    Out of the three, from what I hear, the 599 is the only one that doesn't feel nose heavy. I think LP690-4 would be faster around the track if the engine sat further back and the weight was evenly distributed.

    You keep talking about it like it is real. It isn't.

    And no. The DBR9 is not nose heavy. The V12 Vantage has a slight problem with that because the car is soo small but they fixed it through two years of chassis work.

    No, I don't. If they do in fact build a car similar to this, and the weight is evenly distributed, It will be quick around the track. I would assume Lamborghini would be smart enough to sit the engine further back and as low as possible, at least.

    Most modern front engined super cars are still mid mounted and use aluminum blocks.

    I'll add the twin Cerbera I6s to Nerds' list.
