  |  Next Murciélago Gets In Shape...   "Meet the next ultimate Lambo! These pictures give us the best look yet at how the raging bull of the future will shape up – and it’s set to eclipse the existing Murciélago in every way. The car has yet to be given a name, but it’s expected to combine Lamborghini owner Audi’s aluminium spaceframe chassis with a carbon fibre bodyshell. That will make it much lighter than the Murciélago it replaces – and guarantees stunning performance to go with the incredible looks. Up front is a pronounced spoiler and fresh headlamps – but designers have reserved the biggest changes for the rear. They have moved the Murciélago’s trademark angular exhaust closer to the ground, while new strip-like LED tail-lights replace the current square units. Power is expected to come from a 6.0-litre V12 with around 700bhp – that would propel the car from 0-60mph in just over three seconds. The new Lambo will also be wider and longer, while four-wheel drive ensures it’s firmly planted on the road. Preliminary prototypes have been spied near Germany’s Nürburgring track, but the car is unlikely to arrive before 2012. The newcomer will also pave the way for future generations of hybrid Lambos. It will be the brand’s first car to use efficient technologies such as stop-start and energy regeneration, and is a major step towards bosses’ plans to deliver the first-ever Lamborghini hybrid by 2015" Hmmmm.... ? I know the new Murcielago replacement will be off the hook but I don't know about this still... I just had to post it.

| That looks sweet!!  The chops proportions are quite off, hopefully will be a lot thinner and longer! And needs a sharp crease down the side to fill in that dead space on the rear quarter!

| Nice, but it looks too "Precious". Next Lambo should look like the destroyer or worlds. I love Lambo for their aggressive look.

| I have heard the next lambo will have significantly shorter overhangs than currently. Which would mean the car either gets shorter, or wheelbase grows significantly. I would like a shorter V12 Lambo. I also like the smooth look, i.e. not a lot of "exposed edges. |

| ^  I sure wish they built that car. Would have been amazing to see how it would have crushed the Porsche. Then again maybe they didn't build one because of the posrche....since VAG has both now.

| Looks very nice... However IMO a bit too tame and sleek for Lambo's next raging bull, especially the back. The front is too Gallardo like too. I'm sure the real bull will be much more provocative and outrageous. |
