I don't know what's wrong with me, but it leaves me cold. Impressive kit, and brilliant engine, but even if I was paid to own one I wouldn't.

Was looking at 2nd hand hurracans and couldn't feel a strong enough want for that either.

Fantastic thing. Pretty much a grail car for me.

The engines in them need to be experienced to be believed. The noise is out of this world. I truly don't have the vocabulary to convey what it's like.

Not a fan of the stickers on this one. As if it needs those to stand out!

This red one is sublime.

But this one is off the charts.

That is just the bks!

Wow, what colour is that?

I don't know I'm afraid.

But if someone told me they were speccing their Lamborghini in brown I'd try to change their mind.





I couldn't have been more wrong.

It's stunning.

Shmee had an especially nice colour done. Then ruined it by sticking decals over it.

That options list is ridiculous.

And for £300k, you would damn well expect the car to be absolutely brilliant.

Having said that, I am starting to warm to Lambo. Never used to be a fan, but their recent efforts seem to be pretty good.

Very silly but that is why it is so good. Never a fan of yellow "accents" but another colour, dark red perhaps.

PH being silly again..."Perhaps a new 911 GT3 RS will deliver an equivalent combination of fearsome track prowess, street theatre and just-sufficient civility to the STO"....

As well as the theatre it seems to deliver perfectly. Something not all Lambos seem to achieve.

You can understand why Lamborghini have gone for bold colours for press car use, but they do look so much better without all the contrast accents. In a single colour, it looks epic.

From the front view, the yellow bit looks like a porn star moustache

Normal to be honest, car was great in plain purple still not sure on the yellow highlights.

In a single colour, that would be a lottery car for me. Proper chutzpah

Greta wouldn’t appreciate this beautiful Italian carbon maker even though it’s far too late for any planet saving. Unless Captain Kirk can come up with last minute new worlds and civilisations its cars like this that make our few years on earth spectacularly enjoyable.

I keep thinking to myself that for desirability it is a very close call between this and the Mclaren 620R, I really like what the respective manufacturers have done with both, but then I remember that one has a n/a V10 and it no longer seems that close at all. In the real world I'd love to be in the position to take either one of course, and would happily do so, but there's nothing quite like the spine tingling rasp of a V10 to elevate a car to another level.

Sports seats for £4950?
Are they taking the fking p155 or what, something like this should have them as standard, plus things like an alarm(!?!?) and reversing camera.
Yes I know they play the game of fleecing customers, but really?
Looks like a great car but some of the costs are jaw dropping. £640 for cruise control - why is that not standard? An extra £18,000 for this choice of paint and stickers yikes
Why do people not understand that if you made options costs the same as they are on. Fiesta ST they would not be maximising the profit their customers are will to pay?

£500 sports seats on a £300k car is a stupid idea for any car manufacturer.

Yeah, that is quite something. The car in the press shots looks a big naff in comparison.

It's just a shame Lamborghini no longer offer a gated manual so you could have a full dose of supercar theatre together with that V10 and RWD.

The rear wing doesn't seem to go with the rest of the car.

It's a Huracan, so epic regardless.
