LP is longitudinale posteriore, which is simply a beautiful sounding way of saying it is midengined.Which we knew anyway. 560 is 560PS (552bhp), an increase of 32bhp over the old car. Which wasn’t exactly underpowered.The 4 stands for four-wheel drive, which the car always was. Bit iffy. But still.You’ll take the risk of falling asleep while saying the name because you know the car will blow your mind just thinking about it.The major news is a new 5.2-litre V10 with direct injection, 32bhp and 31Nm meatier than the old 5.0, for a total of 552 and 540. It also drinks less and emits less CO2 than the old engine, which will please someone or other in a green hat. The styling has been revised a bit as well: the headlight cluster is new, with ‘daytime-running lights’ like the Audi R8’s.The tail-lamps are slimmer, with the same arrowhead LED graphics as the Reventón. The front bumper is edgier and nastier, the rear spoiler now has a little reversing camera in it. Which is a good idea.You also get new mattefinish colours, including this white.
Inside, you’ll find a multimedia system complete with USB port, Bluetooth and even an effing TV.You also get more or less any colour of leather or Alcantara you want, very little space and the smell of your own fear.You also get a choice of manual or e-gear flappy-paddle ’box; the e-gear is some 40 per cent quicker now, we’re told. Which will help us when we steal the car and howl off into the sunset as God intended.
