Funny, my mind still asks that when I see the original too, despite knowing it's mid-engined. It's that dang long hood on the original.

Mid-engined.

However this wording in this other article is funny and coy about it.

If the engine is to be mid-mounted, a version of the Murciélago's V12 would be used
IF?

It's not yet known what engine will be fitted under the bonnet,..............Lamborghini's retro star is likely to be based on the same underpinnings as the future Audi R8, itself adapted from Lambo's Gallardo.....................
It's not yet known what engine will be fitted under the bonnet, but it is sure to pack a huge punch............Lambo is likely to feed power to all four wheels.
Looking at the lines of the bonnet (in the rear) and that the original was mid-engined, I'd expect to see mid-engined production. However that "if " is mighty strange wording indeed.
