RE: Lamborghini Aventador S revealed

[TerryThomas]

Yeah all that diamond stitched alcantara, real carbon fibre, double TFT screens and scissor doors... What an awful place to be.

[robsco]

It's the interior that lets the car down for me too I'm afraid. I'm sure Lamborghini will be crying into their cereal. It all looks a bit slabby and with no styling prowess, a shame.

[Erudite geezer]

The only Lamborghini I have on my wish list is an early pre-Audi, pop up headlight, 2wd Diablo.

Countachs, Murcielagos and Aventadors and the smaller Gallardo and Huracans do not excite me 1 iota.

Saw a pearlescent white Gallardo in a supermarket car park last week, and could not be arsed to have a closer look....just find them a bit meh.

Agreed, the Aventador looks so much better, and this S model even more so. Probably the ultimate real-world (i.e. a production car rather than a limited edition car costing £2M) supercar. A very good restyle, combining the best parts of the original Aventador and the SV. Very good.

Only German car worth having.

Your point being it's German & not really Italian?

I think it's because they aren't really doing anything innovative. Other similar companies such as Porsche and Ferrari are making genuinely unique and special cars with the latest technology, Lamborghini are just beating the same old drum of looking and sounding great - then produce a dozen overpriced limited editions that nobody gives a st about.

Seen one Lambo, seen them all.

Looks ok, but it's just another Audi.
Nothing exotic about a Audi is there!

Perhaps this is what you were referring to?

What's Carplay?

[sparta6]

4 wheel steering ?
So Lambo have finally woken up and taken inspiration from the Porsche 928 Weissach axle.
Congrats

Lambo Aventador SV beat the LaFerrari round the Nurb.

Upcoming Lambo Huracan Performante looks like it will beat the Porsche 918 and take the Nurb production record.

Both Lambos are half the price of the Fezza and Porker.

Pound for pound, modern Lambo hypercars smash Ferrari and Porsche hypercars.

Lambo's biggest problem is that it does not take part in tier-one motor racing. People don't see Lambo on TV in F1, Le Mans, etc., so they perceive it to be a poser car. The reality is very different.

Apparently so. It's amazing what passes for humour with some people isn't it.

You don't understand the meaning of the word unique, and as pointed out above the rest of your post is nonsense too.

I cannot find a lap time on Google for the LaFerrari around the Nurburgring, but did see that the SV was 2.9s slower than the 918. The new Huracan 'may' be faster, but we don't know yet so that's just speculation.

[MagicMonkey]

Does anyone know if you're able to get ISOFIX points in modern Lamborghinis such as this and the Hurracan? My 3yo son loves sports cars and was thinking about hiring one for his next birthday.

All the standard marks of class. Wonder why no ones house has an interior like that... because it looks like crap. :-)

WTF are you talking about houses for!?!

[Jam12321]

That is pretty funny... really though the interior is a bit Vauxhall-ish to me if you moved the slab in the middle forward and took the badges off. its the bland looking shape - the slabs of plastic making up the dash, the bits of carbon fibre and yellow stripes.

If you said to me Vauxhall just made a sports car that's what I'd imagine the interior to look like.
