    Look familiar?

    Not really a useful topic, but the new Lamborghini LP560 has the same Nav system/unit as our cars. I don't follow Lambo's all that much, but I do know they are owned by VW. Have they used universal parts?



    Image is from Top Gear's website. That car looks amazing.

    I love the RSN-E, it fits the Lambo interior very well.

    BTW the LP560 is one of the best looking Lambos I've seen yet.

    i'm sure they use universal parts, helps keep costs to a minimum.

    I am the parts manager at a Lambo/Bentley/Bugatti dealer.

    We buy parts from Audi often. Most of the time, not hard core parts, but simple hardware/fixings.

    The unit is a specific Lamborghini unit though it does look like Audi, its not a shared part number (ECU configuration).

    They've had audi parts in a bunch of lambos. Like it was said, it keeps costs down.

    Yeah, I just don't follow Lambo's that much. Not saying it's bad, I think it looks great.

    Probably the new A8 as well I'd imagine.
