RE: Lamborghini Centenario - Geneva 2016

[sandysinclair]

History has dictated that the Lambo special editions bear strong styling clues to the next model. I really hope on this occasion we are wrong, as the Centenario sorry Aventacan is just a plain lazy miss mash of ideas. Get rid of the bloody set square and give us some sexy swoopy curves.

I wonder if releasing this it has damaged the longevity of the Aventador model .

Not at the ridiculous price they're asking for it.

I often wonder at what stage will the super rich realise they are being made fools of ??

Bonkers isn't it ?? You'd assume that acquiring such vast wealth (in most cases) you would need some bit of 'smarts' ?

I like to think that there are two kinds of super rich:

1. Those who have worked for their wealth and are not fools;
2. Those who have had wealth bestowed upon them and are fools.

She should get out in the sun more.

A really hideous design, the whole thing is a bit of a mess really. Too busy, too many vents and angles and daft aero.

I love it. I'm glad there's bonkers cars like this and rich enough fools to buy them, otherwise they'd probably just be built as concepts and later forgotten about/dismantled. Much better that those with more money than sense are willing to subsidise these becoming proper, working cars.

It'll be going here too.

What's with the yellow bit ?

Looks like my sisters plastic hair clip

[ColonialNomad]

Looks wise, I love it more than I like the Huracan. This one looks low, lean and they've lengthened the nose a little to make it look like it carries more forward momentum. The profile is smoother, looks like its been wind tunnel tested. None of the pretentious angular projections on the sesto.

And those who are rich enough that £20-100,000 is an inconsequential sum compared to the other amounts they spend, regardless of how they made the money.

And probably those who think jeez, that's mad, crazy, insane. It looks hilarious. I got have one.
If I was minted, reading how annoying it is to a lot of PHers... I'd have one to just annoy those folk. It's never bothered me what other people think or what they think they know. AS much as some may think these people are fools, who's really having the last laugh?

[rodericb]

It looks pretty wild. I'd be sticking some matt black vinyl over those yellow bits if one lobbed in my garage. Harder to do something about those exhaust outlets - making them twin outlet, larger in diameter and slash cutting them so they stand about 10mm proud of the diffuser.

Two contradictory statements.

Not at all... It would make it all the more fun to having one, as apposed to not having one only because people thought I was a fool. Simples
