SV-N-IT Report post Posted March 4, 2013 That shot looks sick! Nothing like paying 4 mill for a rebodied Aventador.. They got lazy.. last time they found 20 nutjobs for a rebodied Murci.. this time they decided to double the price and only find 3? 1.25m=P1 700k=Aventador SV 2mil=House on the water Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it could almost be a "market study" for the coming Aventador SV, but that could be just my hopes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least now we know how much power its "LP640"-update will have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

qvpower Report post Posted March 4, 2013 Hopefully some of the new technology will wind up in production cars. Then it would be a win. Technology, yes. Looks, please no. Lambo is flashy enough... Don't need a sail fish fin to get more attention... On the other hand, the weight reduction shows that there is at least that much weight can be taken off the aventador Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambornima Report post Posted March 4, 2013 275 pounds lighter. 50 horsepower more. Alien looks. I say this is a winner! An Aventador can run a 10.6@136 mph and this thing will be quite a bit quicker still! Low 10's at 140 mph? Thats Veyron territory. People need to stop with the "But I can go to the dollar store and buy 4 million things instead" attitude. Its expensive because there are 3 of them. And we have no idea how much of the extra 10 million in revenue that this thing generated will go towards its testing and development costs.

Destructo Report post Posted March 4, 2013 275 pounds lighter. 50 horsepower more. Alien looks. I say this is a winner! Bingo, and hit you on the main point. Much lighter. It appears as if Lamborghini has moved on from the "penis bragging" of X,XXX horsepower from a car, and gone the thinking man's route, of, "we've got plenty of horsepower, now let's make it lighter." Because in all honestly, 750 is way more horsepower than most anyone would ever need or use effectively. Now the challenge is adapting and creating technology that maximizes what they already have to make it 'faster' and more impressive. Just a thought.

Now the challenge is adapting and creating technology that maximizes what they already have to make it 'faster' and more impressive. Just a thought. I think Winkelman said just that exact thing. Cars have enough HP now. For 70000 dollars you can get a 650hp rustang. The shift of focus on Design and the lotus mantra of 'add lightness' are a refreshing change. That's where these companies have the advantage. Any decent tuner can extract hp from a sold platform, but the functional aero and lightness have to come from the base design.

Not just, well mine is more powerful than yours. And if people say that they don't appreciate purposeful design, look at the fan-base and rave reviews of the Pagani Huayra, and the Zonda.

Even though I was one to bring up an example of "you could get... ," I agree that the market for this car is for people who have little to worry toward price. And sometimes it's fun to think of what else $4 million could get especially in regards to the other halo cars at Geneva, just for fun. I'm suspecting Ralph Lauren is an owner of this car....
