The ridiculous comments about it being too heavy. rolleyes
A PH car post wouldn't be a PH car post if it didn't include a comment about it being too heavy ;-)

Obviously if they are giving them away, I'll take one, but its not really moving the game forwards from a styling perspective is it?

Countach, Diablo, Murcialago, and Aventador are all very unique (maybe less so with the latter)

This just looks like an Aventador / Hurracan mix, with a McLaren exhaust outlet location

Seems Lamborghini are designing the cars for the people who buy them these days rather than PH posters.
Will sell as many as they can make.

I bet it drives much better than an Aventador plus it brings improved pantomime cow noise. 9500 rpm outside Harrods!

Seriously I don't think anybody would buy an SF90 over this.
Q&A posts in quick succession wink

If I was a Lamborghini fan I don’t think I’d find this one objectionable. Lots of Lambo shapes and bits.

This or a 550 Maranello over anything from either brand since

Why are they ridiculous? Is weight now a good thing in a drivers car? Weight is a major reason these kind of cars don't really appeal that much to me anyway. That said 1800kg isn't crazy considering the power output.

This new Lambo looks great: why would anybody lust for a Bugatti or any other way too expensive hypercar?

If only Lamborghini would use their tech and skills to do an entry level A110 / Cayman-ish 2-seater.

Just because they can...

You answered your own question with your last sentence.
The simple fact is anybody who actually buys this car will highly likely not give a flying fk about the weight.
It is only the armchair critics that will probably never even see one that seem to, or possibly they are just trying to make themselves sound relevant.
Truthfully it is laughable. laugh

Then get criticised for diluting the brand....or charging £100k+ for a Cayman rival.

It's the same people who think all cars should be 1000kg, without realising most cars would be absolutely st if they were.

Dreadfully disappointed that Mansory, Liberty Walk, Novitec etc, are going to be unable to make it look more cluttered, with more bolt on widgets, than the factory built one.

Maybe they’ll start making cars look more simplified than the manufacturer.

Quite surprised by the relative lack of posts. A new top of the range Lamborghini comes around every 10 years or so, so this should be a major event and yet...

Can't help feeling that these hypercars have evolved past being relevant anymore to anyone other than those wanting to pose. They're too fast to be driven in anger on the road so are becoming irrelevant. I would actually prefer to own something like an Emira - it would just be more fun to drive.

And your opinion makes you relevant I suppose?

I answered my own question? I said the weight isn't crazy considering the power output. It's not particularly good either. The 765LT is based on a 6 year old car and weighs a smidge over 1300kg. Power can only mask weight up to a point. If I'm spending half a million on a car I want better than "not bad", no? People commenting about a car on a car comment site... god forbid, how laughable and ridiculous. Do you have one on order? I know a couple of people who will most likely work their way through each successive Revolto like they have most of the previous models and I can tell you neither of them care nearly as much as you seem to about any criticism. Welcome to the internet; people like different things to you, try not to take it personally.

The design seems a little "busy" from some angles...but who am I kidding? I'd buy one at the drop of a hat if I could. It's a wonderful thing, even better if they do a green one wink

Never have cars like this been closer to "quick" road cars - you could potentially get burnt off at the lights when a Tesla set to maximum attack comes along...

In the 90s when you had a Diablo (which weighed 1600kg, for those weight-haters saying it was better in the old days!) with 500 or 600hp (depending on model). A decent family car had what, 100hp? 120hp?
