Are Speciale That Special

[Juno]

As much as I would like one of these I can't bring myself to pay the crazy asking prices.

51 of 123 458's for sale are Specialie's so they really don't seem that rare and lots of them have been up for sale for ages now!!!

I would think any dealers who are into these at £300k plus must be a bit worried?

Any thoughts ?

I'm really keen for one and regret not buying a new one (whether I would have actually got on the list is another matter). However, I personally won't pay anywhere near current prices. I'll happily wait and my strike price is between £200-250k for. RHD. Some may say it will never happen but anywhere North of £250k isn't going to happen for me. I don't mind high mileage either as long as it's a no stories car. I've been monitoring these for a while and the same cars are not selling but the pool of supposed available cars is increasing and we are not in Winter. Quite a few speculators have bought these I reckon as quite a few are very low mileage........

First of all. It's Speciale.

Then yes it is as special as they say it is. I agree that the pricing for RHD went ballistic as soon as people started to realise how good it was. And being the last n/a V8 made things worse.

I personally bought a LHD as it was more reasonably priced. It's not s car I use everyday and driving the other side doesn't bother me. You can only really drive with a certain commitment on wider open roads so being on the other side is not a big deal. Track you would not notice and Euro trips which is what you really want to do in this car you would be better off. I also bought before the exchange rate exploded so I guess it helped.

I am about to take it to the German Alps and a few Austrian and Italian passes. I might run a blog here on PH on the trip.

In any case at any speed it's ferocious and visceral. So special no journey is dull. Gears are so short you can actively use up to 4th gear without getting too much into jail territory. Love it.

The only negative for me is the width coming from a GT3 I think it's too wide for our stty UK undeveloped road network. And the radio is so st it's not even funny.

I am with you - I just bought a LHD Speciale (Yellow) which I get next week. It was already UK registered so the fx rate was not such a drag.
The LHD's are at list or thereabouts (230k), not the comic prices being asked.

I think it will be epic.

Now looking around and 488's seem to be coming down to £220k's range,looking at the trickery it should be a bit quicker than 458 Speciale, it doesent look unexciting either despite the turbos. Whats the score when a 488 Speciale is announced?

I read on another thread GTR RS's have taken a big correction and still not selling ?

Having given up on the Speciale market I have found this little gem which I personally think will be far more special than Speciale The new Lamborghini Huracan LP640 Performante Coupe,apparently the new holder of the road car Ring record?

You have now posted this in at least three threads in the last couple of days. Whilst I'm sure you're excited you're beginning to remind me of someone.....

Relevant though? I think !

No trust me it is really called the Performante Coupe,Honest !!!

I am excited about the Huracan Superleggera (not performante coupe - as that's the name for the drop-top?)

BUT, I cannot stand those wheels. I loathe them on the Aventador SV and they are still horrible on this. Not to mention how boring would they be to clean?

Part of the appeal of the Gallardo SL / Performante was those stunning thin-spoked wheels.

Back-end looks awesome.

Here we go

Huracan LP640 Performante
The next Superleggera called the Huracan LP640 Performante is rumored to be introduced at the Geneva 2017 show with US deliveries starting in late Summer. It is confirmed to have the beaten the 918's lap record at the Nurburgring Nordschleife and is now the fastest production car on the Ring!

According to dealership sources, it will have carbon composite front/rear spoilers with active flaps that give it significantly more down force than a regular Huracan, 4 wheel steering, Apple car play, built-in telemetry system, and an exhaust like a super Trofeo car!

A recently applied trademark suggests that Lamborghini is working on a fourth iteration for the entry-level Huracan supercar. According to Auto Guide, the Italian firm has applied to trademark the Huracan Performante name. Given that the Performance badge has been previously used on a convertible version of the Gallardo Superleggera, Lambo may be planning a similar version of the Huracan.

Already available in coupe and spyder versions, the Huracan has yet to receive the higher performance Superleggera treatment, but the vehicle has been spotted testing as early as 2015. The Superleggera is expected to break cover in late 2016 or early 2017 with an aggressive body kit and a beefed-up V-10 engine rated at more than 630 horsepower (versus the standard 602 horses). The Performante model should arrive with identical specs, but slightly different aerodynamic upgrades.

There’s no word as to when the fourth version of the Huracan might hit showrooms, but given that we have yet to see any test cars as of October 2016, the high-performance roadster is at least 12 months away.
