    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

This will be revealed in Beijing next week, and it's a concept for Lamborghini's second SUV (After the LM002) which is aimed at the middle-eastern and Asian (Chinese) markets. Power comes from (Presumably) the Gallardo V10 with about 600 bhp.

Outside doesn't look too bad imho, the interior is still in the concept stage. I do wonder how they'll cram a V10 into that nose though?
 
Meh...
I haven't really muched like anything Lambo after Countach L500.....They all seem to be too much computer & not enough heart & soul....
 
Just right for the 'Oil' Arabs and the Chinese 'Nouveau Riche' market.
Probably an Audi under the skin Ferry.

You mean they don't try to kill you when they have the chance..? ;) TBH Audi have done wonders for build quality and reliability the last couple of years.

Based on the Q5 it seems.
Can't really blame them for aiming at those markets as they are still growing, and quite fast too!
 
Exactly what I hoped would not happen to Lambo under Audi stewardship.
I guess the same thing drives this, as drove Porsche to create the Cayenne: the bean counters, and to hell with the Marque.
 
Well, Lambo started out with tractors originally, so... ;)

And like it or not, but the Cayenne is a huge success for Porsche, as is the Panamera. Without those, there might not have been a Porsche company today..
 
Not to overlook the Lambo SUV from the 1980s, the original over the top wildly expensive 'off road' device aimed squarely at the Arabs.

Err Ferry, you do know that
Lamborghini was dissatisfied with the clutch on his Ferrari, made a complaint, and Enzo basically told him to go back to building tractors
so he built his own supercar.
Going back to tractors wasn't really on the agenda!

And like it or not

NOT. I look at the Cayenne and want to throw up, I look at who's driving them, and why, and I want to throw up.
