STUD or DUD: Does The Lamborghini LP700-4 "Aventador" Look Too Gallardo?

So, this is the car that we've been waiting for. This has been one of a handful of cars that constantly was caught wearing camouflage and after recently leaked footage we can confidently say that its V12 motor screams when you squeeze the gas.

Now there's no more swirly paint jobs or heavy metal cladding. Now we're getting a taste of the real stuff. Sporting a bitchin' orange paint job and surrounded by some of Lamborghini's legendary models, we're a little curious:

Is this what a flagship Lamborghini should look like OR does its design have a little TOO much Gallardo in it?

Also, take a nice, long look at the LP700's interior. Notice anything a little different? See any Audi influences? From this angle it looks like Lambo is using Audi's MMI on the center console. Is this a GOOD or BAD thing?

Weigh in on the comments down below...

to me it looks like they took the Gallardo, Reventon, Mercielago,and Diablo and made this....but it came out spectacular oh and also the rear fascia says Lamborghini Estoque Concept....IMO

It's what the Gallardo should have been! The Gallardo always seemed somewhat unsubstantial to me, but this thing is pure sex on wheels.

@Joe_Limon, maybe you could help me out with this since you are the mechanical engineer. I understand that exposed window candle handle the stress and strain; but do you think it is wise considering that the doors are in Lambo's signature scissors position will take on the stress and strain?

To me, the 2007 Gallardo spyder was the hottest looker. I'm not liking the angularity of this thing at all, or the tail end.

I like the front and side view a lot but the back and tail lights is kind of odd looking. And yes it does look very similar to the Gallardo and Reventon.

Agree looks like a stretched Gallardo LP560-4. This design looked great in early 2000s but now it has become little predictable and not as WOW as before(but if the change means Ferrari FF type designs than it is better there is no change to the traditional Supercar design).
Like the front and side but rear end looks odd especially the Countach inspired tail lights and the grilles below them. But Lambos always look great in person so have to see it in real before judging.

Honestly. Who would pick that car over the Lexus LF-A?

Never!!!!! And the fact that folks boosted me up even makes me want to do it more, and more, and more. Get used to it if you aren't already.

I loved it! Maybe I'm biased because I always dreamed of driving them since I was a Kid.It looks just the way Lambos should...IMHO.

You have to love how the brakes fill the space, it must stop on a dime, every vehicle made should capitalize on using up as much room as possible for larger rotors for better stopping power, especially trucks because they generally have poor stopping ability.

these brakes require a H.A.N.S. system
