    the 360 Modena lasted 10 years in production .... with several versions and displacement enlargments and facelifts ...


    just like the Gallardo which was launched in 2004 will be in 2014

    agree that if advancements don't make the car any more exciting to drive, or continue to 'look good', or safer even, then it's pointless. regarding LP670 vs 700 however, you should reserve judgement until driven. the journo's who have driven the new car, well, the pre production cars, say it is a massive improvement...in stability and agility. a much stiffer chassis allowing a much better suspension to do its thing. and yes, the new car is stupid fast.

    I'm not following you. The 360 was in production from 1999 to 2004. During this time they released the variations, including the Spider, Challenge Stradale, etc. Unless you're calling the F430 a 360 facelift, which I certainly don't think it is.

    I see, thanks for the clarification :)

    430 is 360 facelift. Factory workers name for 430 is actually 360 evo. Pretty big facelift but common bonnet, doors, roof, floor plan. CCM brakes and F1 from CS went into 430.

    And the Countach.


    Like that really matters?

    You put that car on a dyno and I bet non of those numbers will even show up.

    That is correct, and common in this day and age. In fact the 458 is based on the 430 under the skin. They started with the same chassis, and drivetrain and tweaked all that and put a new body on top. So, 458 is a direct relative to the 360 and shares much with some evolution.

    Thank you for posting that! I was criticizing the code names for the Lambos, but now I realize why they did that.

    That's still not nearly as many versions as the Gallardo.

    You have a strange definition of 'facelift'.

    You are wrong, 458 has no common chassis and drivetrain with 360/430.

    458 is the first of the next generation which will in 4/5 years become 458 evo and per 360 and 360 evo (430).

    What would you call a car sharing same floorplan, bonnet, doors, roof? Not a blank paper design as per 458.

    Factory internal designation is 360 evo which says it all! Spider roof is the same roof between 360 and 430.

    True, it seems that the competition is doing that after all.

    Yup. Someone from Teamsp**d cut and pasted my post over to that forum, editing out the first paragraph. Without the first paragraph, the context is lost...

    I think it's pretty funny that my for-fun speculation has gone this far...

    If anyone here is a member of Teamsp**d, could you go in there and set the record straight? The guy over there credits me, but the message isn't getting through.

    Quotes from media world:

    Lamborghini Gallardo Tricolore, presented in Turin, is the latest version to celebrate the 150th Italy anniversary by the Lamborghini’s most successful model, the Gallardo. The supercar stands by a tricolor strip across the body and the dr...iver’s seat, with the same color scheme already seen on the Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni. “With the Lamborghini Gallardo Tricolore we give further impetus to the Made in Italy in the world, ” said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Lamborghini Automobili.

    The Power is 550 hp, torque 55 kgm and the only rear-wheel drive saves 120 kg (1,380 kg total) than the LP 560-4 with AWD.
    On the 0-100 km/h this Gallardo takes 3″ 9 and top speed is 320 km/h.

    Lamborghini untill now did not release further technical details and neither the number of cars in which the Tricolore will be produced. :)

    Light-footed yet extremely safe
    Thanks to the eminently powerful V10 driveline, controlled oversteer is no problem – naturally always to the extent defined by the driver - because refined road manners and perfectly tuned assistance systems mean that the Gallardo LP 550-2 Tricolore is an exceptionally safe sports car to drive :p

    Powerful elegance in its distinctive design
    The Gallardo LP 550-2 Tricolore is not only unique in terms of its technology: its design and equipment reinforce its exclusivity. and emphasises the unique Lamborghini design DNA ;)

    Other than the green, white and red stripe, the Gallardo Tricolore also sports carbon-fiber mirror caps and a white paint. “To celebrate the 150 years of Italian unity we felt that it was appropriate to propose a tri-colo...r livery for our most succesful model, the Lamborghini Gallardo," said the company's CEO, Stephan Winkelmann. “With the Lamborghini Gallardo Tricolore we give a further impulse to the development of the 'Made in Italy' label in the world."

    The car will be officially introduced on March 16 in Turin, at an exhibition dedicated to the Italian state anniversary. For the time being, Lamborghini offered no technical details of the special edition model and has yet to announce the number of cars it plans to build, though our bet would go to 150." :D
