Huracan

[sone]

So who has bought one? There's little talk of them on here I test drove one a few months ago and thought it might be a good move after the Aventador!
Feedback would be good from new or prospective owner.


Cheers

Thank you Topjay refreshingly honest. Reminds me of when I was looking at buying a 996 GT3RS Porsche. At the time there was a lot of haters, it was to harsh, water cooled so not a proper Porsche now you can't get one for less than a fortune..
For me it looks and sounds as good as the Aventador I think it's just time before it starts getting the love it deserves.

The only problem I can see with the car is the solid rear cover, I think it looks every part the Lambo carrying on the tradition of excessive over the top looks. Personally I think it makes the Gallardo a bit plain. It's edging toward the V12 design.if it'd had the daft doors I'd have one already!

Thanks Kav1 good to hear it from the point of view of someone who actually drives their car properly as it's meant to be used.

So after much consideration I couldn't help myself

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

Great PIC.... Many congrats.... Hope this is in addition to the aventador!

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.

Nice Sone -how does this compare to the Aventador?

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.

That is sad!

Did you get my email?

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.

I already miss it but if you're inclined too drive your cars and not just look at them the Huracan makes more sense. In an ideal world I'd have both!

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!

Sorry missed this, I will be at Silverstone yes but I'll be in my V6 Exige, it's my track toy(-:
