Nope... I would guess that the front will look like the LP640 and the rear will have something different... and probably some kind of LED taillights...

A LP replacement already? Or are you talking about the SV upgrade.

Good move. The used g market will probably take a hit.

This car will have more hp than superlaggera, look better, newer technology, and will likely cost less $$$. I wouldn't be a happy customer if I just bought a superlaggera, that's for sure!

It would be cool, but Lambo stated that those doors are reserved for V12 lambos.

So ... I just saw the car on 7 high resolution pictures (5 exterior and 2 interior). Pictures are not digital to make the press embargo easier.
I can tell you this: the car is frikkin' awesome!!!

Let me try to 'describe' it for you guys:
FRONT:
Lights: mix between LP640 and Gallardo with LED technology like the R8
Bumper: Think LP640, simply gorgeous!

REAR:
Lights: Longer and more narrow, size of the R8 but with LED's like the LP640
Grill below lights: full length of the bumper (more like the Concept S car but not quite)
Exhaust: think Nissan GTR -> bombastic (4 huge endtips)
Cool diffusor

Racy rims

Interior:
Another font is used for the instruments en the switches on the console have a much nicer finish, nothing really special though.

That's it. Worthless without pictures but I did my very best describing it. When you actually see the first pics everything will become very clear
