  2. Huracán Performante Rendering

    in Archived Content

    Posted

    I did a rendering when the first Huracan spyshots came out (back when we all called it the Cabrera), it gave me a better appreciation for the design language, and I was surprised at how much it was passed around. So I figured I would do another render, this time with the Huracan Performante test mule. I used a spyshot from autoevolution taken during winter testing, and I worked directly over the picture and tried to interpret as best I could what could be under the camo.

    The rumors I've garnered so far are that this car will be the LP650-4 Performante. The name will be "Performante" instead of "Superleggera" due to a lawsuit taken up by "Touring Superleggera" alleging that use of the Superleggera moniker belongs to them. Top speed is rumored to be 210mph, and performance/handling will be improved through use of active aero flaps in the front end that will be used for "aero vectoring." And of course as we all know the car will save weight over the base Huracan through the extensive use of alcantara and forged carbon (CFRP).

  3. Top Gear - Season 21

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    I love Top Gear, I love the exotics/hypercars, road-trips, and races - but I do miss "good ol' Top Gear" where they tested cars that I can actually afford. Now the show is either ultra-high end exotics/hypercars, or cheap hot hatches. They haven't said a world about the middle-class segment, and there SO MANY good combos to test. The all new BMW 3-series/4-series, Audi A4/A5, Merc CLA/C-Class, Lexus IS/GS, Cadillac ATS/XTS. M5/M6, RS6/RS7, E-Class. 7-Series, S8, S-Class, Quattroporte. I've seen other peoples' reviews of the new Stingray, new Mustang, new M235i, new Impreza WRX, but not a peep from Top Gear. And they've been doing this for a while now, no test of the Tesla Model S????? I remember when I was interested in a car I would google the top gear review of it, and it would be right there, now - nothing. I know they're old and not in the best condition, and it wouldn't make for the most interesting TV (at least not for "car-guys"), but c'mon...

  5. Do you have any Dental Health related Questions?

    Alright I'll give this a go...

     

    I'm 22, have always brushed/flossed, the works. I went in for a cleaning last time and to my dismay found out I have "root resorption" or "tooth resorption." I believe it was tooth #14 that had low density in the last x-ray towards the center of the tooth. They took another x-ray and found the low density has grown in size and punctured a small hole in tooth wall between #14 and #13. The dentist told me that my body is basically attacking my tooth and absorbing it back into my body, and that normally this kind of thing doesn't happen to people my age - usually it's retirees (FML). He told me that I should immediately remove the tooth, a piece of my jaw bone, and all of the gum around the tooth (for f@*k's sake) to combat the resorption - or I can risk it and leave it as is until my root starts hurting (there are different rates of absorption so it may not happen for a long time - but the hole doesn't help). I decided that sawing my mouth to pieces was a bad idea at my age, so I decided to sit on it and wait. Its been almost a year since then, the tooth doesn't hurt, I've been paying special attention to it, even using a fluoride/mineral paste to try and build back some density (if that's possible). Needless to say I have another cleaning in 3 weeks and I'm scared shitless to hear whats going on with the tooth. Should I leave it for now? Or mutilate myself?

  8. How Much You think Huracan Will Cost?

    a $200k audi R8? good lord... the R8's are great cars for about $110-140k... but there's SO much more options that open up at the $200k range.

     

    It really is not that big a jump after the R8 V10 Plus - Starting price $170,545...

     

    http://www.audiusa.com/models/audi-r8/configurator

     

    Audi will try to stratify the market, keeping the R8 on bottom, the Huracan at a premium above it. R8 ~200K base, 250K loaded. Huracan I can see at 260K base, 300K loaded.

    I probably shouldn't have posted anything on their FB, got kinda excited..

     

    The 24th seemed to be the date the episode should be shown because there was a week in between each episode. But I have heard a lot of rumors about a December 20th press release, so its possible that it was supposed to air today anyway (which would explain a leak a day beforehand). 8.5 hours because each episode was put online at about 10:30AM US EST time, now making it t-minus 8hrs.

    There are still a lot of cool things about the Huracan that haven't been announced or shown yet.

     

    How much more can there be?

     

    >12.3" TFT display instrument panel delivers all car information to the driver, from rev counter to navigation maps and infotainment functions, and can be configured by the driver in different setups

     

    >Headlamps - full led illumination

     

    >Carbon Ceramic brakes standard

     

    >Stop & start technology, the combined eu consumption figure has been further reduced to 12.5 liters per 100 km (290 g/km co2 emissions). The engine complies with eu6 emissions regulation. (~18.8 miles per gallon)

     

    >New 7-speed dual clutch transmission ‘‘lamborghini doppia frizione’’ (ldf) and fully electronically controlled four-wheel drive system.

    Also what the hell does the red button on steering wheel do? I must know!

     

    "Different driving modes of the Huracán can be selected via a driving dynamics selector switch in the steering wheel from traction-oriented on the road, to extreme performance on the race track, with three setups of the dynamics system: Strada, sport and corsa"

     

    So say goodbye to the three button selector on the center console, now it's a red rocker switch on the steering wheel.

    I know, I hope that's not the release color.

     

    It looks to be Azzuro Thetis to me - an Aventador color :icon_mrgreen:

     

     

    So the yellow car must have been a render? Or the slats are an added option...

     

    It was probably a concept rendering that Lamborghini distributed to newspapers. The slats might be an option/standard - like how to Aventador has carbon slats standard and glass option.

     

     

    Episode 4 of Hexagon Project will be the three musketeers finding a computer in the Lambo factory, hopping on LamboPower and browsing the forum :bj:

     

    LOL! :lol2:

    official pictures probaby leaked from "La Stampa", an italian newspaper. No renders, 100% true, press pictures. Probably next week we will see an official picures release by the factory.

     

    I found the original front rendering from LaStampa, after doing a little digging on these images I found out that after we got that image LaStampa dumped the other 3 images which were later recovered (hackers?). Original source of the images is confirmed as: http://www.lastampa.it/2013/12/16/multimed...7wI/pagina.html

     

    It's still possible LaStampa hired a 3D Rendering professional to have his take on the car, and is using this "leak" as publicity for their website.
