  1. The backlash porsche received over building cars such as the cayenne, diluting the sports brand, was put to rest with reasons such as 'we're building these so we can continue to fund the 911's'. Though porsche are now part of the monster that is VW, I think Lambo haven't really had that excuse about funding to justify building niche cars to dilute the brand from what it currently is. This is just my interpretation of it anyway. I've never understood why VW never bothered with the Bugatti Galibier, I know Bugatti's are both expensive for R&D and they tend to lose money on the cars, but the amount of publicity and headlines these cars make for the brand, it'd be a no brainer. Perhaps they've got something huge up their sleeve for the future, I think they do simply due to how much time that brand has had between first releasing the veyron and then simply making slightly tweaked versions since.
  2. The issue with them continuing the angular design is that they love to push the boundary, and continue to make people go 'omg' everytime. They got that result with the Egoista concept, but as an actual car, I think it's a step too far, for a concept, amazing.
  3. Interesting profile for a lambo though. CURVES?!?!?!?! Aston/Zagato-esque (if you're american, you're now allowed to mention a ford fusion below, as I mentioned the word aston). I know if you look at a Huracan from the side, it's a bit more fluid than the previous lambo designs, but from the front/back it's still angular etc. I'm hoping this will debut a new design language for Lambo, something a bit more curvey and less 'YOU ME OUTSIDE' than the past few. Something stunning for its curves, like Kelly Brook, not stunning like, say, Adriana Lima (I'm a crap gay). More Jag E/F-Type beauty, less Merc GT beauty. This would also agree with a Miura kind of car, much more curvy.
  4. I'd want it to look as stock and original as possible on the outside, award-winning kind of thing, but have an absolute monster powertrain underneath.
  5. Thought i'd make a thread about this as it's pretty cool, I love it when car companies tease cars before a launch. The moment they 'leak' or preview a car before its autoshow launch makes it lose that coolness though, why wreck the suspense?! absolutely no need and I hate how common this has become.... ....Anyway. What are people thinking? - Production, or revised concept (eugh) of the Lambo Estoque from a few years back. Loved that concept. - Lambo SUV? It's VW afterall, they love to milk the money machine :rolleyes: boooring-ish. - Lambo espada revival kind of car, something to rival the Ferrari FF hatchback thing/2+2 thingy - Something completely different/new niche/new lalalala car. Try to put any new info that is well, not meant to be known as it's not come from Lambo, in the spoiler brackets please :D Discuss.
  6. :lol: Come to think of it, it was probably written in French and translated, and got lost in translation hence such an obvious blunder. As for which car I'd have, If it were the real world and not the game I'd probably be boring and go for the M5 even though the two muscle cars are very rare over in Europe and would be much more of a 'bonding' experience. If i wasn't going to be boring, I'd probably have the Camaro over the mustang.
  7. '.where the only limits are the pacific and the atlantic' ahhh okay, so south america, canada etc are all drivable then? I think not :lol:
  8. Day out in Monte Carlo, I apologise for the awful quality of the photos and awful angles, but It was hot and I had no sunglasses with me so I could barely see the photo I was taking :p Two Lambos: Bugatti Veyron Vivere by Mansory (worth 2.5mill+ :eek:) Another Mansory, this time the Conti GT: Classic SL: Rolls with a F430: Porsche 918 Spyder :D:D:D Probably the best sounding car of the day: Gemballa :lol: TWIZZZZYYYYYYYY Sorry for how dark this is haha:
  9. The Ford GT and the landscape reminded me of TDU, though with better graphics of course. The lack of features over the XB1 game is worrying, how many of these features are missing because they're not possible on the old format, and how many are missing because they're trying to get $$$$ from people to upgrade?
  10. Link removed as both myself and other users have had inappropriate pop ups when accessing the site. If you can host it somewhere more PG-13 friendly it'd be appreciated :) Thanks!
  11. Yup the 'friendly banter' that went on during the period where the 360 online was quite reliable and the PC was not, was quite entertaining. The 'free' DLC mention is promising, the money grabbing that goes on in games like the sims and GTA is off putting, so it's good to see the crew going the other way and rewarding its fanbase.
  12. I'm more of a Tea kinda guy tbh. Looking good mate!
  13. The duomo in Milan was more impressive than the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona to me, though I guess it's because I much prefer the Duomo's type of architecture. My parents preferred the Sagrada though.
  14. We'll have been in St.Tropez and cannes at the same time, however we were in Monaco the week before you. Probably why I recognise some of the cars then
  15. When were you there? I recognise a few of the modified supercars from when I was there a few weeks ago.
  16. I feel quite bad for hamilton, he's been having to put a lot more effort into obtaining his points than Rosberg. Haven't watched the race as I failed to find a decent sports bar while in Venice, but I followed it live via twitter and it sounded great.
  17. Ha, that was me on Atari EU 7 years ago, everyone starts somewhere. Look at me now [ignore the tiger onesie incident!] :leaves:
  18. Agreed Clarence, Unfortunately I'm away for the Beta period, so i'll just have to wish everyone good luck in grabbing a code and to hope those that get them spend a lot of time giving feedback! :D
