The LP700s motor is about the same relative size as the LP640.

Another view. The reason the motor came out was because of a very tiny throwout bearing oil leak. Motors come out fairly easily in Lamborghinis, so they tend to come out often to get at things in such a tight space.

Not a bad looking Lambo. I think it takes design cues from the Murci and the Reventon and combines them successfully

See now that tan/black interior combo on the grey car... that's more like it! Throw in some alcantara and some contrast stitching and it'll be a nice place to be

Even though there are a lot of buttons, it seems like they're all within reach. It probably cost them less money to do that than to spread them around seeing how you'll have to make more cutouts for buttons and switches.


If I had a supercar, my ideal interior consists of only the steering wheel, accelerator and maybe the brakes. Forget all the other shenanigans

I'm eager to start reading some of the review numbers. It's definitely a nice looking car. I'm going to find out if I can tell the story behind the design because there is one and it's a very good one.

The car's design was penned by Manfred Fitzgerald's own team. They are a very young, very talented group of guys for sure.

Looking at them, they all look like they just fell out of a skate park. I don't really know, but I'd guess late 20s early 30s. Manfred leaving Lamborghini is a huge loss in my opinion.

Happy to help out. BTW, for you guys with critical eyes, anyone notice how crappy the fit and finish is on that orange car? I'm guessing it's a very early production. Anyone want to point out the flaws?
