i do not think the v10 is delayed. it has always been expected in the summer of 2008 CY and it will show then, probably at the next paris show or geneva of 2008....
also. i would be surprised if it made any more than 500 hp (officially, since most have agreed the V8 makes between 420 and 440). the gallardo's V10 cannot be manipulated much more than it already has. at 550 i think it is capped out. and so an audi V10, while capable of much more (perhaps) will only be allowed to produce an amount that is far away enough from the lambo's to help justify the lambo's, dare i say, existence?
the gallardo will probably be updated without a price increase too. it now essentially is a bit slower than the F430 while costing a bit more, if i am not mistaken, here in the USA.
the future of lambo is uncertain. audi has already stopped pumping money into r and d at lambo and now the r and d depends only on their own (lambo's) profits........
heck. audi's ownership itself is uncertain!
