Simply beautiful.

After looking at some of the dreadful designs in this forum of late it's good to see great car design is not completely dead.

I am blown away. They always nail it. Unlike Farrari, lamborghini never makes ugly or less attractive cars. I have seen the new Ferrari 458 Italia and it is a bit odd in the design details ( black areas at the front of the hood, 3 exhaust pipes,etc. It probably needs some getting used to like the 599 or even the 612 scaligetti. The 612 looks like a womans ferrari, and the 599 looks like an SUV . The ride height is ridiculous in the front. When it corners you can see the inside of the fenders. Lamborghini is a smaller company and cant make a car that sells poorly. They nailed it again. Every car I have ever seen from Lamborghini from the Countach, Diablo, Murceielago, Gallardo, and even the old Miura are all stunners, Some of the older Ferraris didnt have the same pizzaz. Compare the testarossa to the diablo, the Murcielago to the 360 modena, and even the gallardo to the california.... the lamborghinis look better IMHO.


Lamborghini has always been edgier. It almost makes a Ferrari look conservative if you can imagine that. Lamborghinis sell to the younger and newer money in my experience and therefore it will always be a bit wilder

That's the best looking Lambo in years. All the classic Lambo themes brought together in perfection.

Agreed!

The car is beautiful...the wheels are not.

Wheels being "busy" to me is relative to what car they are on. Those wheels would be "too busy" on any "normal" car. On an exotic like a lamborghini, they look perfect.

That's definitely one of the sexiest cars on earth in my opinion.
