Hmm im actually pleasently suprised. Except for the overall dimensions it doesnt remind me of the gallardo at all. Its got the classic Audi lines with a touch of F430 in the rear end, and maybe the intakes from the gallardo
Its far from a carbon-copy so it doesnt bother me.

I don't think it will have much of a future.
I mean keep sport cars in the sport car brand.
Just don't praise them or the next thing you know they WILL make a 60k € VW sports car

Butt Ugly, looks German, more VW than anything else. They already own the greatest supercar on the planet, what are they trying to do, one up it?

I don't know what they're trying to prove but I hope it backfires on them.

First Lamborghini then the Pope...what's going on?

Another piece of ugly ugly German crap!

Just don't put the Lamborghini name anywhere near this car. Leave the design to the Italians...please.

Looks like any other Audi to me....Only stand out is the 360 style deck lid.

No Threat to Lambo.

Au contraire, Mr. Raymondo, who would you rather have Lamborghini owned by? I mean, I love the cars, we all do, but the company can't hold itself up- it doesn't make money. Personally, I think Audi/VW is a good company to have Lambo in the hands of. If they wre owned by GM, then we'd have a problem. But as long as it's in the hands of another European company that has good financial background, I woulnd't worry about Lamborhgini, as long as the Italians are still doing the design.
Also, I beleive that the Le Mans actually is a rewrapped Gallardo.
