Another NEW Lamborghini on the way??

**AUSTIN** · February 19th, 2004, 09:02 PM

"According to a source at the factory there will be a new Lamborghini model shown during the 2004 Geneva Motor Show.
This model will actually be presented on March 2nd 2004 to a selected few, you will need a pass to be able to get a preview of the car that Automobili Lamborghini SpA will show at the Motor Show when the doors open on March 4th.

The 74th Geneva International Motor Show will be open from March 4 to March 14, and will draw a lot of visitors as always, with the introduction of a new Lamborghini I'm sure even more people will try to get a glimps of the Italian masterpieces that will be shown, among other cars naturally.

What this new model will be can not be published right now, we'll have to wait and see if other news will be available from the factory before March, but at this moment the only thing that can be said is that there will be a new Lamborghini in the stand this year !

Personally I hope it will be a new front engined GT, I think the market is still open for such a Lamborghini, like the classic GT's from the Sixties or even a 2+2 like the Espada ... but we'll all have to wait what Sant'Agata will bring to Geneva this year ..."

Maybe they are updating their SUV [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img] The way the SUV market is booming, I cant say I blame them.

Didn't they earlier announce a lightweight RWD version of the Murcielago. It used a lot more carbon fibre, dropped the AWD and was tuned to make over 600hp with a few hundred pounds less weight.

Anyone know about these and if they've gone into production yet? They'd be a wild ride!

I thought they were going to use those versions for racing only.

they will be available to the public for more than $500K. It is called the Murcielago R-GT and will weigh in at 2420 lbs. (1500 lbs. lighter than stock).

Is this the car you are talking about? They are planning on racing it this year in FIA GT if I remember correctly.

I would hate to see that in my rear view mirror!

ROLLMODEL · February 19th, 2004, 10:56 PM

I'd be willing to be that fucker just flies!

**CHAD** · February 20th, 2004, 04:18 PM

I bet the new model is a sportster/convertible Mercielago.

We will all have to wait and ask GetBit once his R-GT arrives. [img]/images/graemlins/smiles[/img]

Lambo has never really had a "race car" way of thinking.

They have always gone with "our cars are for the street"

But you never know.

If I were to guess..it will be an 4x4/SUV
