how many 2008 superleggera's left in uk....

[70proof]

just curious.....

and are they a classic?

[UH-Matt]

I reckon by now you can count how many on two hands.

Could well be a future classic if current demand (and price) is anything to go by. I know 3 poeple who have sold one in the last couple of years and all have lived to regret it.

Accroding to this site (stolen from a recent PH thread) there are 2 left as of this year..

Do it

[SpeedFreakDave]

why so few? do they get bought by overseas buyers? I was looking at the Balboni press car and made an offer on that last year but it went to China in the end.

What's so good about the SL btw?

Is is better to drive than a 3.8 GT3 RS?

Quite different being 4wd. It is quite an experience and feels like a very special car, but i think that is what lambo do very well, making the whole experience feel special. A GT3RS is very purposeful and excellent at what it does, the lambo just seems more special. Personally I am not a massive fan of 4wd. On track I'd take the GT3.

Having only driven and sl a tiny bit, my point of view is mainly from hours and hours in the passenger seat. I would say that it is fairly incredible with vicious acceleration unlike any other lambo I have experienced (gallardo, gallardo spyder, murcie, lp550, lp570 sl). The sound track is incredible and the car is immensely capable even in the wet. The four wheel drive keeps it planted unlike the lp550 which has the wheel drive and is much more lively and squirmy. The sl remains one of my favourite cars after being in many. I know it's not a driver's point of view but I have experienced the sl a lot and I just want to convey some of my thoughts on it - it is fantastic IMHO!

May I add that they are a stunning car.

At CPoP last weekend.

But this isn't a 2008 SL as per the thread..............

[SpeedFreakDave]

A friend has a SL on an 07 plate, is the 08 a later model? If so what's the difference? I thought there was just the old SL and the new one that came out last year the LP-570-4?
