=) HAHA...ok...me too.. I prefer the newer models of Lambos... =)
The most beautiful for me is the Murci Roadster... =)

There are several things that you don't understand here.

The design looks like the 1966-1972 Miura because the design celebrates
the 40th Anniversary of the original car's body design, as the body design
of the original car didn't appear until 1966 at Geneva.

And as far as not taking much thought or effort, it took two years from
start to signoff to complete the body design, but the new Miura is not
complete yet as the design is not a running car. It is not as easy as it
looks! The new car looks like the old, but it is really totally different!
You will see/hear many more details in the days to follow. I would venture
to say that NONE of the parts of the original would fit on the completed
new car. So you're basically saying that it takes no thought or effort to
design a new car!

And as far as comparing to Ford, well, Lamborghini has produced a number
of totally new and original exotic supercar designs in the last 40 years.
Ford has not. They've gone retro on ALL of their exotic supercars, since the
1960's. The new Cobra Roadster, Ford GT, and most recently Daytona
Coupe concepts, of which only the Ford GT has been produced so far.
Which is cool, but hardly an accurate comparison with Lamborghini. This
is because Ford doesn't really design and build exotic supercars as their
main business. Lamborghini does!

Yes I understand all of this. What I am saying is the lamborghini visual design team didnt have to go through drawing after drawing, sheet of paper after sheet of paper, trying to find a they like. I hate to bring Ferrari up in a Lambo forum, but here is some potential future Ferrari designs that they came up with: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthr...errari+designs

See how many there are?? The lamborghini design team already had their basic look from the old muira. Indeed, it did take a great amount of work to mkae the car and design the chassis, powertrain, fit the panels, etc. That is my point, and all I will say on the subject.

Unfortunately I can't see the designs, as I have to be a member of that
site to see them. But the context looks like it is the recent Ferrari
"Concepts of the Myth" design competition that Ferrari sponsored between
some of the worlds leading design schools. If it is, thanks I have all of them.
In fact, I have some that didn't make the final cut that I like better than
some that did. Ferrari has gotten too conservative for me. But that is
a different topic.

My response is, I don't think that you know that Lamborghini didn't go
through a comprehensive series of ideations. It is a standard step of
good design to go through a series of ideations, like you suggest. All the
schools teach it. It is in fact my favorite step of the design process! You
usually see stuff that is raw sex! Stuff that may even be too wild to
manufacture or for the public to accept.

What we are seeing, is the 'winning' design, after that step.

There is no sense is beating a dead horse. He just doesn't get it. No one realizes the amount of work that goes into designing stuff if they are not in the field. Everyone has the common idea that designers just sit around with a box of crayons and color all day and that our jobs are sooooo easy. And that is all I have to say on the topic.

Well somebodies impressed, like The Press!!
