Aventador Performante

Agreed - will be a bit odd if they don't bring that technology to their flagship model given how special it appears to be.
But goodness me - the relentless supply of cars, each with variants is quite impressive across the different manufacturers. What do you do if you have just bought an SV Aventador with now potentially an SV S Aventador appearing so soon afterwards? It's going to be interesting to see how readily the market soaks up the supply.
This was a concern of mine, hence why I sold my SV. Also Aventador S was so close to an SV in performance and looks didn't help matter'sBut goodness me - the relentless supply of cars, each with variants is quite impressive across the different manufacturers.

Wasn't the FAKE Huracan ring time put down to the fantastic ALA and yet on their flagship car its not apparent and potentially dropped ?
It's not getting dropped - it's getting replaced. The AVentador S comes out this year, there will be a Aventador Roadster S next year, then the Aventador S SV. Then there will be a replacement car.....and I can'r wait.I was really disappointed by my Aventador SV - Lamborghini had become a parody of itself under Winkleman. Stefano Demenicali has restored my faith in Lamborghini. The Bull is roaring on all 12 cylinders right now.....
PS - I still love McLaren too!
It's all perspective. A very fast car - and in isolation - it is right up there. It looks as super car as you can get.
But it's about the details The gearbox - well IMHO - it's a technical cul-de-sac. The sales guys have been able to sell it as being an emotional gear change. Well they used to when it was first launched. But, in my experience Corsa mode upsets the car around a track. Sport is better - but not as quick. an in direct comparison to a DSG - it's chalk and cheese.
But also, the steering in Comparison to a McLaren - well it's so heavy - no real finesse. In comparison to my old Speciale - it's almost like comparing the Industrial revolution to the space age.
Don't get me wrong - as I say in isolation - it's the full on experience. But I think the Aventador S will make the SV seem like what it is.
I am very much looking forward to the products under the guidance of Setfano Domincali - he just get's it - and it's all in the details!

Did you consider getting the gearbox remapped? Make gearchanges faster and smoother.But it's about the details The gearbox - well IMHO - it's a technical cul-de-sac.

To be quite honest, I've had three - Coupe, Roadster and SV - all from new. In my opinion, a remap is not going to fix the issue. How many Aventador owners have had issues - whether is to do with "clutch recalibration or relearning bit points" etc... As I have said in previous posts - for a circa £300K car - you'd expect the gearbox to work......or evan gearboxes changed under warrentee?I do not buy into the sales patter of a more emotional gear change experience - try going as flat out as you can, brake and change down for Pouhon at Spa - thank god for the massive tarmac'd run off!

Some of the top remappers, like MRC, can work some pretty good magic at times.
Maybe. But then why didn't VAG do it like that? They have rather greater resources to get it right?I now always leave as the factory intended. You can cause real and serious problems otherwise. I did it once; never again.

Completey agree Ferruccio. I went on a Tuscany tour once - the only car that failed had aftermarket wheels - and a body kit - the Wheels failed - but Lamborghini were excellent and loaned a car from the academy and sent replacement wheels (Diones).....I now always leave as the factory intended. You can cause real and serious problems otherwise. I did it once; never again.

Sorry but this thread has no credibility until Juno has started about a dozen different threads hyping the car
1.Too wide for the lanes around here2.Too expensive for my poultry wallet
3. Lap record will hear nothing but cries of Fake Fake Fake
And
Anything I say will be taken in evidence and used to BAN me
So in summary Lambo are the Performance leaders right now
TOPIC ENDORSED

Just ignore him everyone.
Or report him.
Report him for what? I like Rambo Lambo. He keeps things from getting too serious. Besides, he does have a point about the ring time for the Hurican Performante. I'm sure it's a great car, but I don't understand the bragging rights thing over lap times. Or report him.

What point?Do you not think, given VAG's "small" problem with defeat devices, that if any other car company could prove that they'd cheated, they would be all over it??
I have no axe to grind with any marque by the way. I just like enjoying cars.

They are probably covered in the fine print given the issues they have had. It is probably not that difficult by mentioning 'non-standard' parts. Besides if all the car manufacturers went after each other, there would be so much litigation that they would all sink.

There is no fine print in the Huracan Performante marketing materials?I have no axe to grind with any marque by the way. I just like enjoying cars.
