Agreed, it doesn't sound fiesty enough, and it shouldn't be taken onto the production car IMO. That being said, Jota is an old Lamborghini name/designation; google P400 Jota.
I'm actually really, really liking the form of the car, even in its disguise. The side intake/door area really looks amazing. It's rare for me to feel so passionatly about pre-production disguised cars, but this definitely looks like it will be stunning when it's unveiled. It seems longer than the Murci too, which is nice for differenciating the proportions from the Gallardo.

They've never used Historic model names, anyway. There's gotta be another fighting bull out there somewhere...
I'm also horridly concerned about that "Sideblade" on the camo. I marginally like Lamborghini...but if that stupid R8 styling cue makes it to production I'm gonna have to renounce my membership in the fanclub.

^I fail to see how an engine of that much displacement and power can be green. Unless they do that cylinder shut off, ninja hybrid sort of thing.

That sideblade could just be part of the camo to hide what the real lines of the car are like (though, this being a Lambo, I can't see them being that different to the camouflaged car), similar to how manufactuers hide the form of smaller details like headlights and such with camo tape.
Agreed about the historic names though, though I do suspect this is just a temporary name considering the history behind the old one (conforming to FIA appendix J regulations, hence Jota, being Spanish for J... That's from Wikipedia). Also there was the recent Miura concept, historic name but never came to production. Oh and there's this quote on Wikipedia from Stefan Winkelmann (Lamborghini's CEO):
The Miura was a celebration of our history, but Lamborghini is about the future. Retro design is not what we are here for. So we wont do the Miura.

I was very excited with it until you said the "E" word...E...E...Estoque 
. Now I have to wash my eyes after reading that sole word, "Estoque" should be filtered in all forums and appear as "🤬".
However, I liked the Jota a lot, those big air intakes in the sides might be a clue of a tremendously powerful bull under the hood (Just like Duffers said...terrific power, 100+HP than the standard LP640). It just needs a Verde Ithaca paintjob, another name, and it'll be a proper Lamborghini.
I don't want to be rude but Sports cars =/= Ecology. People have to face it. Even though it uses ethanol or whatever, it's still contaminating. But in my opinion, this aren't the cars that have to sacrifice performance for ecology. They should be eficient, why not, but for the low production numbers they have and the low mileage they do they don't polute too much compared to other cars. City cars are the ones that polute the most, and have to go Hidrogen/Electric and be zero-emissions, just so we can enjoy things like this without remorse

It'll probably be the same when the Diablo 6.0 was really just re-engineered to a 6.2-liter.
I'm also sure the firing order will remain the same to keep that Lamborghini V12 sound.
Jota was a name given more to limited edition, high performance models as well, so I don't believe Lamborghini would signify the new car as such.
You do realize more Diablos were sold with the VT system than RWD, right? Or that 70% of the power in the VT system is sent to the rears, so it can still snap away.

When I first heard "Jota," I thought of this:
Anyway, outside of the SV, I never cared much for the big Lambo. Hopefully this will change that, but I'm not getting my hopes up too high. Otherwise, I think the bread-and-butter is with the little kids now.

Lambo's were never particularly sure footed; being 10 feet wide, a hundred feet long and weighing nearly as much as a 3000GT (not that they handled bad. Just that they were rather nasty). Having all wheel drive allows the millionaire yuppies who buy Lambos to be repeat customers, because it is harder to be continually buy into a brand when you are very dead.
Suffice to say, I have no problem with AWD Lambos. I just wish that when Lamborghini does throw out the occasional RWD model that they would stop detuning them.

It'll probably be an AWD car, but I'd at least like to see it be offered in RWD.
The awesomeness of old Lambos like the Diablo and Countach was that they were animals that were difficult to drive, or at least more extreme. I'd bet that you see a lot more AWD Lamborghinis sold because you have rich people who probably couldn't care less about cars buying them as status symbols. And that isn't Lamborghini IMO. That's Toyota status.
Hopefully this thing will be more extreme than the Murcie. I have a lot of respect for the car, but it just doesn't do it for me.

Looking good.
I really liked the challenge that the Murcie put forward. There is something about the size, the noise and that evil stance that makes a Lambo differ from all others.
I too, would love to see a Rwd version. Unfortunatley of all the cars sold (as it is with every supercar) 95% of them will probably never do anything except take off quick from the lights. And the owners couldn't care less for RWD.
