Lamborghini emissions

Post by amulheirn »

I think I see a potential emissions problem in this picture:

They must be fine, they're part of Volkswagon! :P :twisted:

I'm sure they're a fantastic car with warp speed performance, but does anyone else think they're getting a bit too Max Power these days? :(

Does absolutely nothing for me, I'm afraid - teenager's idea of what a car should look like, maybe? Very embarrassing to be seen in...

That's it Roger. I have no idea who they're designing them to appeal to. The only people who seem to buy them are spoilt off-spring of rich Arabs. :?

I can't see these cars having the same style or appeal of a Miura in 50 years time.

Completely agree. Although on your point of the appeal of a Miura, have you ever sat in one whilst it's running? As a direct comparison,* I'd rather have the Mini... and the Miura copied the Mini anyway. Well, OK, its transfer gear arrangement copied the Mini's.



*there may be an element of 'tongue-in-cheek' about that remark, but not as much as you might think

I've never sat in a Miura, running or otherwise, but they look absolutely gorgeous in my view.

Well if I won the lottery I'd buy one tomorrow. Definitely prefer the design ethos over the modern Ferrari's. They are outrageous and imaginative in their styling. Ferrari's have become rather bland.

Really?? :shock:

I'm not a fan of modern Ferraris either, although by all accounts they're phenomenal cars to drive. But the Lamborghini in the picture linked above is too radical for my conservative tastes. :wink: The Huracan looks really good though, so I'd be happy with one of those.

This is definitely the Lambo for me:

(and I'm sure Clive would appreciate that),

...although a little bit of me has always fancied one of these:
