I can't wait to see this thing on Top Gear and 5th Gear:

It will be fast in a straight line, sound good, but will still be slower round a track compared to the Cheaper Gallardo Super Alphabet

Lambo's make my heart swell and adrenaline rush... unfortunately my bank account is like an anvil dropped on my head from a great height

It is a very 'edgy' styling but it is good to read that they have made a host of improvements to the handling etc, but to anyone does that sound like the transition from Murcielago to Aventador is possibly (?) like the transition from the R34 GTR to R35 GTR ie it is easy and maybe almost slightly boring to drive on the edge/at full speed? Or is it just modern supercars are so refined/electronically controlled it makes them easier to drive for everyone and they are less 'wild on the edge'.

Any time the third pedal is removed, a fair amount of "edge" is taken off.

Doesn't matter what kind of car it is.

Agreed.

The car looks amazing though. If they've changed this much with the Aventador, it makes me wonder what changes they'll make to the Gallardo.

This Sounds and looks amazing was a huge fan of the Murcielago but this is another level altogether. I am in Italy atm and have seen about 5 of these in the flesh and photos do no justice it's amazing.

Can't wait for a Top Gear feature.
