When did you go? Get any pictures? I love the media shots, but I'd rather see someone's personal photos. Gives a better authentic experience.
I agree but love what they have done with the Museo and the layout. Flushed with cash so AL is spending it.

I was talking to our mutuql friend Alex Aalto last night about you! You should bring the LP720! I am actually dying to see it
LOL... so you would vote the 50th and not the Xago? I was thinking about Xago since there are more 50th and I figured a more rare "one-of" that is the theme for the Giro.
-
I would be down for this esp. if it includes logistics of transport of vehicle there and back. Although from what I saw, 50th was amazing. Wish I could have been a part of it at the time. Too bad the new Aventador replacement would not be available to run on the 60th!

I can't speak for others but I was wow'd by the car when I saw it person. There's a lot of design cues and aero which are hidden under the camo on the test mules but overall the car looks aggressive and what a V12 Lambo should look like. The performance is also leaps ahead of the Aventador.
I am with you this. I really like the new car and the features. I was one of 100 at the Aventador replacement and I was wow'd at the time even when many early thought the Aventador was trash compared to the Murcie. Many of those came around to love the Aventador. I think the new car is at least as similar a leap or not more of the Murcie to Avy. Patience guys--we will see unveiling soon.

I'm still lurking here, but the old LPower is a thing of the past. The "other" Lambo forum is a lot more active, but it's nothing like old LPower.
I totally agree. I check in occasionally--hoping there will be stuff to read. I would check often but would have nothing "since last visit" so the longer I am away, the more I will have something to read.
So the big question: how or can we get back to the old days? is there a plan?

My Aventador faced the same issue. I fixed it.
how did you fix it?

Not sure what I feel about this. I am glad the brand is doing well but too many Lambo I think devalues the brand. I know Ferrari does not limit their production and certainly, many who are owners have learned the hard lesson from Mclaren who floods the market with every variant and then discounts their cars to get cars out the door (much to the detriment of their owners). All that said, here is a good read:

Impressive. I have other things that are like that--I guess I am going to have to try this. Those now look almost new!
-
More and more excited to see this thing naked. Pebble Beach?

Newsflash but no so unexpected I guess. Maurizio was a cool guy, very passionate and friendly to talk to. His enthusiasm was contagious whenever I spoke with him. I did not know he was being credited with much of the success of Squadra Corsa, but it am sure it make since as CTO, he has substantial input on the design and tech in those cars. I know nothing on Mohr. Anyone know him?
Here is the article.

This was very well done and had a ton of info I didn't know.
I agree---I learn something every time I watch on of these very well researched documentaries. They touched on how the Countach got its rear wing in a peripheral way but more so on the front wing. Definitely a good watch.
-
Interesting. This is the most outright they have been in recent years on what to expect in their upcoming models and which lines. I'm interested in seeing what they do with the Urus--we have all seen the STX concept. I am assuming this will be one of the "splits."
-
What a mess. Had dealer plates so maybe a test drive. Road looks wet so you can start piecing the narrative together. Definitely a shame but given its value, I am sure it will likely get rebuilt. What do you guys think? Totaled?
-
I had the same observations too--def looks longer but again, remember some of the old mules looked stretched compared to the production unit. The exhaust also look pretty high even when compared to SVJ.
-
Here is the video in question. Pretty interesting. Car sounds pretty mean too. That exhaust seems pretty high--I still see Aventador lines though--another variant?

well at least it looks like you might be able to see out of the back of the new one, single worst bit of an SVJ is that you can have a marked police car right behind you with lights and sirens on and its 50/50 if you would even catch a glimpse of it!
For a road car its just stupid and unnecessary
Is this from experience, TopJay?

Word is they shared images of the production ready car. I was told the the rear looks like the Sian, engine sits higher so it's more exposed and overall the design is a major departure from the current Aventador.
Interesting. Higher engine location seems odd unless it is to accommodate some hybrid drivetrain. Higher location might mean higher "center-of-gravity" which might not be good but I am sure the engineers have factored all that in--any word on when we will see this thing?

I agree with you. Same story with the STO, free paints on the EVO are $15k for the STO. It's getting ridiculous.
And rumour is they previewed the Aventador replacement at the dealer meeting yesterday. I'd be interesting to see if someone leaks the information.
They always leak. The question will be how accurate and if Lambo even shared the final (or near final) version of the V12 replacement.

Let's say they have around 1.000 V12s to build yet. That's about one year of production still left I think.
I agree with this--makes sense.
-
I am told you can't order a new Aventador. If that is the case, I would imagine that we might be seeing something soon. There are the 600 Ultimae they have to produce plus whatever cars they already had in the hopper as of last month. Is that enough for 2022? Does that mean, Any replacement is 2023?
-
Wow. that is awesome. Do they match your color combo or is this all standard color combo?

It's a lengthy one, but glad to see someone taking on the task! Thanks for sharing this one!
There are some cars I would have missed. I definitely learned about a few other too. Definitely worth a watch for Lambo enthusiasts--learning is always key.
-
I was skeptical when I clicked in this video but was surprised how comprehensive this was. Better yet, it’s great to see the passion thrive in a younger generation. Check it out and give the video a like. Definitely want to keep encouraging this YouTuber. Was there any car he missed?
If you know...
