Claims are claims, 1 mph doesn't makes a big difference, especially when you compare a Bentayga to Urus. URUS is faster but if Bentley wanted or were allowed to make their V8 or V12 faster they certainly could - it's branding and VW has chosen Lambo URUS to get the faster V8. Ceramic brakes stiffer suspension faster transmission new exhaust - own a V12 Bentayga it's too soft will upgrade to the Speed for all the other reasons not the 1 mph. Bentley will only offer the V12 in the Speed here on out and added hybrid. Point was Porsche and Lamborghini like to one up each other at the Ring followed by a ton of marketing wouldn't be surprised URUS responding to the Bentley Speed.

The Urus still is faster in the 0-62 etc. But I also doubt the Bentayga Speed really is faster in reality. The Urus is a bit more powerful (15 PS more), but 50 Nm down. However the normal Bentayga is 220 kg heavier than the Urus, and I doubt the Speed is 220 kg (or more) lighter than the normal Bentayga? Also the Urus is a lot slicker thorugh the air I am sure! So I would like to see them go head to head in a top speed run. To me this is just VAG pushing Lamborghini to produce even faster SUV's ...

topjay Report post Posted February 15, 2019 At 600+ hp 25 more is nothing on cars of that weight. Tbh I was hoping for more from the speed, would still take a bentayga over urus though, nicer and better relaxed drive for everyday with the lazy v12 effortless, needs styling pack black pack and sports exhaust and it’s a nice car, just too expensive new. If it’s your only sports car though I see the appeal of urus, Also just see akrapovic have done a deal and are now supplying the factory sports exhausts for urus and previously bentayga, Lambo dealer is spamming trying to sell them.

My V12 listed for 260k got 30k off msrp Bentayga V8 low spec 175k msrp add Akrapovic it's a great deal vs the competition. Difference is Bentley is losing money on almost every car they are producing - the Bentayga is of higher bespoke quality. It's a lot like a Ferrari V12 vs V8 - the V12 line is much more high end than the V8. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckydaff Report post Posted February 19, 2019 Not really Lamborghini related, but Koenigsegg is showing their Agera successor as you might know at Geneva. And I just got news they will not tease the car until its official debut on the 5th. A bit sad since I love seeing teasers. But other makers are being really slow as well I feel. Nothing from any of the prestige brands to speak of atm? Strange ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl55 Report post Posted February 22, 2019 Looks like the EVO spyder will be shown at Geneva so I'm thinking the SVJ roadster might be unveiled at Quail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCR Report post Posted February 25, 2019 A little bird told me that the SVJ roadster and the H-EVO spyder will be shown at the Geneva show. Two open-top new models, that ought to be a first for Lamborghini. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw I just got word that Lamborghini is revealing the Evo Spyder tomorrow? Maybe online ...? Could someone here check the Lamborghini app for more teasers or info?

E7ITE Report post Posted February 28, 2019 From Pagani's instagram page, it looks like they'll be showing off something as well. BC Roadster perhaps? Or another Zonda HP Barchetta? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have on its press release the mention of a "Bagmotic Special Edition" on March 6th, which isn't Italian for anything that I know of.

What I see in this picture is a green EVO Spyder and in front of it, a gold Aventador Roadster. Most likely SVJ Roadster as the rumors have suggested. Do you agree?

Luckydaff Report post Posted February 28, 2019 Not sure what the Bagmotic thing is. Sounds random! But this teaser is of the SVJ Roadster at least! Notice how the engine cover is slightly different to the coupé! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destructo Report post Posted March 8, 2019 Well if they aren't doing a #63 Edition for the Roadster I assume the coupe owners are pleased for the time being. Good news for resale on those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but it's easy to build the same thru Ad Personam especially with a roadster. AV stays around for 2 years - guessing there is another above the J https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/f...an-lamborghini Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
