Are you talking about the carbon race seats or the normal ones?

Edit: seems to be the carbon ones, not suprised, look cool but pretty hardcore, also not available in the UK yet.

I've driven a couple and the interiors are fantastic, especially with the Alcantara finish!
Seats seem fantastic.

If they are the same as the Gallardo race seats the backs are fixed so I guess they either suit you, in which case they are comfortable, or they don't and can't be adjusted.

Weird, the one I drove albeit only for an hour were really conmfortable, noticeably better than my LP560. Maybe I was overexcited, the carbon ones not so much though (tough on lower back, for me anyway) which I did notice, still fine but not really for longer trips or daily use, should save them for the SL.

but...

the gallardo carbon fibre buckets can be mounted at a more reclined angle, by using the alternative mounting holes at the front of the seat frame

Orange ones are comfortable enough.... more adjustability would have been nice.

Overall the Huracan is like a 911 turbo which roars..... amazing traction, instantly responsive gearbox, incredible levels of grip and stability, but with a roar that will make you grin from ear to ear.

I really like everything I've heard about the Huracan but I loved the Gallardo too. It seems to be more of a tool than an ownership experience but sometimes fast,dependable and accomplished is what I want in a car. Just like my Mrs but I'll need to sell her to buy a Lambo

Mixed review on top gear tonight. Personally I love the way it looks especially in lairy colours although I would want a glass rear window. For me it was the interior and driving experience that was a bit disappointing for a Lambo.

Retaining the normally aspirated V10 in a world of boring 8 pot turbos was inspired. That alone should ensure the Huracan sells for years to come?

I agree but the number on sale suggests they have missed the spot with Lambo buyers. Maybe a lightweight spyder special edition is what they are all waiting for biggrin:

Agree with above and for me the 650S spider is a definite keeper so I don't actually give a hoots what its worth despite what everyone else thinks. Its ticks all my boxes and is such an accomplished all round car with no compromises that I can find. It will sit nicely next to the F355GTS
430 Scuderia and LP570-4 Performante will probably be moved on when the time/place is right whether that be gain or loss. Preferrably gain but I don't see them as keepers keepers
That's one hell of a collection of cars GRBF430F1

Means they are not interested in Retailing it and just want to get out of it quick and get the cash back in the bank. Sometimes the first "loss" is the best loss. If they take a small hit on it now that's better than a large one later. Having all that money tied up for 6 months in a depreciating asset will see any potential profit margin eroded and then add in the lost sales opportunity of turning over 4/6 cars with that money during the time period.

May be a good buy for someone desperate to own a Huracan

No not really at the moment tbh. I do think with the glass panel now available for the back of them they are much more of an attractive option. I also think they will become very popular as I've been told the number of available new cars is going to be very much less this year..
Top gears review will have put a few people off I fear but that'll be short lived when they realise what a numpty the Hamster is.
For me the Huracan is the best looking mainstream supercar of the lot. It might not be the best but it's all about excess with
Lambo and in my opinion it's spot on. Trouble is were spoilt for choice!
