Lambo to reveal new 'super sports car'

Published: 05 Aug 2011

Lamborghini has revealed it intends to debut a new ‘super sports car' at the upcoming Frankfurt motor show. And we have no idea what it is.

The Italian automaker has hinted that the new supercar will be red, while simultaneously - and mysteriously - releasing some information from last weekend's Spa-Francorchamps Blancpain Super Trofeo series; the fastest one-make racing series in the world.

At Spa, one of the 17 Lamborghini race cars - car #1 Automobili Lamborghini VIP - was coloured up in a new red livery, which ‘surprised both drivers and race fans'.

And Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann himself noted: "Lamborghini always aims to surprise and excite. Red is the colour of race cars in Italy: we are celebrating 150 years of Italian unity in our Super Trofeo series..."

The smart money is on Lamborghini, whose motor show form has been astonishing of late, debuting a very hardcore, bone-breaking, road-going race-bred Gallardo. That model is reported to be nearing the end of it's life cycle anyway. Or, as an outside bet, could it finally be the production version of the spectacular and rather stupendous Sesto Elemento concept we saw last year?

Your thoughts, please. And since Lamborghini is being a bit coy, why not use the Internet space below to tell us what kind of Lamborghini you'd like to see at Frankfurt.

*Note: ‘first comment' isn't a Lamborghini.
