Really excited! Got to test drive a demo on Friday and was VERY impressed! I currently drive a 2014 Stronic V10 R8. I can definitely feel more power and rawness than the R8 but still feels familiar with the R8 V10 and quickness of the transmission. The exhaust and cabin sound adds to the excitement that I normally don’t get. The backfire burble when you release the gas pedal is intoxicating. I think I’m going to look forward to stop and go traffic lights now. The stock exhaust was plenty loud for me and with paddle shifting you will get noticed on Sport/Corsa mode. Opening the windows does make it even more enjoyable to listen to. But I can see those who want to maximize the viceral feel would opt for the upgraded exhaust. I was surprised how smooth the ride was in Strada mode with the magnetic suspension and almost as good as the R8 ride. However, switching to Sport mode definitely turned it into a different animal and will probably drive in this mode most often as it makes the car a special event. I can see myself driving this car for hours at a time without issues or fatigue. Front visibility is good with a feeling of safety compared to 458 or Maclaren where I felt really low and had to be on high alert all the time driving them. The Huracan is one of the easiest exotics I can get in and out of. Rear hatch visibility isn’t as good as the R8 but I’m ok with it. Also, I knew the car did not have any cupholders so I brought a Guzzie Gus cupholder from Amazon and it straps perfectly around the lower bar, near the passenger’s left foot, underneath the center console. While driving, I can reach around the center console to pull/place my drink. The car did not have bluetooth music streaming but there is a 3rd party adapter that works for the Aventador that should solve that issue. You can still plug in your phone inside the center arm rest compartment. Sound system was decent but not as impressive as the Bang & Olufsen in my R8. Seats were comfortable and really hug you in on turns. The LCD screen is bright, clear and fantastic. I really like the interior design with the switches and red start button. Once you press it, just tap on the paddle and you can start moving once you press the gas pedal. The car always starts in Auto mode and you can use the paddles anytime except it will default to Auto after a moment unless you press the manual button to specify paddles only.
I’m really looking forward to joining the Lambo experience.
