This car is all about context.
Driving to Monaco in it and parking up in Casino Square - Yes.
Driving it to the training ground from your home in Cheadle Hulme - No.
Driving it on the Italian Riviera for a clandestine lunch with a lovely lady at the Hotel Splendido in Portofino - Yes.
Driving it through Chobham, Surrey, or any other suburban British town - No.
Drive this thing around the UK and , frankly, you would look a bit of a clown IMO. I would have to wear a disguise.

Agree 100% , except for one detail - not sure this is the car if the lunch with the lady is meant to be "clandestine"! Driving to Monaco in it and parking up in Casino Square - Yes.

This will be every child's favourite Hot Wheels toy, and is really quite a sensation. Even better than the Gallardo Concept S. Well done Lamborghini.
This is brilliant. The Murcielago and Gallardo era Lamborghinis were fairly restrained (well, except the odd special edition... Balboni), the Aventador was a good start on the proper lunacy that the Countach and Diablo had... but this is straightjacket-nuts.
I also really like the rear-wing mounts.

Saw an aventador pull up nest to me as I waited outside a mall, and after the initial 'wow it's an aventador in real life!' moment, I couldn't help but feel it looks really restrained and lacking in pantomime, which surprised me because the car looks bonkers on paper. The murci and especially the sv, look a lot more old school Lamborghini to me in real life. Weird, because I was sure the aventador was mentalI also really like the rear-wing mounts.
when the 
in the white van coming the other way times his spit just right, there'll be nothing to stop you getting it full in the face.
happened to me yesterday but they mistimed, fortunately. and only a couple of months back i had to stop and wipe my windscreen after some dirty chavs were spitting off a bridge on the A12.
anyway, doesn't stop it looking absolutely fantastic.

Cannot believe I have only just seen this.
I absolutely love it. Stupid yes. But this is a proper supercar for all the reasons I recall loving supercars in the 80's.
Was beginning to think Lambo were getting a little boring, Gallardos etc, but the Aventador and this J are just brilliant. Properly stupid supercars.
First car I can think of where the seats have got me as excited as much as the engine!
Another addition for the fantasy garage along with a Zonda Cinque.
Excellent.
