The “small” Lambo has been re-portrait by the preparer SR American Automotive Group. The LP560-4, called “Erebos, thus receives the front bumper of the gargantuan LP570 Superleggera.

La bomba latina dressed side skirts Carbon fiber signed RSC. The rear spoiler, also produced by the RSC, and the hull of the mirrors also receive the envelope of carbon fiber.

Perched on the shiny black rims 20 inches, it has something to show off! And what divert the curious of the technical parts. For apart from the exhaust system RSC, nothing new has been brought to 5.2 l V10 engine with 560 horsepower …

While Lamborghini today unveiled the third trailer for the mysterious model, information concerning it have appeared on the canvas.

For now discussed under the code names of LB715 and 83X-5, two projects are currently working engineers in Sant’Agata Bolognese.

The first is the one that is called for now Jota, a V12 supercar atmospheric developing 715 horsepower and capable of a 0 to 100 km / h in 3 seconds. Unfortunately, it is not expected to show the public until the Geneva Motor Show in March 2011. Information to make the conditional anyway, because it is difficult to know what the “B” and “-5″ can mean. Recall that in normal times, the “LP” means Longitudinal-posterior and the “-4″ evokes the 4 wheel drive.

The second would be that which is presented to us for several days now. Known as code 83X, it would be a concept intended to discuss the future of the brand, combining a V10 in the carbon fiber to focus light and liveliness.

Not long ago, Lamborghini has released its second teaser about the Jota. In the press release was attached,Lamborghini showed us the direction for the future.

In fact, according to Lamborghini, pure speed is not the main criterion defining a supercar. The brand with the bull is even noticing that we almost never reaches 300 km / h potential of a sports car.

Thus, Lamborghini focuses on the remaining two criteria, namely the behavior and the acceleration, the keystone will be understood, is the weight. As such, the Italian brand that makes us understand the history of thirty years with the carbon fiber is a major asset.

The conclusion from all this is that we will most certainly entitled to a very slight Jota, designed almost exclusively carbon. In the meantime, you can enjoy this second teaser, which shows that Lamborghini did not forget the V10 either.

Lamborghini is definitely a source of endless inspiration to designers and aspiring designers. This new study includes more codes that make Lamborghini what it is. Emerge from models of the brand a sense of unity, as if the car was cut in marble, one piece. Edges, always prominent, reinforce this impression of solidity.

Adam Denning this time philosophy reinterpreted Lamborghini Murcielago starting from the. Always very sharp, however it has more curves, more voluptuous than the Murcielago. A female version? Not quite.

If the outside curves soften the engine, she does not talk. With a V12 from 650 to 700 horsepower, one would imagine very manly behavior, especially when you imagine the weight that the structure would weigh any carbon fiber.

Jota named by everyone except Lamborghini, the Murcielago’s replacement will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September 2010.

And if that replacement has already been seen in spyshots or mentioned in interviews with leaders of the brand,Lamborghini has never officially announced his coming.

It is now the case with this first teaser. But the formalization of his coming is the only information that can be drawn from this first shot.

Rumours suggest, however, a carbon fiber construction for low weight at 1 500 kg. Suddenly, the 700 horses that should enable it develop its V12 a 0 to 100 km / h shipped in about 3 seconds and a top speed of 375 km / h.

Another peculiarity already mentioned, the disappearance of the doors “Lamborghini” in favor of a slightly different style, similar to what Koenigsegg (ie an opening to the outside and then a vertical pivot).

VIP presentation and dealers should be held next month, which will probably have the opportunity to discover more thanks to some indiscretions.

Jota dubbed by the press, it’s actually the name of Sesto Elemento the latest Lamborghini appears. According to its manufacturer, it displays a very high power to weight ratio, since the figure of 1.75 hp / kilogram is announced.

Indeed, with 570 horsepower from a V10, and 999kg on the scales, we expect acceleration breathtaking. This performance is achieved through the massive use of carbon, the same used for the exhaust, as shown in the sixth and last teaser.

At a time when manufacturers are starting to talk about the virtues of lightness, Lamborghini unveiled its extensive expertise in this field with the concept car Sesto Elemento.

Judge for yourself: this supercar powered by a V10 and 570 hp with a AWD weighs only 999 pounds! 340 is less than aLamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, itself already making damn diet.

The secret weapon of Lamborghini : Carbon, the sixth element (elemento sesto “in Italian) in the periodic table well known to physicists. Specifically, the CFRP, ie plastic reinforced with carbon fiber.

Material previously reserved for aviation, but Lamborghini has taken over this Elemento Sesto. Virtually all component parts of this concept car are made of this material: the cell monohull, of course, but also body panels, the crash box front suspension components, driveshaft and even .. . rims!

The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento displays therefore a power to weight ratio that dizzy: 1.75 kg / hp! And to give wings to its V10, which catapults from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.5 seconds and up to well over 300 km / h.

But the low weight is also a token of hyper-agile road handling and braking you can print the mark in the torso harness.Spread the word: Lamborghini looks to the future … lightly!

The weekend event was held the Texas Mile, a race of “straight line” performed on an airport runway. One of the stars of the event was a Lamborghini Gallardo twin turbo prepared by Underground Racing and capable of exceeding 400 km / h. It must be said that the sated by the V10 twin-turbo gasoline is fed to view 1500 race horses!

Unfortunately, a problem occurred when the driver opened his parachute at the end of a run. “ He lost control of his car which ended up completely destroyed. Fortunately the driver escaped not only unscathed, but he was even able to start walking!
