Heard "from the grapevine"...
from someone whom one would expect to know what he's talking about, the original Lamborghini V-12 (whose lineage and genesis can be traced continuously, mechanically, to the first V-12's shown in 1962-1963) will be laid to rest along with the Murcielago.

It remains my dearest project because of all the human experiences i did there in Sant'Agata , all the great people i got to learn and that adopted me as a member of the family. It also was a faithfull companion during my 5 years divorce process that was ...
Congratulations to you, Luc!

Bit sad...
...to see such lineage disappear, but as long as a V-12 lives on... As long as it's not shared too much around the VW group...But economic reality most likely dictates otherwise. The V-12 went from 3.5litres up to the current 6.5litres....But my question ...
re: 'from the grapevine'
Thanks for sharing this bit of inside info. Whatever Lambo will have in store for us with the next gen V-12 I'm sure will be exciting! -MW
A designer gets old when his cars go in pension.... I have almost no black hair left....
Thanks for reminding me to look for a warm place to let my old bones rest in peace , LOL Xheers. Luc
This is the last of the pre Audi/VW takeover car
The last of the pre big conglomerate engineered car. The next one would undoubtably be more user friendly, more bhp, more torque, more comfortable, more everything.
