  1. finally privately previewed the car in Silver Grey. Not my fav colour. Interior superb and solid and it sounds gorgeous. Have decided against all options especially glass bonnet. With a black engine and a forged CF bay that looks like 3 year old kids' plastic, I will pass on that. It doesn't even look special to me as it is just one big black chunk. Otherwise, car is good. Launch trailer in Orange so I will get it in Orange most likely, if not, yellow.
  2. I did expected more... but that' just me. The press will test Huracan head to head and it is an inevitable fact. While many say it doesn't matter as we won't drive that fast, the facts will unfold itself and they will all see if all the technology and jargons will walk the walk and talk the talk. It does matter to the brand and marketing. Like Aston, many can say the recent PEDALs issue doesn't matter and the speed doesn't matter, it's all about the look but at the end of the day, it is quite personal though. Guess not many care is the truth. Drive the Badge and look.
  3. 458 Speciale 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) 3,0 sec 0-200 km/h (0-124 mph) 9,1 sec MP4 0 - 100 kph, 3.0 s. 0 - 180 kph, 7.4 s. 0 - 200 kph, 8.8 s Huracan 0-100 3.2 0-200 9.9 Quoting http://fastestlaps.com/articles/lamborghin...e_on_paper.html It is not very impressive for a modern supercar given that it's 2014/15 brand new... I still don't get MP4's figure... it is just a UFO... Lamborghini press release states 3.2 second 0-100 and 9.9 0-200 kph times. The former is rather less impressive, but the latter actually does reflect the great power to weight ratio that this car possesses. For comparison, latest generation Nissan GT-R does 200 in 10.6. What I expected most from the new "compact Lambo" was world beating track performance. Huracan has the same recipe of a Nissan GT-R, plus a much bigger budget for the actual ingredients. So I can't help but wonder, why would it not be decisively faster than the GT-R in every possible track test? First test drives are scheduled for January and in a coupe of months we will find out if the Huracan is indeed a new benchmark in street car track performance, or it is just another "luxury sports car" with no real excuse for being slower than a Nissan GT-R.
  4. Beantown, that's where I grew up! amazing! The days when Newbury and BU had all the hot cars... still the scene? and outside Sonsie?
  5. anyone has a picture of glass bonnet w forged carbon versus std? The std looks mean and the business. Is it plastic? Like back to back comparison?
  6. Yes I am also thinking of moving my Huracan order to an Aventador. However, the Aventador's tech is a lot less advanced compared to the Huracan. We all know the Huracan is a much more driver friendly, track oriented weapon and a lot better in handling but the Aventador is such a brute that it is pretty much a piece of art... Really crazy... Imagine if they put the LDF on the Aventador... that would be totally a buy but that would have to come in the next iteration... the 800 bhp 900 bhp LDP SV Aventador gen 2... :-) I am a buyer but it will cost me a million USD.
  7. glad u have no vices. Me neither. Re: Aventador, nothing beats the grand daddy of V12 flagship. The Huracan is good but it will not kill the A. It doesn't have nearly the Panache of the Grand Daddy. It will murder the 458 on the ring and MP4 on looks. Wait to see how it rings up on numbers. I am set on YELLOW. Not a fan of Lime Green.
  8. Fortis, here's one for you. Really? http://www.motoring.com.au/news/lamborghin...rice-drop-41372
  9. 8 hours of sleep improves immune system. Don't let it run down before it's too late. Eat a balanced, adequate, moderate and varied diet with minimal junk and processed foods. Nothing beats a well maintained body (like a well maintained car) by using NO POTION NO SECRET methodology of eating well, resting well, lots of water and moderate exercise. You put in the best fuel in your Lambo, you don't have to trade it in so soon. So call me a grand daddy but your body, your choice, wanna trade it in early? Be my guest :-)
  10. split on arancio borealis, giallo midas and rosso mars... to save bucks, go rosso mars :-)
  11. To Rosso Mars and Fortis. http://www.gtspirit.com/2014/01/31/lamborg...k-adv-1-wheels/ amazing.
  12. Actually, Fortis, NOT OK. Sleep before 11 pm and get 7 - 8 hrs preferably 8. Don't run down the immune system. I wouldn't. Life is about balanced. Not just cars... I work out and have many other things in life.
  13. agree... chk this out meanwhile. http://www.arabianbusiness.com/lamborghini...ent-531137.html New teams have until January 3 to register their interest, but Stephan Winkelmann, president of Lamborghini, officially ruled the Italian sports carmaker out of the running. “There are no plans to go into Formula 1 business. For us, it is more seen as an activity linking us more to our customer... We do gentlemen’s drivers clubs around the world and they are pretty successful and that is the way to go. The cars you see on the road are much the same as the ones we put on the racetrack,” he said in an interview with Arabian Business in Dubai. So Ferrari put cars on road that are much different than the ones it puts on track? you bet!
  14. Arancio Borealis is SEXY and sex on wheels colour. Now I am split between Giallo Midas and Arancio Borealis. My challenge, I know I like the Arancio Borealis but I don't know for how long and I really think it is exotic but the colour reminded me a bit of the McLaren metallic orange. I also find that the Orange is more a launch colour for Aventador... so I am split. Comments?
  15. Did you order one? Despite having a ISR, nothing beats the grand daddy of V12.
