Anything in Large?
Depends on what you mean by "Large" - European Large or US Large? Slim Fit or loose?
If you have ever bought anything form a european company you know what I am talking about...

SOLD:
Striped T-Shirt and back/Yellow sweatshirt...

Anyone call BS on +1000hp?

Nissan did the same with the GTR
True, Nissan made it "Difficult" but I think factories are starting to understand the need for aaftermarket support, that it moves cars, in the end.
In some occasions the factory actually helps owners get what they want...
With the LP-700 the exhaust valve that opens for a more "sporty" sound would NOT pass regulations in some countries... Lamborghini has bypassed this by coming up with an explanation for needing this by calling it an "exhaust cooling system" - claiming in some descriptions that the valves allow the exhaust to vent and not overheat.
In this case, they have gone above and beyond to provide owners the experience they are looking for.
Factories are not all bad.

Not sure how much you can respond on this but we have mentioned it a number of times that massive exhaust.
Why so big and bulky.
In a world whereby car packaging needs to be minimal, light, socially and Eco friendly why the bulky exhaust?
I see no other v12s with such a cumbersome component
Maybe we could get some questions together and a corporate tech might be able to provide a response in a formal q&a manner on this and other products lambo produce.
Understand what govt regulations worldwide a manufacturer is up against when building a vehicle.
For whatever reason, the exhaust used works for what they need it to, Almost all OEM exhausts are too restrictive, heavy, and meant to work across a variety of situations.
You have to have an exhaust that works across all RPM ranges. If you watch the torque curves on an aftermarket exhaust, the HP or or TQ figures are usually higher than OEM, but most will drop in certain areas on the curve.
Its a balance of compromise, and they have to do the best they can.

Since my email was blowing up with replies to this post, as well as PMs I felt I should join the ranks of Rob and Chop in being a grown up and acknowledge the good...
Thank you all for the apologies, it is understandable to jump first on these forums with the amount of BS that can be thrown about here on the forums...
I suppose I am partially to blame, as I forget that I am only seen by my past history here, and without disclosing who I am, it would be difficult to believe what is said.
Thank you also t those that took the time to check my references, and back me. I really appreciate it.
I will do my best to provide as much info as I am allowed, and try and dispel the rumors that fly around.
UGR has a monumental task ahead of them, but if ther eis anyone that can pull it off, it will be them.
I plan to support the team there as best I can, and look forward to seeing (and maybe playing with) the fruits of their labor.
thanks again to everyone here, I am very sorry to have caused the drama.

Previous cars were advanced when their turbo systems were first developed. Your point seems moot. Also if you are such an expert, why have you not shared your expert opinion over the last 5 years. Anyone can go on the internet and claim to be an expert. So, no, we have no idea who you are. How about being more positive like "that will be very tough to accomplish but I look forward to seeing what they can do". Your completely negative post benefits no one.
1. I am not at liberty to unveil my identity, I know that seems weak in the forum world, but there are reasons I have been sitting back seat on this forum for a few years. If any moderators would like to PM me, I can prove my identity to them, and have that person back me up on my "expertise" again, weak, but I am not getting myself in trouble over this forum. I'm actually a little sorry I even started this, I was warned about some of the people on here, and I should have listened.
2. I am NOT being negative, you guys are - towards me. Maybe you should be a little slower to jump down someone's throat. Ever stop and think that there is a reason REAL experts shy away form this forum, or manufacturers black flag it - simply because a few individuals are too quick to cause a ruckus just as this.
I've been told the same thing, and have also heard that just swapping out the exhaust with all of the sensors on it that communicate with the new engine management system will throw the car into limp mode.Correct. This car has back-pressure sensors in the exhaust, and change in variation will cause the car to go into protection.
Designing a "piggyback" for this with a turbo kit will be one of the more difficult parts of the build.
IIRC the exact same statements were made by NISSAN regarding the GTR, and look how long that lasted.As for the GTR - the VQ engine was NOT new, it had been used for years prior to the GTR, in different forms, yes, but stil lit was around. The electronics were also something Nissan had used prior.
The Gallardo used widely know VAG software, with a mix of LaRA & LDAS, again, not new to the Lambo brand.
Want to know some differences?
The Murci had 5 ECU's in her... The Gallardo 15.
The Aventador - more than 30 ecu.
That is a fact.
I am done here.
You guys have fun with this forum... Flame me all you want.
At the end of the day, you guys are missing out on healthy conversation, and a possibility of some new, fresh info.
See you guys in another 5 years.
-
Can you give us a little more insight as to where you think the bottleneck is?
Simply with the electronics.
the LP-700 uses a completely new Engine Management system, with lots of thought put into how to slow down or eliminate modifications.
Also, the new engine and transmission is completely untested from an aftermarket standpoint.
Boost it too much, you will grenade it.
No other car uses this transmission, so testing will not be the reckless type.

