Looking Good For Huracan Performante,The New Benchmark

[sone]

I'm trying to decide which colour to order. I'll let you boys dash around the Nurburgring and up and down runways, I'll just Chillax and make a lot of noise (-:




Choices choices eh!

Nice one. Are there other wheel options for it as I find the multispoke ones far too fussy?

Yep, centrelock ones

I think we are crossing wires mate. I'm talking about sone's incoming Aventador S.

The multispoke ones on that which I'm referring to are centre lock. Really intricate lattice type cross spoke wheels. Too fussy for the Aventador in my (riff raff) opinion.

Strangely I prefer the cross spoke standard wheels on the Performante to the centre lock option. But I'd have mine painted black rather than bronze.

That is stunning, close to perfection ascetically I'd say. I think it's possible that in 30 years or so people will laud that car as they do the Miura now.

And as a side note, can we just stick Rambo and Juno in a closed room and leave them to act like children in private, it's becoming hugely tiresome.

Mate your welcome into the room , be my guest ? Otherwise just cut the childish crap posts !!!

He's right though.

He was complimenting your car but was also asking if we can stick to car discussion rather than the ridiculous one upmanship that pervades now.

I think most would agree with him.

I too am a massive fan of the new performante. All my issues with the way the Huracan is styled from the rear have been resolved. The spoiler so sets it off. However, I am not seeing the beauty in green. My Gallardo is Midas Gallo and that is a stunning colour for that car in my opinion. However I share some views that the Huracan does not suit yellow so much. I have some time to get my head around colour choice, as Spider is a way off yet. For normal cars I like greys but Lambo needs to shout at you, so has to be a suitable colour to convey that. Pangbourne had an orange Huracan spider recently with black wheels and stuff that looked incredible, so erring towards that currently. Red is out as that is for Ferrari's and at the risk of sounding contraversial white is not loud enough and too "footballer" for me (Cristiano Ronald had a white Gallardo spider once, lol.) All subjective, I know. Don't like blue either....lol. I am talking myself into Orange by the sounds of it....

[Superleg48]

Now I am definitely getting clearer in my mind...

[70proof]

Citrus deco suits lambo... this orange I have heard is not bright like aranchio borealis but more copperish

Matt Orange works with the bronze wheels which I love the design of.

Not sure bronze wheels will go with green so presumably they will also be available in silver or black

+1 for Orange. Arancio Borealis on the LP560 is my fave so when I go into a Huracan it will be the new version no doubt.

The colour is a grower and the car looked epic in the show, I'm even starting to like the bronze wheels! However the lighting in the hall was very special and I wonder if i this colour will pop quite as much in the open?

I love the bronze wheels!! I'm thinking about going more stealth though like the grey car you posted pics of. Can't wait to see the car at the show next week

The more I look at it the more beautiful it becomes (I don't know why I put "ascetically" in my post, bloody spell checker! But I'm sure you knew what I meant.)

I know you are a Lambo man Purple and I have owned one myself and loved the experience but the only thing that puts me off the Performante is the poor vision. God forbid I should support RamboLambo on anything but it is true that the forward view is very restrictive, and the diving bonnet leaves you without any external visual markers.
Of course I drove one for 2 years without it causing me any problems so perhaps I'm being too precious but after other cars with better vision the Huracan does feel a bit claustrophobic. I see you are looking at an Aventador, I've never driven one but are they better in this respect?

Anyway, all lovely cars and though I'm leaning heavily towards the 720S at the moment that Performante is a work of bloody art. It just screams dark side and rebellion with every swoop and angle! I really have to stop looking at it because it's corrupting me!
You're a younger man than me Purple so it's probably more suited to you, the pig ugly 720S is definitely nearer the cut of my jib!

I've noted a few people commenting on to the visibility out of the Huracan personally I've never thought it was any worse than the 458 or Aventador I've drove previously. The vision through the slatted rear is absolutely fine as well with big wing mirrors to help even more. I think it could be a bit of a bit of a struggle if you were very tall but otherwise it's no problem!

Geneva summed up nicely IMHO I need not say anymore on who stole the show

I have never wanted a Lamborghini quite simply because I really don't like the interiors. They just look naff to me

Audi interiors are usually pretty good but I must admit the Huracans does not feel quality and lets it down. Very plastic and dare I say an R8's is better
