as I've heard, no tours of the Lamborghini factory this year - unveiling has been delayed for the new beast - 3500lbs., shorter, a bit wider, and around 600hp.

anyone else got any more info on it?


btw, in my opinion, and I'm sure most of you agree, the Diablo (gotta AutoArt 1/18th of it) is not even a 'car', its just...something that transcends the word 'car', incredible design. I can't wait to see what they have in store for the select few that don't have to ask because they know they can afford it.

Ageed. Lambos are something else all together. For some reason, the term "car' just seems inadequate.

I love the Diablo. I never thought they could outdo the Countach, but they did. Same for the Jalpa.

However, all the pictures I've seen of the Canto have left me wanting.

Still, not a a huge issue considering I had to sell a kidney to get the S.

On Sunday it was an absolutely gorgeous, cloudless day and my wife and I were sitting at a red light, waiting to make a left turn. The opposing traffic has to come down a short hill with a slight curve. As we're sitting there, a yellow Diablo comes around the curve down the hill and pulls into the left turn lane directly opposite us. Because of the curves, I was able to see the right side, then the left side and then head on.

It was absolutely, incredibly, stunningly gorgeous. In the bright sunlight, it was like a beacon, the brightest thing in sight.

I should just trade in my silver/black S2000 and get a yellow one!

I don't think I'll ever forget the first time I sat in a Labmo. It was 1983 and a white Countach 5000 with white interior. It was mezmerizing...!

I still admire the car and think it's a magnificent combination of machinery and art.

I am anxious to see the next generation...

I dont think it would even put a dent in the tax.

Ummm, I actually meant a yellow S2000, although I can certainly see how you thought I meant a yellow Diablo!
