Fortis Report post Posted March 2, 2017 Ok guys. I have never done this before with a new car. I went today to my dealer to option it. I decided i don't really care about crazy colors and options/etc. My philosophy was to run it bare bones but was sure to get the LDS and electronic shocks because the track car had. So the base gloss white body with Mimas wheels because they're the lightest. Remembered that from Fiske buying a set for his H. I also honestly love the way they look vs the center lock wheel and the other bronze wheel they offer for extra $. Then the body will have the red/green Italian livery stripes in stickers down the side and VI Performante script on the back quarter panels. Obviously VI calipers too. Race seats, with the $3500 option for the VI green in the seats like a A SV and green stiching in seats and dash. Comes to 292 or so. The question is, am i fcuking up resale by not wanting NAV, branding package, Bluetooth, etc?? Is it crazy to not want to spend the $ on those options? Last question for now is what do you guys think of colors. Gloss white body with the VI accents and gloss black Mimas. I can wrap roof in black aftwr i get it. Side skirts and parts of the front/rear will all be flat black. No style package. Am i crazy to not get a real color? Any ideas? Sounds spot on but I'd get the stereo and Bluetooth etc. for resale. Stereos are beyond rubbish in Lambos but without one cars are hard to move 2nd hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert-LP Report post Posted March 2, 2017 unbelievable lap time with even "standard" tires, unbelievable driving easiness without too much corrections with the steering wheel: what a big downforce that car has! Standing ovation for the driver and the car, a milestone in road car aerodynamics performances. ciao Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl55 Report post Posted March 2, 2017 Get the Nav because it now has Apple car play which is important for some. I have read that the Nav could be unlocked by the dealer at a later time but I was told you need to do a module swap so definitely cheaper to get it as an option.

JohnN Report post Posted March 2, 2017 That's another thing. As he was pushing through 300kph the car was lagging hard. Wtf. Shouldn't clip 200mph gear limiter with ease? I know it's not ugr, but.... Which leads me to my next question. Would a VF blower kit with the extra power fcuk with the handling/balance at all? Or will it simply give the car some more balls. Would be nice to know it can drag race hard against the best in a straight line... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low-medium speed acceleration, stability and handling are much more important. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Demon Report post Posted March 2, 2017 Was that Lamborghini official tweet saying the run was made on Trofeo tires? The rep at the enveil said standard 220 treadwear Pirellis. I would like an answer to this as well. All the sites - Autoweek, Car Throttle, Road & Track all are reporting that the lap was done on Trofeo R... I would like to see an official write up from Lambo on which tires were used... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SV-N-IT Report post Posted March 2, 2017 I purposely asked this question to the factory reps and head of all US Lambo sales at the event. and they ALL confirmed they were not Trofeo R's, they are the new Pirelli tire that was designed for the car and come standard. I just put trofeo R's on my Huracan so I was going to do the same on the P, but now I'm keeping the stock tires Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_sta07 Report post Posted March 2, 2017 Chris Harris There is a link in his post to Harris's tweeter Acc. I thought that's who. I'd hardly call him a "failed" anything though! You may disagree but he's now a host of Top Gear. That's pretty big time considering the new season actually looks like it has serious promise. Plus, not everyone gets into the whole lap time thing.

APB Report post Posted March 2, 2017 I think Harris was referring to how he doesn`t care about the Ring times in general. Can`t blame him, there are many who think the same way, including James May. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Also Koenigsegg congratulated Lambo on their epic feat at the Ring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiBull Report post Posted March 2, 2017 I just read around on Mclaren life on the Performante...tin foil hats all around Bonus points for Asscelerator (TogueSpirit) making a guest appearance and claiming to be an aerodynamics PhD working on spacecraft. That lap looked so smooth. Very little sawing at the wheel and the car seemed perfectly settled the whole time. Amazing to watch.
