Very very Nice,
Although in the money no object side of Lambos isnt the Aventador SV better in every way: looks, sounds, performance and possibly depreciation?
Plus the Aventador has scissor doors, worth £100k alone ;-)
You can get aftermarket scissor doors fitted to the Huracan for about £10-15k.Although in the money no object side of Lambos isnt the Aventador SV better in every way: looks, sounds, performance and possibly depreciation?

There’s a standard (if you can call it standard) Huracan in my area and the guy uses it daily and always has it in sports mode, blimey the noise is ferocious, from the V10 howl to the pops and bangs, can’t imagine how loud yours is!
As a dreamer like me, that’s one trick Ferrari are missing out on, the noise on the 488 is just nowhere near as good as the Lamborghinis !

Stunning and to of my ‘I wish...’ new car list right now.
The only thing I can’t quite. Get my head around (and this is after reading the same in the Lambo forums), is why are the sports buckets a ‘must have’? They are less comfortable (in fact anecdotally uncomfortable) and the “its a track car” just doesn’t wash for me when a seriously high percentage of these cars will never see a track, but be used on the road for trips like the OP mentions to Europe.
So why on earth spec (and does the market allegedly demand) the less comfortable seat? It makes no sense.
Small point, I know!
When I sell my body to science and order my Performante, I want the more comfortable seats as mine will never ever see a track, but it WILL see longer European road trips.

The sport seats on the HP are lighter and save weight and are fine for short, mid or long journeys. Think a lot of people who complain may have bad backs or legs or be on the portly side and prefer the comfort seats.The only thing I can’t quite.

£800+VAT for two floor mats. How can any company possibly make an honest profit from such conservative pricing?
I was about the post the same. Madness 
Paint, if you go ad personum can be arounfd 12K
The options list for these is eye watering for some stuff.
RE: The sports seats. Mine has them so I speak from experience unlike yipper
They are carbon fibre backed, look cool but they lack a lot of padding and they also only go forward and back so you can't adjust the back rest. In all honesty they are fine for a Sunday blast but I wouldn't want to do 100s of miles in them. Edited by Never you mind on Tuesday 30th January 07:20
Just a tad jealous
I think a car like that needs to be on track though, as much as I'm sure it's fun on the roads, you can't be anywhere near it's limits.
A drive across Europe is a different road experience though, just avoid the Stelvio...it's covered it people in lycra and there's much better roads out there.

When I sell my body to science and order my Performante, I want the more comfortable seats as mine will never ever see a track, but it WILL see longer European road trips. However, my main point was really about why the implication is that if you don't have the sports seats and opt for comfort, you may as well just throw the residual value of your LHP down the toilet. Seems daft to me to link comfort/usability to value in this instance.
I think the older you get, the more likely you are to have those ailments, mind. My S5 seats are fantastic, but the difference 3mm of adjustment makes, is the difference between comfort and 'why did I do so much road running in my youth' agonising right knee pain.
