11.09.2003 LAMBORGHINI'S AGRESSIVE AND PURPOSEFUL APPEARING MURCIELAGO SPORTSCAR IS DRAWING THE CROWDS IN FRANKFURT


The Lamborghini R-GT dominates the Italian sportscar builder's stand in Frankfurt this week. The first prototype being shown here is fitted with a huge rear wing and undertray, its aggressive look enhanced by a larger front spoiler and wider side skirts. The dark grey 'carbon-fibre' effect paint scheme along with the stands understated lighting set-up and the Mucielargo's built-in 'stealth bomber' appearance complete the look of a purposeful race car.

With the Reiter Engineering developed sportscar scheduled to hit the race tracks in Estoril in less than a month's time with Oliver Gavin and Peter Kox pencilled in to pilot the prototype in the Portugeese round of the FIA GT Championship as part of the R-GT's test programme, Lamborghini's eagerly awaited return to racing is well underway.
