Nice looking car! Kudos to the buyer on adding this beauty to their garage. Sold for a solid $1.9m, so seller should be happy as well.

Most fun I had there was renting a Lambo Huracan and hunting for Ferrari test drivers.
Well don’t leave us hanging on that juicy teaser… do tell!

@VCR Thank you, that’s very helpful information. I definitely can appreciate the convenience of the trains and a nearby hotel. My SA said they could arrange a factory visit to time with the car build, but good to know that some of the local logistics can be covered as well.
Plus, I didn’t realize Ducati and Pagani were in the vicinity as well.
@Allan-Herbie I’ll definitely look into the museum! Definitely seems like that’s a must see.

I’m going to be planning a trip out to Sant’#### to visit the factory next year.
I know quite a few members here have made the pilgrimage before me. Any insights or suggestions to make the most out of this experience?edit: for some reason the forum will not let me spell the full city name and automatically replaces it with hashtags. I’ve tried a few alternatives to get around this and this was best I could do.

I strongly considered it… Lotus are just so much pure FUN to drive. And this looks like they’ve really gone back to what makes Lotus stand out. But was told the wait was well over a year at this point.

What an amazing experience… and I chuckled when he just went straight for the pass after getting on the road.

I think 2023 is very likely. I have an Aventador Ultimae Roadster allocation… wasn’t expecting to see it start production until next year… and it’s already confirmed in production on Unica app, which is notoriously slow to update. This is way farther ahead than I expected! I hear it’s about 6 months from time it starts production. Knock on wood. I might get the summer driving season with it! Usually roadsters are last out the door… but pandemic has thrown all norms out the window.

Definitely worth watching. Thanks for sharing

weirdly I'm quite drawn to Mclaren currently but have never been a fan before but not sure i could live with it breaking all the time !
Breaking down is part of the Mclaren ownership experience. The British car club I was in had a traveling award for that…it was passed around A LOT.

@Lambocars
Dare I hope, do you have a config for the Ultimae yet?

I dropped off for awhile… was just inactive in the whole car scene for a bit due to pandemic interruptions. Ramping back up (slowly) now. And I had a similar concern as the OP. This forum has been a really great place for owners, lifestyle and car info. FB/IG and similar platforms are nightmares for finding info and more about the flex and followers.
I hope it or the other lambo forum gains steam again. With the number of cars changing hands this year and the hot market, I’d think these forums would be hopping. It can’t all be the instafamous crowdNot surprisingly the wine and whiskey forums have been busy since the pandemic

There was a member who said they have an allocation for an SVJR 63. Nothing in writing. Rumor has it that it will show up at Quail during Monterey car week.
-
That’s awesome. Congrats! You definitely should go to Monterey now!
-
My eyes!!!
I’ll never be able to unsee that.

Couldn’t help smiling at this one. Right on the mark!

Definitely a bit cheeky. But talk about playing your cards... if someone wants one, this is the only one to be had. That’s creative exclu$ivity.
Personally I think the coupe # to the US was lower than expected. And I know a few others dropped this, but I’m hearing it too... the SVJR allocation is significantly lower than the coupe.

Which one do you have now? Any more pictures of the Roadster?
Love the dog too!
The S Roadster in Rosso Efesto is the current ride. But just confirmed the SVJR, so now it’s a waiting game.
Here’s some other pics of the Nero Pegaso.

I’m behind on posting these. Here’s just the Aventadors from the past couple years
the little bull with the big bull

The S is great... RWS makes a big difference for city driving and parking. Unlike my previous Av I don’t feel like I’m docking a yacht when I go to park. It’s as nimble as my DD. Personally I like the look of the fangs and the ability to raise and lower the rear wing. It’s less Hotwheels factor, and more of a refined supercar.

Finished creating the Aventador SVJ Roadster version, front view, side view and rear view (which was the hardest to do) ... and I did some Ad Personam on it:
Programming to go online as we speak ...
Phenomenal!!! Outstanding work, I can only imagine the extra effort you have to put into this because you aren’t on the Lambo payroll and have to create this stuff from scratch.
-
So for those that go on Rally drives... what are the essentials to take? Not talking about packing for yourself personally. Wondering what gear has been a lifesaver, a backup plan or just makes the trip easier on those types of drives.

Gorgeous!!
If you are ready to move on.... well do it. Life is about opportunity and experience so seize it.
You have a gorgeous car, that’s manual... seriously there is just something emotional about a manual car that’s intrinsic to the driver experience and missing today. It’s not the fastest, but damn I miss it.
At the end of the day, you are either motivated to move on and take a profit or have a new experience. If it doesn’t check one of those boxes don’t do it.
I sold a car I loved... regretted it a few days later, drove back to dealer to buy it back and literally pulled in as someone else drove out with my car. I was beyond crushed. I’d still take that car back in a heartbeat. Damned if nothing like it has come up for sale in the years since. It’s not even an expensive car. But can’t say that I haven’t made the most of the cars and experiences that have come since. I’m still sentimental but I’m grudgingly acknowledging that I’m enjoying the separation. It’s not a hardship when it’s a Lamborghini.

A classic that never fails to make me giggle and have people stare oddly at me

Aventador start trouble

I had this same issue in a 2016. It was annoying at best and embarrassing at worst. Sporadic, but more likely to happen after it sat for 30+ minutes rather than a quick stop at a gas station. I’d dread if there was a crowd around waiting for me to start the car up. I put off taking it into the dealer for repair because it wasn’t consistently reproducible. An engine light finally came on and I had them address both issues. Was told a solenoid, sensor and software update… as I had a couple things going on for repair, I can’t recall if the fix specifically for the startup issue involved more than the solenoid.
Prior to repair, DoctaM3’s tip about holding the start button did actually work some of the time. I also found that a sequence of shutting off the car, locking door, wait 2 min and then going back through the motions of unlock and start had some success as well.
