Latest word on the replacement for the NSX is that it's going to target Ferrari and Lamborghini, likely the F430 and Gallardo. So we're talking somewhere well north of $150K.
The car will have a V10 and Acura's SH-AWD. 4WS was also considered, but that idea appears to have been shelved...

And now it can be revealed. The new black is, um, black.
Chrome wheels have been over for many years, if not forever. (Are you listening, GM?) Even sporty matte anthracite rims are looking a little dated these days. What you need, you man, are jet-black wheels -- glossy painted black wheels...

Lamborghini didn't have any new models to introduce. Instead, the company's "Ad Personam" customization program debuted. This program makes available the Reventon's sinister matte brown/black paint job shown here on the Gallardo Spyder, and the striking blue on the Murcielago behind it. There are also some fancy leather interior treatments you can choose from, too.
Ho hum. So the builder of some of the world's most exciting cars had very little on its stand to increase your pulse rate.
Well, that's not entirely true...

Lamborghini celebrates a Murciélago sales record, with a V12 Murciélago LP460 having the serial number of 3000 going to the United States. While this certainly wouldn't get Toyota executives all giggly, it's big news and a milestone for the Italian sports car maker.
Lamborghini's press release is after the jump.

As of January 1, 2008 VW is changing their name here to "Volkswagen Group of America." The reason for the name change is to give more attention to the Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini nameplates, which are under VW’s brand umbrella, as well as Volkswagen and Audi.
Full story here.
Here's Inside Line's take: Name Game: Volkswagen of America Gets Rechristened

Given its roughly $1.4 million price tag, you wouldn’t think the Lamborghini Reventon would travel much. Well, one made the trip to LA for today’s press conference, and there was a good reason according to Stefan Winkelmann, CEO of Lamborghini. California is the single biggest market in the U.S., and the U.S. is the single biggest market in the world...

Inside Line gets behind the wheel of the Lamborghini Reventon, the 641-hp, 211-mph supercar that will only set you back $1,400,000. That's not a typo.

The Lamborghini Reventon was back on display at the Lambo booth today, and everyone wanted a piece of it. Ten-year-olds with cameras elbowed their way through the throng, and grown men took pictures of each other posing in the driver seat. In short, dignity of any sort died as soon as the sheet came off the Reventon.

The rumors of a new super Lambo are true, but the most remarkable aspect of the new Lamborghini Reventon isn't its horsepower or torque, it's the price -- 1 million euros even. That's more than a 300 percent premium over the Murcielago upon which the Reventon is based.
Forking over an extra $700,000 gets you about 20 extra horsepower, loads of carbon-fiber trim and some questionable bodywork. So yeah, it's not much of a deal, but with only 20 slated for construction in 2008, the exclusivity of the Reventon is the real draw.
"It's the most powerful and expensive Lamborghini ever built," said Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Lamborghini SpA at the reveal here in Frankfurt. Apparently a phrase like that is enough, as all 20 Reventons have already been sold. -- Ed Hellwig, Inside Line Lead Senior Editor

Some people just shouldn't be allowed to drive—or to procreate. One such is Ronald Tridico, who just hours after picking up a brand new $400,000 Lamborghini Murcielago, crashed it. Not only that, he was arrested for drunk driving.
Do I feel sorry for him?..

Getting the most bang for its V12 buck, Lamborghini showed the 2007 Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 Roadster to the Detroit crowd, just as it did to LA onlookers at their show back in November.
But in Detroit the Italians were able to impress us with their 2006 sales figures as well. Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann proudly announced the small automaker sold 2,087 cars in 2006, 876 of those in the United States. In case you haven't been tracking Lambo's annual sales, only 1,600 cars were sold the year before...

Lamborghini Murciélago LP640. Boy, that's a mouthful. It's also an eyeful, but in a good way.
The new Lambo LP640 is the real deal...
January 10, 2006
This is the 40th anniversary of the Lamborghini Miura, and as so, the company saw fit to pay tribute to what many consider the most beautiful sports car of all time: The Lamborghini Miura concept. Frankly I think this is far better looking than original, which to my eyes, was just too fussy with details.
