From a styling point of view this car certainly has flair and a different aproach, personally like the rest of you, I think it would look better without the split windscreen, however that may be more down to being used to that rather than the split window looking bad. Personally I like this car a lot.

If you mean nobody's ever made a car with a split windscreen then your wrong it has been done before but I can't remeber which cars off the top of my head. Other than that most of the design is taken from the Murcielago, it's just a fantastic compination of new and different details added to it.

Straight out of the 80s. Wow.

Ferrari has lost passion compared to Lamborghini?
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Let's see,
- Ferrari is the dominant force in Formula One (which has to have Il Commendatore smiling like a madman up in heaven, as well as probably giving Colin and Uncle Ken little jabs in the ribs every so often)
- Ferrari has made a return to sports car racing by producing competition versions of the Modena (360GTC) and Maranello (575GTC) along with the factory supported Prodrive effort that won the GTS class at Le Mans. This is coupled with the factory and privateer Maserati MC12's that dominated FIA GT upon being allowed into the series AND are poised to dominate GT1 in the ALMS come Sebring time.
- Ferrari roadcars not only are exceeding sales expectations, but are returning to the company's roots as per the return to V12 engines, front engine tourers (the flat 12 mid engine cars just HAD to DIE), and incorporating more and more of their racing lineage.
- Maserati, one time Ferrari rival, is now under the Scuderia's wing and has made a successful return to the States AND is poised to set new sales records with the critically acclaimed Quattroporte sedan.
What's Lamborghini accomplished? A sale to Volkswagen and two, count 'em, TWO races with the aborted Krohn/Barbour Racing factory Murciealago R-GT before they pulled the plug (something about a GTS car being slower than GT class Porsches AND constantly breaking rear suspension components due to racing stress).
Sorry, Lamborghini is still a petulant little tractor man's vulgar attempt to show up Ferrari. The only time Lamborghini has ever EVER come close to Ferrari was in 1968. Lamborghini debuted the Miura, Ferrari the 365GTB/4 Daytona. The Daytona was faster, handled better, and was more reliable, but the Miura was more exotic and stylish.
I wish that Ferrucio Lamborghini wouldn't have been a pig-headed idiot and would have allowed Bob Wallace, Giampaolo Dallara, and the infamous Jota to compete at Le Mans against the Daytona Competizione. That would've been one hell of a Le Mans GT battle.

Who cares? Ferrari is becoming overrated. Belive it or not, but every Lamborghini that came out was the fastest road car for a short time. A very short time.
Lamborghinis though are more exclusive and unqiue. Unlike Ferraris where it can take less than a week to build, Lamborghini's take 12 days for the Murcielago Barchettas.
Ferrari has better sells because it has different models for different people and prices.
And too many people associate the Enzo as the F60. It's NOT!
Lamborghini's are full-on monsters. So they're not better than most cars, they stick to the type of Supercars I love. They're not the fastest d*mn things out there (really, how many times are you going to put the Enzo or S7 up yo 210+Mph?), and they're just an all-out supercar of what supercars are. Although by today's standards, they aren'tsupercars, just exotic cars. And beautifuls at that. I'd take a 350GTV over an Enzo ANY day.
BTW, Ferruccio accomplished more than Enzo did.
Ferruccio came from the ground up. Tractors to cars to heaters/air conditioners, to wines and now, even boat engines. All I see Ferrari doing today is building road and race cars.
Lamborghini is just...a car that really can't be sumed up in 1 word.

****in A Ferrucio accomplished more than Enzo Ferrari did!
Enzo Ferrari was an accomplished engineer, a brilliant racing driver (for which he was knighted), a well known trade journalist, and was a winning team boss for Alfa Romeo back in the days when Auto Union and Mercedes Benz were getting government money.
Ferrucio Lamborghini was a businessman who felt insulted by Enzo Ferrari when Enzo told him that he shouldn't comment on how performance cars were built.
Il Commendatore was a racer, an engineer, and a team boss. He dedicated his whole life to racing and performance and it shows in every fiber of a Ferrari. You look at the finest examples of the Ferrari breed and you see thinly veiled racing cars, if not all out racers. You see an indomitable spirit, the will of victory and the honor of royalty.
And, by the way, the 350GTV was a cheap knock-off of Maserati Mistral/AC 428 styling.

Haha. LMAO!
You can't even get the right Lamborghini model right.
That's a 350GT.
And there's nothing similiar about them at all. Many cars have that bodystyle.
And btw, Enzo was being an a**, and don't even comment on Lamborghini being bought by VW. Ferrari was bought by Fiat, and last time I checked VW has been producing a car faster than Fiat.
OH yeah, its a cheap knockoff alright.

Cut the arguement. It's flooding this thread with spam. Just discuss about the Lamborghini Concept S please.

Batman: Look robin we got a new batmobile!?VipFREAKBatman: Look robin we got a new batmobile!?
Robin: Holy bat caves batman looks like we sure did!?
Robin: WHAT !!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!!!!!!
I think that is more like it.
Oh an I really like the car. I don't think it is practicle at all (a window for looking back when needed?? THat makes it sound like it was the last thing they considered. Oh wait it's a concept).

More to the point, give the car a proper screen and cockpit, you got a Gallardo roadster. It'll look damn good standard and is very striking as a concept. Lamborghini has always been more striking that Ferrari and even normalised it'll still be more striking than a 430 Modena. Given that the Gallardo is a comeptitor to the F430 it only makes sense to build an open version.

Sorry to tip the same cow over twice, but I want to clear up one tiny detail... Ferrari is not owned by Fiat Auto. It is owned by Fiat Group, who owns Fiat Auto (and Alfa and Lancia). Ferrari just recently (VERY recently) sold Maserati off to the Fiat Group as well. Fiat Group owns 56 percent of Ferrari.

Ferrari is also sucking off of the FIA's teet, allowing them to run away with the championship with ease. Need I remind you of Ferrari F1 of the 80s, when they were pretty much only as good as the Lamborghini F1 effort of the same era?
A factory approved effort, not really factory supported. And I should point out that the Ferraris won only 1 year out of 3 tries. Chevrolet has won 3 out of 5 years. Would this not make Chevrolet superior to Ferrari, by your standards?
And the Maserati MC12 is an abomintion of the spirit of the GTS/GT1 rules that only snuck into being allowed after they heavily modified the car from what they originally planned. It dominates the series because it has almost no relation to the 575GTCs, 550-GTSs, S7Rs, Viper GTS-Rs, and Murcielago R-GTs
Not to mention the fact that Ferrari no longer owns Maserati...
Return to V12s? They've had them for nearly a decade now. Where have you been? They may be exceeding sales expectations, but their build quality is still horrible.
Ferrari has sold Maserati to FIAT Auto, meaning that Ferrari no longer has any control over the poorly selling Maserati brand. Maserati is now tasked with aiding Alfa Romeo improve.
Formula 1 attempts while under the control of Chrysler. Mediocre success with the Japanese Lamborghini Owners Club (JLOC) in the JGTC with their Diablo JGT-1 and now Murcielago R-GT, as well as the AMPREX R-GT in the same series. Plus Reiter Engineering's R-GT success in FIA GT. The Krohn-Barbour R-GT was hindered only by a lack of factory support. But then again, it's the project's first year. Need I remind you that the Prodrive Ferrari 550-GTS burned to the ground in it's first attempt?
Reiter Engineering as well as a few other teams enjoyed success with the Diablo GTRs in FIA GT.
