Lamborghini Cabrera Spotted for First Time

About a week ago, we brought you a report that Lamborghini was already working on a replacement for the Gallardo supercar and that it would be ready in concept form at least for the upcoming 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. It seems the rumors were correct, because a full-bodied prototype has been scooped.

We don't know the details behind this picture, but it appeared on Shmee150's Facebook page a few hours ago and has been causing a lot of discussion.

The look of the new V10 supercar is different to what we thought it would be and quite a departure from the Gallardo. The bonnet seems quite long for a mid-engined car, reminding us of a Noble M600.

Power for the Cabrera will come from an updated V10 engine rated at 600 horsepower. All-wheel drive and an automated gearbox will probably be standard except for the very rare RWD special editions that are coming later in the model's life.

There's not a lot we can tell you right now, so we'd like to hear from you. What do you guys think of the design? Is it a winner or not?

Either way, the Gallardo has at least 2 more years before it's replaced, so there's plenty of time to buy the right car.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
