Default Lambo LP560-4's and Museum Photoshoot

http://ozcarsightings.com/lamborghin...0-4/index.html

Final proper update from Euro land (street/Nurburgring sightings to go).

We rocked up at the Lamborghini factory in Sant'Agata at 8am on a Monday to pick up our two new Gallardo LP560-4's. Two days to do as we pleased so after a look around the factory/museum we headed 400km to Val d'Aosta for our overnight stay - some of the worlds best scenery and roads awaiting us. Never really setup for a photoshoot, just took pics where we stopped....too much fun driving.

The Gallardo has to be the most usable day to day supercar, just so easy to drive yet so much fun. Brutal acceleration with the newest version of the e-gear 'box and one of the worlds best soundtracks to boot (especially in 3km long tunnels)! The only downside is the horrible brakes (we tried both steel and ceramic), absolutely no feel.....press the pedal and you get nothing, so you push harder which in turn slams your head into the wheel. Seems to be a common complaint so not sure why it hasn't been fixed.

The passion of the Italian people is amazing, everyone stops for a chat, waves or beeps their horn in appreciation of the cars.

Oh and the pizza is beyond description!







Heaven in the tunnel


220kmh+ in a 80 zone




Reventon, for Brett


Diablo GT, my favourite!

Best Top Gear Story... ever! I loved every min of that story!

So they get the car straight from Lambo in Italy? I thought it may have been someone from Dubai/Abu Dhabi's car..

Yeah Lambo have dedicated press cars (like these two LP's and the orange SV) which most mags/shows use. At the time (April/May) the first SV hadn't been delivered to a customer so this was their only option.

The Gayeeeardo is such a timeless design. If it came out 15 years a go everyone would have been WOW and if it had come out in 15 years time it would still be a stunning design and fit right in.

Absolutely love them and love Lambo's as a whole. I love the classic wedge shapes, the mahooooosive engines they use and the absolutely crazy colour schemes. Its everything a supercar should be...completely over the top.

Having said all that could Lambo possibly have jammed anymore Audi switch gear in there and a plastic trimmed steering wheel?!? Looking again...A plastic steering wheel with terrible flash lines on the bottom part.

I would still buy one in a flash mind....
