LamboCARS Report post Posted January 19, 2017 There is a Grigio that is much "warmer", almost like having a champagne sheen to it (don't recall the name though). That might work. No need to be sorry on Verde; not exactly my favourite either but oh well... Isn't that the Grigio Admetus ... it's a warm grey with a tan hue ... something of a champagne tint Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert-LP Report post Posted January 19, 2017 670 HP looks to be too much: the dealer told me 640. He told me it will be an extreme car, built looking just to performances, but told 640. Or maybe he doesn't know exactly, who knows ciao Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to be sorry on Verde; not exactly my favourite either but oh well... No nightmare at all: get Blu Cepheus to make it a matching pair. Or ask the family to decide; they obviously did great on their last try. They certainly did I do like the matching pair idea.

APB Report post Posted January 19, 2017 The Motortrend article says that Lamborghini tried having aero vectoring on the front axle but it didn't have any advantage. Is that why some of the test cars had vents above and behind the front wheels and the production car doesn't? Yes to that, and 640 HP indeed. I personally liked the 2nd Prototype better looks-wise, but I can understand why they went for the first one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
derphurf Report post Posted January 19, 2017 Very cool aero, but not revolutionary. Blown/jet flaps have been used in aviation for decades. The electronic control to control left to right hasn't been done before, though. Taking a bit of inspiration from aeromotion and Pagani and utilizing it in a different application. If you read the clues, it was obvious the airflow had to go through the supports. This is a slightly different application (different exit location for the blowing), but related https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/formula-1-f-...nge-willem-toet This shit is very trick and very cool. I've wondered for years why nobody else has done it. It will be a game changer, much like how it was in F1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have red in the Automobilemag article there would be a 10% power increase, so from 610hp it goes to 670hp ... but I also think will only be 640 hp in the end. Those air vents on the front fender and in front of the rear wheel would have looked amazing on the Performante ... sadly they won't be there in the actual production car if I understand correctly.

If enough of us demand it they may make it an option. It is a shame they didn't add it. They know it doesn't make a difference in performance but it improves the looks dramatically.

emanon Report post Posted January 20, 2017 Anyone consider Grigio Estoque with Verde calipers? Should look fierce without being overdone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCR Report post Posted January 20, 2017 Anyone consider Grigio Estoque with Verde calipers? Should look fierce without being overdone. Agreed. Basically what I said on post#567. G. Estoque is gloss and G. Adamas is matte and a bit lighter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortis Report post Posted January 20, 2017 I kept it quiet, once you pointed that out. I know, I rather not know things, I am terrible at keeping secrets I was trying to give everyone a hint to start some speculation going I guess if people guess or assume it's not like a spilled the beans but nobody caught on so I just let it go.

Fortis Report post Posted January 20, 2017 Anyone consider Grigio Estoque with Verde calipers? Should look fierce without being overdone. I was considering it I think it would look stunning. The other combo I am toying with is white with black roof with lots of carbon and all the bronze accents the car comes with should make for a great combo or the other option is to build the twin of my SV. I hate the pick a color game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCR Report post Posted January 21, 2017 How about Oro Adonis (that should go well with the bronze accents). Black calipers, Arancio stitching and accents for the interior. I think the particle-board-look-alike carbon composites also comes in a lighter beige-ish colour so that might actually blend well with Oro Adonis/Arancio. Beige interior would work too although that may be too tame. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCR Report post Posted January 21, 2017 maybe LamboCars can work his magic on this combo It's going to be tricky since Oro Adonis reflects differently under various lighting and angles. But LamboCars' wizardry will provide a relatively close reference for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But LamboCars' wizardry will provide a relatively close reference for sure. I tried ... but Oro Elios is a very special shade, looks different under artificial light compared to sunlight ... Sadly I removed the air intake in front of the rear wheel and the vents on the front fender ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LamboCARS Report post Posted January 23, 2017 I would prefer a high gloss finished clear carbon fiber on the aero parts over a Bianco Canopus exterior, red calipers and black wheels ... inside black carbon fiber sport seats with white stitching and carbon fiber details ... I'm not a fan of the Forged Composite look, sorry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
