  1. Interesting, so basically the launch color or another color?
  2. Orange one looks the best. Livery is "glow in the dark" right?
  3. Looks a lot better in the real world than in the renders.
  4. I thought the SVR is going to be produced by Squadra Corse and not the main factory?
  5. Personally I think this car is pretty cool, especially the side and rear. It even has a "periscope". I think it is easy to look at this and laugh it off as a "reskinned Aventador with 810 hp", but the reality is that it has revolutionary battery technology. Tell me of another production car that uses supercapacitators instead of traditional batteries, I will wait. If 1 supercapacitator is producing 30+ hp imagine having 6 or 8 in a car on top of the near 800hp V12. Once they get this tech going in full force, Lambo will be unstoppable, hell they might even sell it to others car brands.
  6. I doubt VW Group is still debating if Lamborghini's V12 should stay. V12 with a hybrid assistance for the Aventador replacement has been decided for at least 5 years now. It's too late to cancel now. However Lamborghini will keep milking the Aventador until it sells less than 200 units a year. What comes after V12 with a hybrid will be very interesting, especially if they get better battery technology and make those supercapacitators work. The car that comes after Aventador's replacement will be definitely fully electric. As for Huracan, it will go hybrid first and only fully electric later (same as Aventador). But there are very interesting news regarding the next R8. It will be fully electric from the get-go, no hybrid for it. Audi wants Baby Lambo and R8 to be more separate despite that they will share the common structure that will be viable for an ICE engine + hybrid and a fully electric architecture.
  7. September 9th is the official unveil. Will be displayed at Frankfurt from 12th to 22nd of September.
  8. At least next month we get to see a car from Lamborghini that is actually new.
  9. I already like this livery more than the one on the coupe. It's a bit of an "eh" that the snorkel for the ALA system isn't in carbon fiber like on the coupe. Only the very rear seems to be in carbon fiber judging from that picture.
  10. 600LT isn't that much special than a 570S with a tune. It has three things that make it or break it. The exhaust placement (which has a huge risk for fire). The MSO roof scoop, which let's be honest makes the looks of the car and is a rare ridiculously expensive option. Same with those Senna seats. Driving wise you would get a similar experience with a 570S (which has some insane deals atm) with an aftermarket spoiler and exhaust. The only competitor to the 600LT I see is the Performante which in truth is the better car overall. It has a more advanced aero system, it handles better, it is faster, it sounds way better and looks in my opinion a lot better than the 600LT. The only thing that comes to mind that 600LT has over the Performante is practicality. These are my thoughts, from the short experience with both cars. And yes, beware of that McLaren depreciation.
  11. Congratulations! Correct it is happening despite not debuting at Geneva. That and LB48H in some way shape and form will be at Monterey (not publicly most likely). Full hybrid theme at Frankfurt though.
  12. Judging from the front bumper it looks like the LP580 refresh. Could be also a one-off.
  13. Checked her channel, she is still active and apparently getting a Roadster.
  14. First testdrive is up from TG. And I have to say I'm surprised by it. https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/lamborghini/2dr-auto/first-drive?fbclid=IwAR2SZYjp3ivF2VRZAprzFakgmKHrlJ8oIInNZHOY5hXJ8E0dAh0aOkfHTVc
  15. He probably drove one of the prototypes. Heard they have a prototype for a Spyder as well. Also didn't VW Group test out the grounds for this sort of car with this? Anyone know if this was ever produced?
  16. No wonder I never heard about it. Seems like it doesn't physically exist yet. (not saying they don't have prototypes for it. Lamborghini has many weird prototypes.)
  17. https://www.motoring.com.au/first-hybrid-lamborghini-just-months-away-117022/ Pretty sure there is nothing for tomorrow, unless there is something I don't know about?.
  18. Nice! Very informative video Brooks.
  19. Those are "Veneno wheels" minus the carbon surround. You can even see the bolts where the surrounding CF piece is usually fitted. A while ago a customer got them for his LP700:
