Nothing gets us excited like a grainy, hard to make out, looks like it was shot on a Daguerreotype camera spy photo of a car that isn’t supposed to be spotted…yet. The car in question this time? The new Lamborghini replacement to the now late Murcielago.

Sadly, this photo from the 1800s is all we have to go on at this point. But in it we do see a car that has a very, very long backside. So long, in fact, that it looks nearly identical in profile to a Jaguar XJ220, one of the world’s fastest yet weirdest looking supercars (see below). We also know that the large and in-charge, naturally aspirated V12 that was used in the previous Murcielago will be carried over to its replacement. And the horses? We’re guessing around 700 of them. Umm, yes please.

With that being said, however, we totally agree with the boys at CarMagazine when they said, “it looks a bit, well, ‘Eighties’…” And because sketchy, hard to look at spy shots are always right, we volunteer to cast the first ‘design-judgement’ stone.

What do you think?