Guy talking out of his ass about shit he doesn't know is good at talking out of his ass about shit he doesn't know.
Wow, obviously a highly educated, and well rounded individual... Someone who really has no idea who I am, and would have to eat those words if he did.
What exactly do YOU know about it to make you an expert on what I know???
For those that know who I am, you now look like an idiot for saying what you did, as I know more about this car then just about anyone in this country. (not just saying that to say it it is a simple fact.)
And for the record, I am nto against what is going on at UGR, I SIMPLY said it would not be a quick, fast build.
Not going to start a flame war with a neanderthal... Not looking to cause issues here, I was just offering my opinion and expertise.
Obviously some of the people here can't seem to handle simple conversation.
Sad really.

Thank you debbie downer. For your 18th post in over 5 years please come up with something better thought out. I can't even think of a car that someone has tried to put turbos in and failed. Now it may not be cost feasible but it can always be done.
I never said "never" - I simply said not anytime soon.
I am a firm believer in "Anything is possible with enough time and money"
Knowing what I know about the car, I can say this task is not an easy one... But every lock has a key.
-
Don't worry it will take UGR a year to figure out how to build this out... The car will have all kinds of faults, and there is no room for turbos...
Don't get excited... Aventador turbo is a long way away.

Interior is nice......the rest of the car looks like it was designed by the guys that brought the world such wonderful cars like the Pontiac Aztek.
I would be careful what you say about the Aztek's Although Ugly... They (like all cars) still have potential... It is a matter of imagination.
Example: a 700+ HP Aztek....................
-
Wow, you guys are harsh!!!
Of course there is a market for these cars... remember, people scooped up the Cayenne (at record numbers).
Our China and Middle East regions are booming right now. The markets around the world are doing great for all of the manufacturers.
When the productions version comes out, I'll bring one by and let you guys decide what you thinik AFTER you drive it.
Is there even a market for that suv? The design reminds me of something that would have been made in the the 50's I can't ever imagine that going into production, let alone someone actually buying one. -
Well when I see brand new 2006 Spykers still sitting around I tend to think there's not exactly much demand for them.
I suppose that is understandable. BUT Spyker is not a brand that lends itself to being purchased "off the shelf" as most cars (even exotics). Owners get to choose from a number of custom options, with the factory working closer to the owner than most companies.
This part of the buying process is one of the reasons people enjoy the brand.
When owners are purchasing vehicles at this level ($$), they choose a vehicle that suits their particular driving style.
We can battle back and forth on brand loyalty, but that is not what this post was for.
for those that are not fans of the Spyker Brand, I am sorry that you do not see what the rest of us do.
thanks for everyone's thoughts on the SSUV.
-
So, did you like the country?
Loved it, although it was very American-ized.
Over all, not a bad place to go.

Just got back from a trip to Zeewolde, NL... I went to the Spyker Factory...
Saw the D8 SSUV - What do you guys think?
