So seems like a slightly softer more useable car, possibly with cr@p wheel design, so will have to tick the superleightweight wheel option.

As they all use the same engine, what's to stop me buying one of these and having the 12c engine map ?

I think so, and leave it open for a more powerful LT or limited edition model.

sorry, have just seen that the link had pictures, nothing wrong with those wheels and car looks fantastic in red.

poverty spec with sports exhaust sounds good to me, Im sure no different to the others but you can easily move that £126k a long way without trying very hard.

Regards my original comments re chipping the likes of DMS as an example can move a 550/560 Gallardo to 600 with relative ease, Turbo if I am not mistaken is even easier, they could have gone for smaller turbos and the like but as said on here unlikely.

Be interesting to see.

It would be very nice but kidding myself regards the 126k, they seem to charge for silly things that you wouldn't even think of, so even poverty spec, looks to me that anything other than white, blue, or grey is either 1200 or 3k extra, 3k for the exhaust, 3k for super light alloys, cover 500, tracker 600 which I guess insurance will insist on, and looking at pictures is the black vent panel on side and front splitter part of the 5k carbon pack ? Are they both white or body colour if no carbon pack ?
They are talking delivery Q1 2016

[TISPKJ]

So what do we think a standard car will look like ? Will it be all body colour if you don't spec the carbon pack ?

Hi Gary, I spoke with London (ascot ?) on Friday and they were quoting me Q4-15 for 570 and Q1-16 for 540 approx.
Have we seen any interior pics yet ? I can't get the configurator thing to work on my iPad

[TISPKJ]

£126k would be nice, £135 - £140 puts you in a cracking 12C (in fact so does 126 but you get my point).
Currently I want a 12C but would consider 540 just to have a new car.

Don't think I am in love with volcano orange but yes I keep a close eye on the classifieds and have been running a wanted add since November.
They offered me the silver one at 107 a month back which sold, not many actually for sale.

Lovetts have a couple of early cars for sale, luckily they are 2 hours away :-)

Looks good in real life photos

Given the price of a new 540 is the same as a second hand 12C - why would anyone buy the 12C (serious question)?

Want new, prefer the looks etc etc etc etc....

Voicey is saying why bother with a 12C ....

Im considering both curently, 12C will remain at this level indefinately I recon, 540 after first year can only fall some.

12C will remain the big brother, 1st model etc, but a new car would be nice.

Seen in the flesh at Millbrook this afternoon, just as I was leaving, unable to take photos or listen to it but looked nice.

[TISPKJ]

Will be interesting to see the difference between the 2 cars

Yes as per the other thread, you must be well pleased with the outcome.
