Lamborghini 50th Anniversary Model Teased in Video
News of a custom one-off car from Lamborghini celebrating its 50th anniversary emerged weeks ago and now the company is teasing the car, if only for a split second.
Last November, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said the new model “will not be a revival or retro,” while offering little else. The Shadowy image shown above makes the car look like a more squared-off version of the outgoing Gallardo — Lamborghini’s most successful model to date. While it might be easy to assume the car will be a tweaked version of the Gallardo, there are just as many reasons to think otherwise.

While there’s a solid chance the car could, in fact, be one last special Gallardo, it would sell Lamborghini a little short to make that assumption.

I swear to God if it turns out to be the Gallardo J I'm going to S in my Ps... Not in a good way.
Lamborghini under the control of the Germans has become dull and predictable, shame.
