Bad news!
Why not? The LM002 happened-it does exist...if Lamborghini is in the 'sports' car business-why leave this money on the table? I would hope for multiple body styles that Volkswagen, Porsche, Bentley and Audi shouldn't be building...like a three door* (Porsche maybe) or a soft-top...everybody in Hollywood will have to have one. Pray they aren't considering a 1200 horsepower Bugatti variant of this architecture...because it would look hideous painted pink in Paris Hilton's driveway...
