Lamborghini Bosses Want Less Audi in their Cars

Having received hefty criticism about the fact that the Gallardo supercar shares one too many parts with the much cheaper Audi R8, Lamborghini execs are determined to lower the use of common parts to no more than 20% between the two marques in the next generation models.

“We have an internal rule that in future common parts will never exceed 20 per cent. In the future, we will always work together just on the hidden parts — parts that will not touch the DNA of Lamborghini. That could include things like the electrical platforms that need high investment, or hoses and filters, but we have to safeguard against too much of it,” said Lamborghini’s CEO, Stephen Winkelmann.
