| This is really interesting, VAG's first rear wheel car. IT will be quite a delight to read about how the car behaves or whether VAG can play the RWD game too. |

| The fact that Lamborghini is now offering a two-wheel drive version of the Gallardo is incidental and has no bearing on whether they can "pull RWD off or not" or any significance regarding such a strategy for the rest of the stable. The Lambo Gallardo is a mid-engined supercar. This means that it, inherently, is rear-wheel drive and only some very deliberate and finicky engineering gets a little power to the front wheels. For the LP550-2 this is not a move toward rear-wheel drive but rather a simple reversion from AWD to the simpler, lighter system that was already there from the outset.
