THE F70 (LaFerrari) Thread

Its what happens when you've tried to recreate the same car for 40 years.

Its what happens when you have really only 1 product line.

Its what happens when your company's founder didn't have a true love for cars but an envious jealousy and hatred for someone who did.

Its what happens when that same founder didn't stick to what he knew best; building tractors.

 

Well put. This looks like a desperate cry for attention, a body kit nightmare. The Muira on the other hand achieved way more impact with a total simplistic purity of design which today is even more stunning and one of the all time greats.

 

It still looks better than the 308 GT4 or 412. And it's probably very fast.

I forgot. Sports cars are about posing.....

Said no enthusiast ever.

 

Its a DESPERATE cry for ATTENTION and attention addicts every where who care nothing about driving or tracking but for those people who like driving down the street at crowded beaches where teenagers and guys in there 40s still living with their parents are gwaking at them. Thats all this car is for, nothing else.

 

YIKES...you REALLY do not like Lamborghini's huh?

 

Nope, which is why I just exercised my own.

 

Those side markers just ruin the car IMO

 

i thought maybe it was the result of a "union" between Lady GaGa & Dennis Rodman...

 

Now that Alpine concept car. THAT was a gorgeous little thing too.

 

No offence, but hate to say but you would appear to be in a minority here about the success of Lambos latest offering judging by the "bunch of children's" response

 

Not really and the way they run the company. For a company that brags and boasts about "being the bad boys", "leading the way with technology" and for a company that says "we are better than Ferrari but don't want to be Ferrari", its pure bull____.

Lamborghini would be cool if they didn't try so hard and toned it down. Lamboghini is like the guy at the gym with decent muscularity always walking around with his shirt off flexing in the mirror when others are there are far bigger, lift heavier weights and more muscular who just keep their shirts on, work out and go home.

I've said it a million times, they should make a not to over the top SUV and a front engine muscle car that doesn't look like the batmobile, they'd probably sell alot more cars. Their cries for attention is just sickening.

 

Lambo's are supposed to be outrageous and painted some crazy color like orange or green

 

Im not talking about this Lamborghini sepcifically but the talks of asuccessful automobile company being somehow "desperate" of another when they both have worldwide recognition and dont even have to make showstoppers to get press. In this case people are forgetting that the whole point of an autoshow is to SHOW OFF. Thats why companies make halo cars to begin with.

 

Plus the fact that in terms of oddball styling, Espera sbarro has EVERYONE beat every year. They are the king of attention grabbing strange over the top design.

 

You forget... the automobile is the blending of engineering and art. There's probably a lot of engineering here. They just forgot the art part.

 

Naaa, that's a win. Cooler than the P1 that's for sure.

-F

 

Mclaren P1 - " Designed in the wind tunnel, no soul, speed is not everything..."

Lamborghini Veneno - " That thing is slow, not technically advanced, no dct, trying too hard.. "
Eager to see if the prancing horse can appeal to the soul and be faster or ends up doing a mediocore job at both..

 

Totally agreed and not good company for Lamborghini to compete with!

 

Yah... you gotta kinda feel sorry for the P1. Looks like yesterday's news already.

 

Every Lambo since the last Countach has been "another Countach" in one form or another. Time for them to move on...

 

Lamborghini will never out extreme Sbarro. Plus He has home field advantage!
Dude built a monster truck with the wheels from a Boeing 747 airliner jet. I mean seriously the guy is crazy.

 

I dont disagree that they seem to be content with the same shape, but it works for Porsche, Aston, Koenigsegg, Pagani, Spyker....Sometimes when you have a specific identity its best to stick to it instead of changing for the sake of change.

 

why are you so heavily invested mentally/emotionally to care (hate/feel disgust) so much? it's a car brand that offers variety/choices to a world full of car nuts...and they go about their marketing/pr etc as they see fit. how does that chip away at your mental bubble of the world? just asking.

 

Until you find out that it'll kick everyone's butts twice! A 2.5-2.6 sec time to 62 will shut everyone up real quick!

 

And why do you think they have already revealed the car to the public?
