That's going to "blow" the competition away.
Still not entirely sure about the rear and C pillar treatment and the more I look at the front it looks more Catfish than shark like

Had a go in the Huracan on Monday. Fast and light years ahead of a Gallardo but ultimately a tame & soulless experience. The Aventador ... now that's a car!

First ever post, top man.... Welcome..... Do tell more.... Driven on streets or track? Anything disabled? From what I've read it is meant to be 'useable' at mundane speeds.

Great looking car.....some reports hint at souless....piped cabin synthetic engine noise is worrying, I mean why bother with a NA V10....if so may have to go 458 instead.....biggrin:

I drove it at Goodwood (10 laps)on Tues and it is excellent; light, direct and fast however the Aventador (10 laps same day)made it feel much more "modern / digital" than I was expecting.

Overall I think the Huracan is going to develop over the coming years into one of the best cars around once Lambo do their magic with special editions.

I think all the latest cars, 458, MP4 12 C etc..... are soulless TBH. They are all becoming so damn good, refined and fast that the sense of fun is completely gone unless you are doing insane speeds.

The last of the normally aspirated V10 Gallardo's and V8 Ferrari's are is going to be where its at with a happy medium between performance and FUN

What is the difference between the last of the V10 G's and the earlier one's based on a FUN factor? stop spouting nonsense.

Assume it's a press car as told no one is able to get the glass engine cover yet apparantly, as not certified.

That doesn't really make sense. What you are saying is the Huracan is soulless because it is better which in your estimation means less fun. But then LP cars are more fun because they are better (ergo more soulless) than the earlier Gs ??

No, there is always a point in a product line when its reaches its optimal point. IMHO that's the LP Gallardo. Faster and better than earlier versions but not to the extent that it is too darn good and losing the rawness. All new cars are so refined now its getting boring. Who needs heated scarfs and steering wheels and what does it add to the driving experience

The 458 is debateable because its is so good and has more soul than say a MP4 12C but I definitely think Ferrari got it right with the 458 speciale. I only hope they make a speciale spider and give me a couple of years to save up for it
