  1. Nope! To me, the V-12 models embody what the brand is really about.
  2. I don't think it'll do any harm to drive exclusively in Corsa mode. Just make sure the car is warmed up before driving aggressively. Most of the time I'm driving in Sport Manual mode. I like the crisper down-shifts. When coming to a stop, leave your foot firmly on the brake pedal and the car will stay in first gear. Don't change to neutral. If it senses that you've decreased brake pressure it'll change to neutral on it's own. I hate when that happens without realizing it and then I try to accelerate and just get a lot of noise...
  3. I'll never buy another 'special edition' Lambo since I got shafted the last time with the Balboni!
  4. Unfortunately, my Balboni is actually one of the many E-Gear equipped cars. It's Nero Noctis. I've only seen two manual Balboni's in person: one white U.S. spec (when it belonged to Luxury4Play), and one orange E.U. spec (still belongs to Valentino Balboni himself). The Blu Caelum car was for sale not too long ago in New York. I wish mine was also a gated car!
  5. Thanks for compiling this information. It goes to show how rare a manual LP Gallardo is!
  6. One of my old Gallardo's was Rosso Vik and I loved the color combination - black top, black chrome Callisto wheels, black interior with Rosso Vik stitching, and Rosso Vik brake calipers! Like others have said, it's more of a Maroon. Although it gets extremely bright under direct lighting with the metallic flakes. If you are looking for a traditional red, like Ferrari's Rosso Corsa, then try looking at Rosso Mars.
  7. That's what I thought. Though I wouldn't be too surprised if they exceeded the limit. I learned my lesson not to believe everything Lamborghini says after they announced the LP550-2 would be a standard production car, making my Balboni seem like a gimmick.
  8. I like the idea of a RWD Huracan, but I don't like the changes they made to the exterior. The front looks too much like the Gallardo LP's.
  9. Looks like Crystal Cove - Mastro's?
  10. Beautiful color. I fell in love with Blu Caelum when I first saw it on a Balboni. Congrats!
  11. You misunderstood my post. I'm saying the Huracan was faster from the launch. Not jumping ahead as in cheating...
  12. Not surprised the Huracan jumped ahead at the launch. The Aventador seems sluggish to me in the low gears & engine RPM's as compared to the Huracan coupe I sampled. However I imagined the Aventador would have started to pull on the Huracan at the higher speeds...
  13. I have this piece and it looks amazing in person. It should be available to order on all new cars from the factory.
  14. My '15 Roadster has the button (I believe it's standard on all new '15+ cars). Now there is a nice looking mesh grille cover under the rear spoiler, so that when it is raised nothing is exposed below.
