Front part a bit ugly.Taking cues from Reventon placing on it makes it look weird. Designwise does not flow well-the front air vents, or whatever that is
Typo spotted! LP-560-R
Maybe Paul’s finger slipped. Ah, nevermind.
The greenest Lamborghini ever produced, and yet, it rox so much more than the previous one. My salute to Lamborghini, I’m lovin’ it
IIANM, Autocar Asean June issue featured this car, and it mentioned that at 300 something CO2, it is the greenest supercar in its category (Ferrari F430, Aston Martin Vantage, blabla). Cool.
Those front air intakes look horrible!
