RE: Lamborghini Huracan Evo: Driven

I disagree. One is £140k. One is £200k.
Why would VAG have two similar cars in the same price bracket?
The fact they are stablemates precludes them being rivals.
The base Huracan used to be £155k. Why would VAG have two similar cars in the same price bracket?
The fact they are stablemates precludes them being rivals.
The "Evo" seems to have shifted it to be more 488/720S territory rather than 570s/R8

Lovely car, however who's continuing to sign off these hideous black-painted-with-machined-spoke wheels.
They're on everything these days, and ruin the aesthetics of the design of these cars (Aston Martin's range is plagued by them)
They just look like the disgusting multi-fit crap that gets added to knackered hatches adorned with Ripspeed stickers from a decade ago ..... or more recently the oversized ugliness that gets added by companies like Kahn (whatever happened to Mansory??)

king- Lujah !!! Someone agrees with me 
What happened to wheels looking like the beautiful intricate things they are !!
The design of a wheel makes or breaks a car aesthetically for me, and black wheels just guarantee a fail, however beautiful the actual design COULD look.
these part-polished offering are only marginally better.
They just look like aftermarket s

Three pages? Maybe take another look. Then check out how many 458 Speciales there are for sale, not to mention the GT3 RS.
Fair enough, last time I looked it had crept into 3 pages. Still 2 pages though.I'm not sure of the relevance of Speciales or GT3RSs to the question I posed regarding the Performante? I was merely asking the question, not criticising. This story/thread was about the Huracan Evo, hence my query specifically about the Performante, which as a collector, is a genuine one.
I sold my Speciale before it all started to go to pot (as I simply wasn't using it and have two other Ferraris which I preferred on the road) and have the cash sat in the bank earning bugger all %. I cant get excited about any new stuff but I have been eyeing up a Performante. I cant decide whether to go for it or wait and see what Ferrari announce later this year. I'm in no rush as I have plenty of cars to play with.
The Evo just complicated matters. Not so much because I fancy an Evo but because there will undoubtedly be an Evo Performante or such like. Then you start thinking, where does it end, and you're back to square one.

te to my eyes, every timeGreat car ruined by fugly wheels (e.g. this Lambo, and this aston below)
Relatively normal car made good by the right wheel
Look at how just-right Aston and Lambo have got it in the not-to-distant-past
The launch specifications are invariably the clean and attractive versions, before they are "improved" for facelift model uplifts

The original Gallardo is just like a fine wine - improves with every passing year
Yes indeed it does. Hard to believe its 16 years old this year. Has aged better than the 996 Turbo and 360 Modena it competed with.Similarly I think the Huracan is a pretty car that will age well and is under-rated. People complained about understeer but it didn't stop the original Huracan lapping the Top Gear track faster than either a MP4-12C or its bigger Aventador brother.
Still no carbon tub? seriously trying to sell this for another 4 years? No Lambo doors? I can get Hypercar doors on a McLaren for less, with a carbon tub. Thats a lot of cash for an R8 and i will always know im driving a "fake lambo", just stand next to one and look at all the gloss black at the bottom of the windscreen.
I will never buy watered down crap. Imo the whole idea of buying a Lambo is that its not anything else, this to me is a like a fake rolex.. The Aventadors awesome but this leaves me cold.
Still if they can sell enough of these and Urus, maybe they wont base the next Aventador on a Skoda..
