Is This Lamborghini looking better than Gallardo?

Lamborghini Insecta is a concept car created in 2009, featuring the same V10 engine as the Gallardo model. Iulian Bumbu, a Romania designer, is the one who can brag for creating this concept.
The name of the car is inspired by the bugs' world. This refers to some features of the car, including the blinded casings working as a shield for the bugs.
Nevertheless, you will notice the most obvious influence in the upper and rear parts of the car. The insect theme has been successfully transposed into the car's design, making it look fresh and innovative. However, the designer did integrate the classical Lamborghini sharp lines, so that there would be no confusion whatsoever regarding the brand. The scissors-opening doors, also a classical for Lamborghini, have also been preserved.
Gallardo and Insecta are very much alike when it comes to their sizes. For example, the length of 4300 mm is common for both models. Nevertheless, Insecta is smaller and wider than Gallardo.
Another common thing for these two cars is the drive train, consisting of a V10 engine, with a capacity of 5 liters. The engine is covered by a glass hood, offering an elegant perspective.
The chassis is made out of carbon fiber, some details of it being left unpainted especially in order to offer a nice contrast with the painted areas.
The Lamborghini Insecta cabin fits two comfortable seats, with a U shaped steering wheel and a center console.
