They might come up for sale though, as quite a few people these days are being rejected finance. Mine is arriving in September . I’ve just bought a STO though, so will see which one I prefer, as doubt I’ll keep both.
Px'd my STO for the Tecnica and unless you do mainly track driving I think you will end up doing the same TBH.
STO is epic to look at but on your average UK A and B road its a pig to drive IMHO. Its built for the track

Tecnica is probably slightly closer to the wild STO than the sedate RWD with quite a stiff set up still but far better steering, more compliant handling and all the creature comforts you want. As someone else said before its like a GT3 touring
Tecnica is far more useable on the road, more than capable on the track and still gets plenty of looks if thats your thing.
Like you say there is no real point having both STO and Tecnica

nice position to be in.... sure your son will be thinking one for me lol

yes, any slots coming up will be cancellation slots, if you lucky it will be before the spec is fixed. contract allows dealer to sell it for under list and keep the difference from your depo

Car finally collected. Very happy with how it’s turned out. Can’t comment yet on how it differs from the STO but look forward to finding out 😀

Sweet.
Nice colour and wheels. Shame carbon roof isn't available to tie in with bonnet and rear engine deck but probably can get a matching wrap to finish it off

Yeah me to.
I miss the race car looks of my STO but less so the drive.
If there was 1 car I could have to just look at in my garage it would be the STO

To drive on the road though the tecnica is far better.
They have also somehow improved on the steering with the tecnica which is right up there with my 675LT spider.
An ego mode for suspension and gearbox indepedent setup would have been epic but get that was never going to be a development for a limited last hooray run out model

I found the first Huracans pretty unexciting compared to Gallardo Superleggera I had at the time. In fact I had one on loan when the Gallardo was being serviced and couldn't wait to swap them back.

The latest/last Huracans are brilliant though. In a few years every one of them will still be brilliant, and the heads of people who have only experienced bigger heavier hybrid things (never mind electric), will explode if they try one!

Yep the proper supercar era is coming to an end.
These last N/A cars are the last and the best of a dying breed and will always be sought after by enthusiasts.
Artura, revulto, and 296 have no interest from me.
Might as well buy a cheap Tesla

Totally agree with this. Hybrids are fundamentally compromised as sports cars. I found the 296 needlessly overcomplicated, and underwhelming as an experience. Looking forward to my Tecnica arriving in the UK for delivery. I'm told it's build completed, though I've not seen any pics on my Unica app (is that where the factory posts the final inspection shot??)

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but when and where should I be receiving the "tunnel of light / final inspection" photograph of my Tecnica? Is it in the Unica app?

That's lovely with the grey and yellow. First time I've been tempted by a lambo.

Lovely to hear that smile
Lambos don't have to be leary! And I reckon the contrast between the matte titanium paint and black gloss trim is schmeck smile But then I would say that...

Interesting recent vid, real world weight test and the tecnica and sto are more or less identical
