The multimedia interface is exactly that of Audi's MMI tech. Also, people have pointed out to me that the steering wheel and seats are also found in the Audi RS4.

This is going to be a really cool model. Lovin the color matching idea(seats, steering wheel, brakes color matched to exterior), and the black roof and hood with the glass over the engine. I guess this is a Stradale competitor and a GT3 competitor as well. Lambo is pumping out some interesting products these days. And the next few years will be quite spectacular.
