  16. from Vanquish to Huracan 610-4

    I've had 3 Aston Martins and I understand where you are coming from. I had a V8V Nurburgring Edition, Casino Royale DBS and lastly a V12 VS. Astons are like seductive mistresses - so damn sexy but have issues so tough to keep long term. I've always felt they were somewhat underpowered until I owned the V12 VS. This car got it right - excellent power to weight ratio, well balanced handling, supreme stopping power. It really is a well designed package.

    The two things I can't stand about Aston: massive depreciation and the little quirky annoying things that go wrong - had a stuck fuel cap on multiple cars, the dreaded Emissions warning signal, etc. These are just not acceptable for a $200k+ car. So I always ended up getting rid of the Astons and losing $.

    Funny I still kinda lust for one - they are so damn sexy and elegant. Like that old psycho GF you wanna bang again.

     

    I have a Huracan Performante on order but haven't driven a Huracan regularly. I do know a Huracan will be a Hell-of-a-Lot faster than the Vanquish. It will be a tighter cockpit. Less practical storage space. Wayyyy more attention. Better build quality.

    You will miss the smell of the Aston leather, the pristine 7 layer paint of the Aston and the sense of being James Bond.

     

    Wow - thanks for your comprehensive reply - that is pretty much spot on how I feel - I want to love the Aston but you feel like it is cheating on you. I am worried that the Huracan will be too "loud" not only sound wise but attention wise too. To make matters worse the one I am looking at is yellow with black rims.

     

    I guess "You only live twice" and if you go Lamborghini there is not much point trying to making it discrete by selecting a Bon color.

     

    Will make up my mind this coming days - toughest car changing decision I have faced.

    Hello everyone,

     

    Considering swapping my 2016 Aston Martin Vanquish for a new Huracan 610-4. I love the idea of the Aston Martin but there are so many small annoying issues all the time with general build quality, maybe I am just too picky with squeaky sounds and small details.

     

    Any thoughts on Huracan from the perspective of build quality, reliability and general enjoyment with these cars? I have never owned a Lambo before - only 2 short test drives in a Huracan and my first impression was very good although I was not able to push it a lot as it is brand new.

  18. Performante Appreciation Curve

    Seems like there will not be a Huracan Superleggera or is that naive?

     

    As the name suggests, the Performante is a higher performance version of the standard Huracan and a successor to the Gallardo Superleggera. Although it was originally believed that the Huracan will also get a Superleggera badge, Lambo eventually decided to replace it with Performante. The name swap is rather surprising given that the high-performance Aventador retained the SuperVeloce name from its predecessor, but I agree that Performante is as fitting as Superleggera for a range-topping sports car.
