I'm not sure what to think.
A cross between a Lambo, and F1 car, Darth Vadar and of course the Batmobile.
It's late and I'll bet I have troubling dreams over this tonight.
"Of course, this wedge-shaped racecar-for-the-street boasts 750 horsepower and a ludicrous top speed of 220 miles per hour"
Not my cup of tea, but it proves that the world is a wonderful place.

Garish and irrelevant. No thanks.
I would rock it. Best looking lambo in awhile in my opinion.
possibly the ugliest car to ever come out of Italy.......
I'd rock the hell out of that but I am a fan of over the top.
It's got a bit too much in the points/fins/wings department for me, but the shape is nice.

Reminds me of the Audi LeMans entries.... I like.
I think I see a little Cadillac in the front end.
I think I see a little ugly in the whole thing.
it's ugly to grown up eyes, but what did our parents think of the Countach posters that everyone had in their rooms in the 80's?
put a model in a swimsuit next to this thing, and it's the perfect poster for every 12 year old to hang over his bed..
What kind of fighting robot does it transform into? That would largely sway my opinion of it.
Despite the overall ugliness, I think the wheels are the worst part. They look like bead-lockers from a Baja truck...
Well, Marvel has the new Batmobile picked out for Dick Greyson.
I like it as a design exercise. Most of the show cars seem to be so non-production based the thought of actually owning one just seems impossible. Even at a production of three, that is at show car levels.
On a side note, has everyone looked at what cars are headlining Geneva? All are radical and futuristic, and then there is the Porsche 911 GT3. It sticks out like Betty White in a Victoria Secret fashion show.
Yeah way too garish and over-the-top. They should have made something that looks like the Sesto Elemento concept, which is conservative in comparison to this.

I haven't decided yet if the new lambo is ugly or awesome. I'll wait until Jeremy Clarkson tells my what to think.
Makes the Gumpert Apollo look pedestrian.
I was going to buy one to use as a rally cross car.. then I found out they only are making 3, and they are already claimed.

You suck! Stop making fun of him. You're just too uneducated to realize how awesome British stuff is, and how intelligent and informed his opinions are.

There's always the new Ferrari, they're making 499 of those:

Probably a better rally car anyways as there's less superfluous bodywork to fall off and cut a tire. (And its a better looking car IMHO).

Dick Greyson, a.k.a. "Robin" from the Batman story is DC...
regardless, that lambo is a steamy turd

I just started over on all the Top Gear episodes on netflix, again.
I really can't decide at the moment...
It's starting to feel like we're living in The Future!

It's a Lamborghini. If it isn't way too garish and over the top it's not doing it's job. As was mentioned, it's like the Countach was back in the early '70s when it arrived like a spaceship.
It's not supposed to be everyone' s cup o' tea. It's supposed to be polarizing and radical. Woudl I own it? No, but I'm glad it exists, to push those buttons.
