that I have ever sat in where I need to move the seat up. Its made for basketball players. Hence the term , true ballers car.( because they fit)
