Well, duh, Bruce Wayne probably owns Lamborghini....
Of course they're disposable too.

They are projecting a weight of 2200 pounds with the current 570 HP V10. :D

It looks to me like they are trying to get back to building cars like the Countach and get some of their bad boy attitude back.

Full carbon fiber chassis, full carbon body, full carbon supports. Ultra light motor. The production car will be revealed at Geneva.

Nice to finally see a current production car below the ton and a half mark. I just didn't expect it to be that powerful, or that light. We're talking Miata light here.

Look out Pagani, the old boys are back in town and they brought some new toys with them

Or you could build an LSX Miata for ~$5k.
Just saying...

but then it wouldn't be a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, mid engine AWD monster powered by a 570hp V10 that looks like the batmobile that darth vader would drive
but yes, an LSX miata would be a MUCH cheaper way to get the same basic power/weight ratio and do a MUCH better job of scaring yourself halfway to death. even better, start with a Spec Miata project that someone abandoned halfway through, add a bit of FM tubular suspension stuffs and some Afco suspension, get an LS9 and the supercharger out of a new ZR1 Corvette, run it through aftermarket engine management and run a very free flowing exhaust and you have a quite possibly sub-2000 pound car with 640hp+ and then prepare to spend any and all disposible income on buying new rear tires and underwear

GLORY. BE.
THAT is how it's done, folks. Plus it looks bad ASS.
I'll bet it gets "decent" fuel mileage (for an exotic) with that low weight.
If they can just nail down quality control a bit more, they'll be golden. I've read about some serious issues while browsing a Lambo board. One dude was ready to set his Balboni aflame.

I was thinking stealth. Kind of looks like they may have had this poster on the wall.
Wonder how it works with radar.
