Should the baby Lambo grow up?

Lamborghini has trademarked the Deimos name, and sure as night follows day, the internet rumourmill has gone into overdrive over what will wear the badge inspired by the Greek god of 'the terror of war.'

The first Lambo SUV since the LM002 isn't the really interesting upcoming project from Sant'Agata though. For a while now I've been more interested in just how Lamborghini are going to go about replacing the ageing Gallardo, especially given how the 'baby supercar' game has moved since it first emerged in 2003.

While the Gallardo has been on the scene as the crucial entry-level model in Lambo's two car lineup, Ferrari replaced the 360 with the F430, and then blitzed that with the 458 Italia. Lambo's VAG cousin Audi gave us the revelatory R8 V8, and followed it up with the V10 iteration featuring the Gallardo's own motor in the back.

And then there's McLaren, who, despite what opinion you may hold of the MP4-12C's name, styling, or emotional tendencies, undeniably rewrote the rulebook on sports car chassis setup and dynamics.

This leaves me wondering, as the Gallardo soldiers on via special editions and pretend road racers (STS anyone?), what direction should the new one take?

Parent brand Audi, itself bankrolled by VW, has enjoyed massive sales success of late and could potentially put its hand deep enough into its pockets to fund a techno-showcase supercar like the 12C or 458. However, with McLaren's hydraulic non-ARB suspension patented to within an inch of its life, how can Lambo challenge without plaigirism?

If they plump to win the outright power war instead they'll need over 600 horses to knock out the 592bhp Macca, yet alone the 562bhp Ferrari. But if the 'New-llardo' gets over 600bhp, it'll be catching up to the range-topping 690bhp Aventador uncomfortably fast...

Lambo don't have a dual clutch transmission either, instead going for neck-snapping 'drama' in the Aventador. Audi are developing one for the next R8, but how bespoke will that make the New-llardo if it gets the same 'box?

It seems to me as if Lamborghini, much as I love 'em, are slightly caught out in no man's land. They're not as innovative as the F1-manufacturer road cars, and while I admit the Aventador does bring pushrod suspension and a full carbon cell to a new area of the marketplace, it's still a class above the Gallardo.

However, Lambo aren't the lunacy big boys any more either, as Pagani and Spyker have cornered the boutique esoteric supercar niche. Lamborghini are in the mainstream, but don't have the mainstream supercar advancements, so where does that leave them?

Motoring hacks would surely love the New-llardo to be manual only, have a RWD option, and drop weight rather than add power. But buyers are a fickle bunch and 'less is more' tends not to be viewed as progress by the likes of Lambo's clientele.

I'm very much looking foward to the new baby Lambo, because it's got some serious choices to make as it grows into its second iteration.

(Hopefully it'll be better looking than the Aventador too.)

This is a dramatic-looking motor vehicle. Not a good-looking one.

DS: Vive Le Difference

A trip down to central London last week to the UK unveiling of the new Citroen DS5 marked my first PR event as a young motoring hack. Here are some impressions of a new experience, a decent learning curve, and an enjoyable evening.

Star of the show was the brand new DS5. Imposing, sleek, and unashamedly French, it cuts a dash stationary in a showroom, even presented in inoffensive grey. It'll look like nothing else on the road - I was expecting a raised car like the DS4, but far from being a coupé on stilts, the roof of the DS5 sweeps downhill in a rake not dissimilar to the gorgeous original DS hidden away in the corner of the room. Think BMW 3 Series Touring footprint, but Mercedes CLS height. 

Project design leader Andy Cowell flew in from Paris especially for the event at the SMMT's swanky new headquarters in Westminster: here's a couple of clips of the man himself explaining the inspiration and premise behind the DS line in general, and the DS5 in particular:

One of the interesting points hidden away between the PR speak was the admittance that after the roaring success of the 'anti-retro', Mini bating DS3, the DS4 is something of an unknown quantity. In the DS range, it's the car that bears closest resemblance to its cooking C# sister - the front looks lifted straight from a C4, and while the raised stance, more rakish silhouette and very attractive wheels to raise the profile, it's still an odd niche. A slightly confused product then, with easily the least impressive interior of the three DS's we've seen.

