Thanks

So after much consideration I couldn't help myself

I'm amazed how good this car feels, the gearbox and acceleration are fantastic.

No I'm afraid the Aventador has gone to a new home. Tbh this car suits me much better, it's not quite so in your face, it drives like a modern supercar and I think looks good as well. Nothing wrong with the Aventador lovely car great fun and I'm glad I owned one.

Congrats on the new purchase Steve. The car looks absolutely lovely and I shall look forward to seeing (& hearing) it come through the village. If you see someone wave at you with a cheesy grin then that'll be me ;-) Enjoy your Huracan in good health.

Regards,

Dan

Congrats Steve!

Will you be hooning it around Silverstone during the Sunday Service on the 22nd ?

I'd love to see it on the move - in my rear view mirror of course!

Night and day to be honest. The cabin is just as nice as the Aventador and actually feels as roomy which is strange given how much smaller the car is. The Aventador feels heavy in comparison while the Huracan feels every bit the modern light-ish ( relatively speaking) weight supercar.
I'll miss the Aventador for the event of driving it, the noise and the doors, however I won't miss it's gearbox or thirst. The Huracan is already looking cheap to run in comparison(-;.
I've heard comment elsewhere that the Huracan feels quicker upto 150moh than the Aventador and for me I'd say that's probably right the gearbox is so good it's absolutely seamless while the Aventador is paused very slightly between gears.
In summary I'd say the Huracan is more of a drivers car while the Aventador more a posers car but both are great in their own way.
I'd consider an Aventador again if the put a proper gearbox in it, but that's not happening anytime soon.

this might sound sad, but my favourite thing about the huracan (inside at least) is the little lambo logo on centre console before the gauges kick in. Least favourite is the typical sanding marks and deep scratches all of the paint.

It's nice to see you disregarding the Top Gear rhetoric. Their point seemed to be that Lambos should be worse cars to drive than other supercars. Ridiculous. I'll be taking a look when the spider is released.

Anyway I see you have swapped your derelict warehouse for some sort of post-apocalyptic wasteland. You really know how to live the high life.

I am sure the Huracan is a great car to drive - but then they all are, with every new model. I think however, that you will soon miss the Aventador.
