Congrats Rocta!! Can’t wait to see it in person!
Who does your PPF (feel free to PM or text if you prefer).
Tried to send you DM--didn't work.
I use Blackout Tinting. Great news, coming shortly so you wont have to go to Greensburg.

Seeing some of the pics reminded me, If you haven’t already make sure you remove the sticky paper covers from the floor mats, I didn’t for a weeks use and it was an absolute pig to get the sticky glue they were attached with off them after.
oh damn. I kept it on because I wanted to get them ceramic coated--its been 5 days but not it scheduled for transport so maybe it will be ok without much more wear.

Congrats Doc, looks amazing. Did you pass up the 63 for the Xago?
I didn't get an option on the 63 at the time.

Yes, I am going to do that. I spoke to Lambo about ceramics for fabrics that they have now and if it would be safe. I heard yes, so that is next when it gets home. What color is yours?

It a bit weird that the last post on this thread was October 2020 but today we finally have an SVJ. This is not Project Khaos (more on that later) but in many ways, after waiting 30 months, the SVJ Xago is honestly the right fit me. I am completely amazed by this paint work. The hex pattern is a super hologram but not the cheap stuff you might see on your corner body shop. It plays tricks on your eyes and project even on to panels that are not painted. It really doesn't come across in videos well but at any rate, here is my first video. I will try to capture the paint in another video and give you my honest review on the car. So far, very happy with it and the team at Lamborghini Broward & Blackout Tinting who used XPEL to get me on the road right away by protecting this paint job.

Well, after 30 months of waiting on my Ad Personam SVJ, the Xago Edition is finally here. Recall, I was creating Project Khaos (which I will reveal someday) but when the opportunity to secure one of these, it was more of a no-brainer. This is more than what it might appear. The paint work is impressive. The hex effect is dynamic--and pretty difficult to capture in photos and videos. There are 5 coming to North America. Orange to Vancouver, Rosso Mars to DC/VA, Viola Parsifae somewhere in US.
Here are some night shots. Video share coming shortly. Photocredit to @aalotmotive https://www.instagram.com/aaltomotive/

Have you tried a Barrett-Jackson affiliated insurer?

My recollection is the seats in the SL are lower. I even recall a few people doing things like remounting to try to get a few extra inches (more like centimeters) with mixed success. Just don't what Shaq did (cut the frame to fit).
-
Interesting. Landed in Monaco. Another one was in Birmingham, UK. Blue in Geneva. Interesting to see the other locations.

Urus values are INSANE if you believe this video. I still believe that the Urus has the DNA of Lambo although, I like many, were skeptical of Lambo building an SUV. That said, they (Audi/VAG) have given Lambo a winner to keep the company healthy for years to come
If you are data driven, you have to be impressed with the value of this market defining SuperSUVs, at least compared to their counterparts, even in VAG. Time will tell if they will hold up, esp. since they have produced so many but at the least early signs are owners are not taking a bath like the Bentayga, or Cayenne Turbo S.
What do you guys think? BTW, I think his videos are some of the best and most objective views of the market--fair and balanced and he will tell you when there are issues with the data.

Yep i have it on my SVJ, option code below
I thought there was only rear sensors and camera. I don't think I have seen that on US spec cars. I now have to investigate since I would have optioned it on my SVJ.
-
Anyone know how many of the 10 have been produced & delivered? Alexandre's was the launch car (Blue Eliadi) & this is Viola Parsifae (just stunning).

Honestly none of these are going to appreciate - there were just too many made and not different enough even in the limited variations to matter. The perfect example of this is one of the rarest versions of the Aventador (and arguably one of the most beautiful) - the 50th. So few cars ended up here in the US but the prices on them are around 60% of what they were new. There was one at Mecum with only 100 miles that still saw that discount just a few months ago. That said - the rarer cars ARE buys now that they have pretty much hit a floor in terms of depreciation - I think you can buy and drive them with very little more to lose as the cars below it insulate the price.
There are a few potentially cool final editions coming out before the V12 replacement. Will be really interesting to see how far they go in utilizing this platform with so many people anxious for the next one.
But don't you think it is too soon to make the call. I recall all the anniversary cars depreciating like most cars do, then in time they do their thing. The 50th is 6 years old. I don't know of any Lambo that make a turnaround in value in that short a period of time. The story on the 50th has not been written. As an owner, I am not looking at that--I bought the car to enjoy it (hell, I have done rallies in it) and I agree, it is still one of the most beautiful of the bunch. Bottom line, buy it enjoy it. Don't count on appreciation for any of these cars.

That is the Xago Viola Parsifae. Only purple in the group. That is stunning--need to get my Huracan Performante next to that car!
-
NOW, that is SINISTER!

This is just astonishing in the presence of a pandemic. Kudos to the team at HQ.

I dont see any of these cars appreciating . Buy what you like.
This is the guiding light. Buy it. Enjoy it. Anyone who buys cars for investment, unless you are dealing with some halo cars (and even then, that strategy can be fraught with risk--just look at the P1) is chasing Fool's gold. Don't do it. If you can't handle depreciation, don't get in the water. Stay on the shores.

Both wings were fixed on the superleggera--I am pretty sure about this. On the standard Gallardo, that small wing was moveable.
-
Lots to speculate. If you are going to be analytical, look at this guy's videos. I can say a few things based on historical controls. You #3 is not likely to happen. I just don't see an LP 700 or LP740 for that matter appreciating in 3 years. I expect the Aventador will approach the bottom of its depreciation curve but they have build so many more than the Murcielago, who knows where they will end up. As for SV, the roadsters seems to be holding their own much better than the coupe. Special editions were removed from the graph to help clean up the analysis.
Take the emotion out of it for now and look at this.
-
I don't know the car but it looks pretty good. Price is in the range. Any idea which exhaust that is?

while I applaud their work, the proportions are all wrong.
I totally agree. I am yet to see a good replica that has fidelity to size and other elements of a Lambo, so I guess am was impressed with the dedication to get there.

LamboCars is correct, first customer car. I believe it's Alexandre Mourreau's car.
I know Alex. He also have the Matte black SVJ63. I need to see if he is keeping both cars--I suspect he might. LOL

We have all seen those Lambo replicas that should be burned to the ground. This one, no so much. I love Davide's content--always tells a great story, no gimmicks and truly cinematic. I am surprised about how good this looks--lots of wood though, but then again, some are like original Lambo design. Wish they had found a salvage V12 motor than turbo V6 but still, impressive.
thoughts on this video?

That is awesome Congrats! I hope I get my SVJ before all these STO's show up. It has been a long journey with so many twists, including a big one recently but I am happy and still on-board. Project Khaos lives.
