Lamborghini has launched a new website called the Hexagon Project. It looks to be the go to place for the latest official teasers on the new V10-powered Cabrera supercar. Having the mighty task of filling the impressive boots left by the Gallardo, we’re expecting the Cabrera to be very special indeed.
For now the new website doesn’t offer much more than a starter button and a very nice sounding engine. When that changes we’ll be sure to let you know.
Lamborghini may have just sent the last Gallardo down the line, but it’s full steam ahead for its replacement, the Cabrera. If this rendering from Italian magazine Quattroroute is anything close to accurate then we’re going to be drooling over the Cabrera for many years to come.
The translation for the heading above is “Ready for take off”, which seems very fitting for Lamborghini newest supercar.

Amidst all the excitement of the Lamborghini Cabrera spottings last week Automedia has seen fit to come good with a couple of renderings to show how sensational the production model could look.
Shown here in Spyder and hardtop (below) versions it ain’t half hot mum! And we’re very pleased to see there’s a fair bit of Sesto Elemento in this look. Let’s hope it’s half way accurate.

Following yesterday’s update on the all-new Lamboghini Gallardo replacement, the Cabrera, here’s a couple of videos for you. Both were filmed trackside at the Nürburgring and the second clip has a small bonus for Porsche fans as well.
Lamborghini is well known for releasing new iterations of its very fine Gallardo supercar and now we’re facing the prospect of another one. But the good news here is that this is an all-new model and not another “one-off” limited edition finale.
A new Lambo prototype, codenamed LP724, has been snapped at the Nürburgring in recent days. It’s expected the Gallardo-replacement will be ready for sale around the middle of 2014, after making its show debut in Geneva next March.
Believed to be called the Cabrera the new name follows tradition by referencing a family of Spanish bulls and not likeable golfers from Argentina.
Parent company Audi won’t be missing the boat here either and the Cabrera and the next-gen R8 will be built around a common modular spacefame. There will still be major differences between the two cars with the R8 to have its wheelbase extended by 30mm to allow for greater interior comfort.
Meanwhile, the new entry-level Lambo supercar will look to the ball-tearing Sesto Elemento for its exterior inspiration. Lamborghini will stick with a 5.2 litre V10 for the Cabrera with revisions expected to deliver as much as 600hp (450kW).
Interestingly Autocar reports the car will come standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, leaving a 7-speed DSG from the R8 to be an option only. This would contradict a two-year-old rumour suggesting Lamborghini would not be using manual boxes for any future models.
