I love EVERYTHING about this car. The look is baddass, the interior is minimal done awesome, and the goal of this super car is exactly what should be the new "performance" goal...shed weight. 2200lbs with AWD and a 570HP V10. This thing should be a MONSTER!!! Please make it Lamborghini...PLEASE!!!

this little bull looks meaner than the current big bull, can't wait to see how the new big bull is going to look like.

 

[Demo24]

Um..YES! A million times YES!

 

[brainhulk]

it looks like a batmobile diablo!

I like it, I-like-it-a-lot. 220lbs 570hp awd is just sic

We're in the middle of moving...will be in Victoria Park area.

 

[PhoKingGuy]

This looks like a jetfighter that made beautiful love with a batmobile, lol.

 

[Howard]

Awesome. It's like an Elise on steroids.

I'm really not that in love with it. Looks like a space ship more than a car imo.

I would agree on this point.

I like the idea of shedding weight in a sporting car.

I like the idea of shedding weight in a sporting car.

I know that this has been a part of super car development over the years...but I think it will become the focus now as engines are just ridiculously powerful now. I think lightweight materials and better efficiency should be the new goals. Hopefully as they develop knew tech in these expensive vehicles, slowly improved processes will make it down to our "el cheapo" vehicles. I know a number of companies are already investing in carbon fiber processes to make it affordable for more pedestrian cars.

Alright Mazda - if Lambo can make a V10 @ 2300lbs, you can surely make the new Miata @ 2200 lbs.
Geez 2.5s to 60mph. Thank god someone in charge at Lamborghini is still a child inside. This is what Lambos should be - crazy.

 

[PlasmaBomb]

Geez... 2200lb?

Sounds great!

"Those high exhaust temperatures will be exhaled by a V10 engine that's putting out a stonkin' 570 horsepower. With just 2,200 pounds of weight to move, the run to 60 will take less than 2.5 seconds."

Say what?

I've always wanted an Italian go-kart, wow.

 

[Arkaign]

Good lord. First the F458, now this, I tell you what :

the Italians are BAAAAAAAAACK!!!!

rock on good souls!

 

[AdamK47]

Angle overload

 

[SSSnail]

Meh, not sure if want.

 

[KentState]

Like it. Looks like it could be a Transformer car into a stealth fighter.

 

[Pariah]

The exterior is stunning. The interior is stunning too, though that would be stunningly impractical and ugly looking.

I'm sure theres one in the glove compartment. :sneaky:

I think it is logical. How much MORE power would a 3500 pound vehicle need to hit 0-60MPH in under 3s? After all, isn't performance the goal regardless of how it got there?

Had me laughing!
