Rarely do automakers switch the front graphics arrangement from two planes (headlights and grill face on “orthogonal” planes, a la Evora or 458) to a single plane (everything in the “vertical” plane, like an R8 or Jaguar’s more pedestrian vehicles).

I humbly suggest that Jalopnik only cover zero-emissions vehicles going forward. It’s the right thing to do.

That’s fine and all, but real jalops are waiting for yellow-illuminated kidney grilles.

Wow. Lamborghini’s current design language looks at home in this format, much more than the oddly-proportioned Egoista. I just hope their more restrained design language - see Asterion, Miura homage, Estoque, Murcielago - also makes a comeback in some production offering.

I’m with you up until the transmission complaints.

FERRARI CAN MAKE THIS BUT YOU CAN’T MAKE ONE FREAKING* ASTERION, LAMBORGHINI?!?

“First hired only six years ago as a sound engineer, new Ferrari CEO Bubb Rubb has replaced Louis “Uomo del Gas” Camilleri as the company’s leader.”

There’s something about Lotuses, windy two-lanes, and perfect autumn days...

Ditto. If the 4C had no design constraints, I think it’d be this.

That’s an S1 Elise, one of the lightest things around. Those magnetic jacks are actually preventing the car from floating up any higher.

If that’s not a Mustang Maxx, I don’t know what is.

(Sorry, I forgot the /s to my post.)

OMG its 2019 there’s a thing called drones.........

Hypocrisy is hypocrisy is hypocrisy.

Ah yeah. I wonder if they passed on the Reventon because of styling similarities to the Tumbler.

Reventon was ~2 years after Batman Begins. But even so, only Murcielago means “bat”.

With a mild update to the exterior styling, this would be my choice if (God-forbid) I had to buy a luxury SUV today. It’s the DBX’s mature, if quirky, cousin.

I think it has something to do with the basic forms used by those manufacturers — like lightly-massaged soap bars. Imagine a Spyker or Koenigsegg, minus scoops, fancy mirror stalks, vents, etc. Now do the same for a Lotus Elise. One is Irish Spring or Dove, and the other is Coke.

Nice. I’ve had the Tron soundtrack on my driving CDs for years. Another great driving artist is KOAN Sound:
