Dick Fidd is infamous around these parts
Weight reduction says 66lbs from the gearbox, but what about the other ~200lbs from the front driveline? Will the next Superleg be 2WD???

You are not seeing the "lone standing" tree in this forest...

Mr V is retired and is on private contract with Lambo...as such they wanted to caplatize on his name and departure from the company..BUT knowing Mr V, he would not allow the release of his name on this brand without a specific requirment of the vehicle to be the way they were as he knew them and loved them, true manual shift gate with a rear wheel drive...as in the Miura,Countach, early Diablo' and GT of 1999/2000 as well as his stated "favorite the 1994 SE30.

Lambo and Mr V are happy, they all make some money and he gets the last for his "deserving followers" of all these years.

When he his done in less than 2 years, and after this car is sold out...Lambo will then be able to move onto where they want to take the company...with out the fear of continued questions and comments of "return" to the good old days..BUT not only will Lambo be doing this, others as well, F cars, P cars...all the good ones are doing away with the "customer" wants....and in the real world they HAVE to in order to stay competive and profitable...yet the result is possible a car that does not cater to our old ways...it is a new generation coming on us "old duffers" fast...

I have said for 5 years now, and will say again..come 5-10 years from know...and you will hear.

"Remember when you could buy a great Diablo for $150-$175K..?.darn shoulod have got one then, didnt the same thing happen to the Miura???"
