I can only assume that you agree with the ridiculous opinion that it is too heavy...and probably want to see a manual option as well.
I realise I will probably have further rattled your cage now and also ruffled your feathers. tongue out

Can we take a minute to just pause and reflect that this thing has cup holders. For the first time. Ever.

The definition of an elegant Lamborghini to these eyes. What a car cloud9
Beautiful beast! The best Lambo's look like a heavyweight boxer in a good suit.

Now THAT is a Megacar! Good to see Lambo still have the balls in their design department.

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
I think that they have deliberately designed it that way, so that Lego can make an accurate model of it wink

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.
That's a great example of a circular argument. The buyers of a heavy car aren't worried about weight.

There are plenty of supercar buyers (not just armchair critics) for whom weight (or rather the lack of it) is a key criterion, and who choose to buy something other than a V12 Lamborghini for precisely that reason (often something British).

So yeah, sure this car will find a market at 1800kg, 1900kg, two tonnes. But that doesn't mean that it wouldn't find an even larger market if it was 1200 or 1300kg. The McLaren F1 and GMA T33 show how highly valued a lightweight car with a naturally aspirated V12 is.

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.
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?
Exactly right on all counts, and there's also the fact that the Lambo would have a hard time showing a clean pair of heels to a well driven very fast hatch like the RS3 or A45 on a twisty road, but all of this is irrelevant...it's a new Lamborghini with mad styling, garish colours and a naturally aspirated V12...and it's bloody brilliant cloud9

An omnishambles of acute angles and slashes. Brilliant.
Also love the strip club lighting for the engine.

It's the same people who think all cars should be 1000kg, without realising most cars would be absolutely st if they were.
Oh come on now, how can you say that this little beauty is absolutely st? biggrin

I think that response is categorised as 'projection'. Pretty transparent actually.

In any case being too heavy is a subjective thing. As you say those buying won't give a fig but many of us prefer our sport cars to be LIGHTER and thankfully there are plenty of choices for every budget. And yes some of those may come with a manual.

Is that hard for you to understand?

Reminds me of a toned down Veneno. Like the back, not the front. Does little for me but will look forward to hearing one if nothing else.

This will be a Lamborghini where successive eco versions will remove ever more of the janky stuff from the launch model such that the run-out model will be a distillation of the form rather than its corruption

Exactly what i was hoping they wouldnt do with the styling is exactly what they have gone ahead and done, they have taken a slightly redesigned Av front half and reversed it in to the rear half of a Hurucan. God that is pretty awful , especially from the rear . Yikes. Much prefer my old 6.2..
