But wait a minute, what’s the difference between this image and the previous one revealed by Lamborghini earlier this morning? Well, aside from the erased background, as our Italian friends over at Autoblog.it pointed out, Lamborghini also removed the Pirelli P-Zero’s dimensions in the new photo. Even though Lamborghini replaced the original picture on their website with a new one, we still have the original photo.

Turn your head around and you’ll see that the front tire’s size is 295/30 ZR19, which is pretty big if you consider that the Gallardo LP560-4 and Murcielago LP560 are equipped with 235/35 ZR19 and 245/35 ZR18 sized tires up front respectively. Our Italian friends are guessing that this is because the Paris Show car will feature a front-mounted engine. -Continued

Now why would Lamborghini get into all that trouble replacing the original photo and together make us write a whole post about the… tire’s dimensions is something beyond us.

    Maybe it was just the direction of the Italian flag?

    The original seems to be an unfinished rendering.

    My guess is someone at Lambo jumped the gun and uploaded the wrong image.

    The tyre is most likely a stock image pulled off the web or their image archive. I doubt the tyre size is relevant.

    Flag and wheelnuts look different.

    How about a Lamborghini Espada? Look at this: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/GeneralFuture/articleId=109926

    Flag on the replaced pic is back to front. First pic not only had it the correct way but it looked authentic as well, on the second it looks like a photoshop job... and not a great one.

    295 on the front? maybe we're looking at the rear... =)
