Mmm, the prepreg CF unpainted. So sexy.

Those pics are ginormous. 3543x2258.

from the newest C&D

" Not to be outdone by its italian rivals, lambo showed this evil-looking bit of gear at frankfurt, the murcielago R-GT, in unpainted charcoal-gray carbon fiber. a customer race car available for le mans-style competition, the R-GT was developed in part by audi sport (audi owns lambo). like the ferrari GTC, the R-GT uses a 6 liter V12, although lambo chose not to estimate how much horsepower it will make. unlike the production murcielago, which is all-wheel drive, the R-GT is a rear-driver-owing to racing regulations. figure a price beginning somewhere around 500k."

take that FWIW

One of our friends had Lamborgini GTRs, he was gonna run the new lamborgini in ALMS, but theres still a question of what class it should be held in. Their trying to put it in GT class, but it's really a GTS class car

the angle of that turn, combined with the refractory weight distribution shift on a convex angle is proportional to the mediocre concrete fillings entwined in the asphault. This means, with the slope of the turn 4 inches from the curb at a 45 degree angle the weight shift will be partial to cars in second gear, BUT only if the car has a spoiler an sits with an 8 inch ground clearance. The rain adheses to the wheels at a rate twice that of avagadro's number. If you figure out the weight of the car, multiply it by 9.80e8 and divide using one of Koch's postulates, you will still see that Coulomb's law could be the answer by chance.

Yea I agree it is more of a GTS car, and since Ferrari is out next year that sure does open a spot

I'd rethink that statement if I were you. Audi doesn't joke around when they go racing. Look at their history.

Owns Lamborghini. On a corporate level, that is. Well, VW, really. Or, in more general terms, think of it as GM for snobs.