On the subject of interiors, I quizzed Mr Cowell about the DS5's striking cockpit similarities to the Audi R8. Granted, the Teutonic sports car doesn't feature tan leather 'watch strap' seats, or roof mounted 'shark's teeth' switches for an aviation theme, but the driver orientated sweep dash, heavily binnacled instruments, raised centre console and gear lever, and flat-bottomed steering wheel all scream R8 to me.

Mr Cowell outright denied any Germanic influences, and said that while Citroen was aspiring to a premium marketplace, the DS5's cabin is all Citroen design language. I remain unconvinced. Having said that, it is a remarkable place to sit. Well made, with theatre and attention to detail, it's certainly one of the stand out interiors available at the £25k price point.

The evening was a credit to Citroen's UK PR arm. Well organised, full of friendly people, some rather delicious refreshments, and informal enough to be a comfortable and fun experience. I'm grateful to those responsible for my invite.

Final thoughts? The DS5 is wonderfully bold; they'll sell like the proverbial warm confectionery in France. Over here, the UK buyer has stayed away from large Citroens recently, but a premium DS spin-off could be the catalyst the DS5 requires to become a hit - it's certainly fashion conscious enough. If the innovative hybrid powertrain can grab Londoners wanting to sidestep congestion charge and look fabulous, that'll be half the battle won - some sensible diesel motors could make for an enticing prospect for fleet sales too. Mr Cowell himself stated: "this is a rep's market - and what rep wouldn't want to be seen in one of those?"

The DS4 is a perplexing conundrum. With Renault recently culling four under-performing models, including the rather fresh Wind roadster, it'll be interesting to see what befalls the DS4 (and C4, for that matter). 

Meanwhile, my favourite of the new DS's remains the DS3 - I'd love to run one for a day, a week, a year. I think it (still) looks cracking, and has the best supermini interior on sale. Any time you want a willing road test volunteer, Citroen UK, I'm in.

Oh, and the original DS? Probably the most beautiful automobile ever created. I've always been an advocate of the Ferrari 288 GTO as the finest looking thing on four wheels, but spending some time in the presence of a DS, even ignoring the engineering innovations it begat to the car world, shows how stunning an achievement it really was.

Check out the Car Throttle review of the evening by following this handy link to my colleague Adnan's article. His pictures are far less low-rent than mine.

Thanks to all at Citroen, especially Katie Read and Andy Cowell. A job very well done.

Dakar Rally 2012

The Dakar Rally no longer runs from Paris to Dakar, Senegal; in fact, it’s entirely swapped continents due to the instability of its homeland, but for me, the underpublicized endurance race remains one of the toughest tests of man and machine in modern motorsport. Traversing three countries, the route writhes through deserts and mountains as the riders and drivers battle from Mar del Plata in south-east Argentina, through Chile, finishing in the Peruvian capital, Lima.

France’s Stephane Peterhansel took the 2012 crown after the final stage on January 15^th, driving a heavily modified Mini Countryman. An impressive fourth car class win for the Frenchman gave him his tenth victory in the Dakar after six motorcycle titles in the Nineties. The two-wheeled honours this year went to Peterhansel’s countryman Red Bull's Cyril Despres on his KTM machine. Recognising his achievement, Depres admitted: “This is my fourth Dakar title and I’ve enjoyed every single one of them, but this one seems even more special than the rest. This race really came down to the wire and the result was not decided until the very last minute.”

Meanwhile, the mighty truck class, open to monsters weighing over 3,500kg, was comfortably won by Dutchman Gerrard De Rooy in his 900 horsepower Iveco.

2012’s Dakar was not without controversy - American driver Robby Gordon’s indignation at questions over his Hummer’s legality provoked this response: “I just proved that Minis are for girls, because we beat them by twenty minutes [on one stage]...”
Be sure to keep a close eye on Red Bull's official Dakar site for more Dakar 2012 reactions and exclusives. It reports on all the action on and off the road and you'll find exclusive videos, blogs and vidoes on this gruelling endurance event.
