This spy video shows a suspicious Lamborghini Gallardo circling the Nurburgring, rumored to be a new entry level V8 model sporting the 4.2L motor from Audi’s R8. The key giveaway is the downsized exhaust pipes seen in previous spy shots. Onlookers also said the car ran noticeably quieter than the current V10, but we’ll let you be the judge.
doesnt SOUND like the rs4 v8 but it will no doubt have a sporty exhaust to match the badge.,.
Only girly men will choose the V8 over the V10. Way to cannibalize sales…
yep , that is definitely the V8 versione
It doesn’t sound like a V8 to me but the move would make sense when you consider that Audi owns Lamborghini and the last thing they would want to do is make a superior contender to their own car, despite the fact that the V10’s are out and about still this is a car they could put in that class and possibly beat which only leave Porsche as competition but instead of being last in class they’ll be 2nd
.
What we’ve noticed is the engine doesn’t sound high-pitched as the normal Gallardo V10. This has a deeper tone to the shrill of the Lambo V10.
I didnt get any sound from this video.
Steve - it’s basic flash video. If you can hear videos on YouTube you should be able to hear this. Have you upgraded to the latest version of Flash?
