It also has a new special gearbox...
translated (google) it says>>

At transmission, Lamborghini has not copied the dual-clutch gearbox of the competition but has developed his own system, called SRI (Independent Shifting Rod). Pinions are not placed in series as a traditional box, but "parallel . When a tree gear is engaged in a report, the other tree is ready to engage the next gear. This choice would change speeds on the order of 50ms (458 Italia passes in 60 ms). In addition, transmission weighs only 79 kilo's

just 79kg does not sound as much for such a special box.

Graeme, Many thanks for posting. The Lambo's are nice but not too far from there previous design theme. As for the Pagani I loved the Zonda F but I'm not sure I'm feeling their new design. As for the detail work on the Pagani you certainly have to tip your hat to Pagani and his craftsmen.....bloody spectacular. Over the top for sure but for that money I'd want something unique and that word is covered in all aspects with their attention to detail. WOW!

Have the Lambo stylists been on an origami weekend?
