SPIED: Does Lamborghini's All-New Range-topper Boast Testarossa-Like Qualities?

CAR Magazine:

This might be a grainy, long-distance spy shot, but even from far away it’s obvious that this sleek wedge is Lamborghini’s 2011 replacement for the Murcielago. Taken near Estoril in Portugal, this image is our latest look at 2011’s new range-topping Lamborghini supercar.

The new 2011 Lamborghini Murcielago looks a bit, well, ‘Eighties’…

So you’ve spotted the strakes in the side intakes then? And of course the wedge shape was going to remain, emphasised by the short length – today’s Murcielago is shorter than a Mondeo. Expect the final design to be Reventon-inspired and a strong step forward from today’s Murci, but it’ll still be a Lamborghini and it’ll definitely be dramatic – scissors doors will (of course) be present...

re "Testarossa-Like Qualities" -- Hey "00R", talk to a few folks who have owned a Testerosa. They'll tell it was sexy looking, but heavy, and heavy-handling. Quite a looker, but not a joy to drive. These are not qualities most of us would be boasting about today.

I was referring ONLY to the exterior styling -- notably the side intakes and what appears to be a buttress.

It looks as though this mule has a Gallardo-esque front and a Testarossa rear.

Yeah, sorry... too many watermarks for me to make out anything.
