£520 for DAB! biggrin

Seriously though, amazing looking but not for me (if I had the money.) Just a bit too conspicuous for my liking.

That could be the last non hybrid big V12 from Lambo. It should be celebrated at every turn. A simply wonderful machine that we should be thankful that exists in modern day EU climate change snowflake Europe.

Compared to an old 997 GT3 RS it's a bargain. Grab 'em whilst you can.

Think maybe it's the sheer size of the thing on UK roads. A car more suited to the wide roads of the US and Europe.
It is a big old hector but I cannot imagine a more exciting car to drive around mainland Europe or in the states in. Width wise these are massive but it just adds to the theatre of the car.

Am I being thick or is this the type of 'Garage door opener' that, if used, can get you a custodial sentence in this Country ?

1525kg dry...even supercars are heavy nowadays. frown
Countach LP5000QV is 1488kg so is it really that much heavier given the overall size increase?
That isn't bad at all in fairness, I've always imagined that a Supercar would be light though. I guess they have always thrown loads of power into them to offset their weight.

I would guess this with fluids and passengers will be over 1700kg and I personally class that as heavy. Obviously the car is still epically fast anyway.

Who am I to say a 450 brake 911 GTS is utter useless on the road because it has so much power... The Lambo is madness on wheels. Glorious madness though.

I love the Aventador but I feel like it’s too much for the road, I’ve seen a few in my Village...well 3 in the space of 5 years but the same ones here and there, and frankly, if I could afford one, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it, it’s just too big to enjoy and drive without stting myself when a lorry comes towards me or worrying about scraping the splitter etc as it’s so low.

I actually haven’t seen an F12/812 up close in person but I think I’d go for the Ferrari, it just looks like it’s easier to drive and more comfortable, it also looks more luxurious inside.

I think the a yellow Aventador Roadster could be the coolest/best looking car in the world...but I’d rather own and drive a Huracan.

This is the first Aventador I saw up close properly, what a machine. If I lived in Hollywood Hills or somewhere hot with clear mountain roads I can drive on at night, I’d have an Aventador over anything...but here in Surrey, where the roads are tight and bumpier than a homemade Gambian rally stage, I’d go for a Huracan if it had to be a Lamborghini.
