Title: Hell freezing over
Post by: CirclesCenter on October 19, 2006, 10:36:41 PM
look closely...

Very closely.

It's a f%$king Lamborghini. I used to hold Lambo in such high regard, if they produce this they move to the bottom of the pile of cars I would own. (Yes I will forsake a whole line of cars over one such pile of shaZam!) Yes i realize the porsche SUV exists, but that was a Volswagen decision that Porsche engineers just had to take... Poor bastards.

Yes, I know, don't remind me.

I was kind of hoping that all the dumbasses involved were drug out behind the factory and shot.

Were the people involved drug out into the street and stoned to death?

Please?

who cares...it's a lamborghini.  Catering to the exotic market means they still have to cater to a market and that market wants SUV's, too.  They either make an SUV and sell cars, or they don't and lose customers.  Simple.

However, trying to find more info on the LmooX (which isn't going to look anything like what's pic'ed above) I found a much more interesting beast:  The Galmer Arbitrage GT.

I'd pay a dollar for that.  I'd drive anyting with a Lamborghini emblem on the front of it.  Don't matter what color it is or how big the tires are, it's a freakin Lamborghini!  Chicks dig em.  And no I don't need to drive a Lamborghini to get chics.  They dig the 87 Nova just as much.

I believe volkswagen owns Lambo or at least a chunk of them these days.  One of the hot rodded audi's, I think the RS6, was going to have(does have?) the Gallardo V-10 in it.

This suv would likely share some architecture with the vw/audi/porsche suvs

Post by: sledge on October 20, 2006, 04:05:26 PM
VW in Europe own Audi, Porsche, SEAT, Bentley, Skoda, Bugatti and lambo and some engines and platforms are shared between the different makes and models. I would bet £10 to a pinch of shite that Executives have demanded a new concept car and the designers have taken a VW Touareg/Porsche Cayenne platform, dropped a big fu** off engine in, dressed it up and stuck a Lambo badge on it.

you guys are all missing the ultra sexy Galmer...

sorry mak forgive my ignorance, but wth is a galmer, never heard of it :dunno_white:
Title: Re: Hell freezing over
Post by: yamahonkawazuki on October 20, 2006, 07:19:20 PM
ahhh nvm i found out, essentially a kit car, designed to use the ls7 (eh 505 hp is enough) i wonder on price tho :dunno_white:
Title: Re: Hell freezing over
Post by: makenzie71 on October 20, 2006, 07:40:09 PM
Galmer is mostly a grand prix/formula race organization loosely based around GM's leftovers...the Abitrage, if I'm not mistaken, is their first street vehicle.  Carbon fiber chassis and body panels, 505hp LS7 (with potential for mounting up GM's LSX)...that's about where the unique stuff stops.  Huge brakes, badass suspension, etc.  You can exect to see this car running 24hr races soon.

It'll only be available in the states as a kit car, though...:(

yup sae that, but now half of the anti-american car group here and on other locations will be screaming wtf its got a chevy outdated ass engine in it  :laugh:

Ferrari's 515hp 5.7 liter V12 is less technologically advanced than the LS7.

what about the koninseg (howerer it is spelled)?
Title: Re: Hell freezing over
Post by: makenzie71 on October 20, 2006, 11:28:12 PM
Konigsegg is awesome...but I can only deal with the roadsters...the coupes are crazy ugly, I don't care how fast they are.

(http://davidnaylor.org/temp/comparison-ccr-ccx-front-side.jpg)

800hp in street-trim is kind of overkill, though...almost no real track potential.  Just straight lines.
Title: Re: Hell freezing over
Post by: Church6360 on October 20, 2006, 11:37:54 PM
roadster looks better, and so damn fast.

still, don't care how ugly, i'd rock a konigsegg, probably try to sleep with it too (it's so fast, i'm attracted to it)
Title: Re: Hell freezing over
Post by: makenzie71 on October 20, 2006, 11:46:02 PM
bah...they look nice and have some beautiful craftsmanshit going on but straight lining everything would get old pretty quick.  I'd prefer something nimble...the only way the CCR could keep up with an Atom or propperly built Attack around a track is if you tied them together.

Atom has a faster rate of accelleration, too, up to around 150mph.

call me old fashioned, but i think 800 ish horse of pure powersliding glory is a wonderous thing to behold, low track times are cool and all, but i'm a street rider/ driver. as long as the vehicle is more than i need (or have the skill to use) for any given situation, then i'm happy.

all else aside, i'd still sleep with one.

although for pure sexy, i'm more of a zonda guy, or a V-8 Vantage, twin superchargers, delicious...

none as good around the track as your fave's but still respectable / outragesouly expensive / drop dead lovely machines.
Title: Re: Hell freezing over
Post by: makenzie71 on October 21, 2006, 12:02:19 AM
I'd much rather have a Zonda than any of them.

Zonda F Roadster.

There has never been a car with such craftmanship before, or will there ever be again.

On the track it is a WEAPON. It is a lightsaber in a toothpick fight.

(http://www.supercars.net/PicFetch?pic=3388-2.jpg) umm usually if you bbuy a car like this or anything of the like, usually the sound system, is NOT what you buy it for.  well shaZam!, you can always change the stereo out ya know  :laugh:

Yeah, all that and the induction howl.

Oh yeah, anyone who says an engine makes a howl noise is lying, the only engine that howls is the Zonda's (the sound clip is so hot.)

Post by: makenzie71 on October 21, 2006, 02:59:50 PM
I dunno...TRD's 3000GT had a pretty eerie sound setup.  All of RuF's cars "howl".  It's not too unique to Zonda...but it is unique.
