Also the app has the contact number for Lamborghini assist if you’ve not saved it as a contact already.
Has anyone received their Performante model and if so, what was the time between real car delivery and model car receipt?

Is the replica a dealer thing or something from Lamborghini because I didn't get anything. No getting anything wouldn't surprise me if it was dealer arranged as my dealer is not that great but if it is something that comes from the factory I should probably follow it up.The model is a Lamborghini Italy thing, but delivered to the supplying dealer for them to pass on to the ultimate end (first) purchaser. If you bought a U.K. car, as first registered keeper, from a U.K. franchised dealer, they should get a model from Italy to the spec ordered. Not sure if you purchase a spec locked car as opposed to speccing yourself if that matters. If you buy a ‘demo’ or pre-reg, I don’t think you get it. If the dealer is saying they have not heard of it - that’s likely inaccurate and it may have accidentally fallen off the sales person’s desk on to eBay.

Here's mine. Maybe its a thing the dealer signs up to with Lamborghini and is optional
These look superb! Can’t wait for mine to turn up....Btw, see you’ve cancelled your 600LT, imo the Performante does everything and much much more for about the same price optioned up...
So, are you going for the Jota?

The Cancelled 600LT was never going to be a replacement for the Performante anyway. Its was to update my beloved 650S Spider and I can confirm another McLaren is now incoming. Something, bigger, LIMITED and better value for money than the 600LT despite being more money. Should be easy to work out but pics will follow in due course.Btw, see you’ve cancelled your 600LT, imo the Performante does everything and much much more for about the same price optioned up...

Jota is too big for me, I prefer smaller lighter and more nimble cars as a rule
If you didnt get one but still want one to match im sure you can purchase them straight from the manufacturer.

Im sure if you emailed, they would do it to your spec or your dealer maybe able to order etc

Only 300 spyders been produced and I was told maybe there's around 400 coupes total. My MY19 coupe is the only one my dealer is getting, thankfully I did some special ad personam touches and paint.
NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA—Picture a quartet of 2018 Lamborghini Huracán Performante Spyders, buzzing up a narrow mountain road in California’s wine country. That was the North American debut of this rarefied supercar convertible.
According to Alessandro Farmeschi, CEO of Lamborghini Automobili U.S., the company will produce fewer than 300 of these naturally aspirated V10 rockets, which offer 640 horsepower from 5.2 liters of displacement.
“We want to keep it exclusive,” Farmeschi says at a Silver Oak Cellars dinner last week. “It’s not good to flood the market.”
The Huracán Performante Spyder, featuring permanent all-wheel drive, will sell for $308,859, plus $3,695 for ocean delivery. If the buyer is in a hurry, air shipment will cost a heady $9,695. That compares to a standard Huracán Spyder for $262,000.
The Performante version adds 30 more horsepower and a zero to 62 mph speed of just 3.1 seconds. Top speed is just over 200 mph. Lamborghini expects about half of its Performante sales to be Spyders in the U.S., with sales concentrated in warm states such as California and Florida. Customers wanting to take their cars to the track will pick the coupe.
The car isn’t strictly a lightweight at 3,322 pounds, but the extensive use of carbon fiber means a weight reduction of 77 pounds over the original Huracán Spyder.
The Spyder doesn’t have “launch mode,” which holds the car in place until the engine is up to speed. “It doesn’t need it,” Lamborghini’s representative said. Indeed, stomping on the gas pedal will launch the car so fast it feels like you left your stomach back at the starting point.
With Sport mode selected, the Pirelli tires (on 20-inch rims) dig in, the engine pops and crackles like shotgun blasts, and the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic starts spooling through the gears. There are cars more expensive and faster than this one, but none more exciting to drive.
What’s impressive about the mid-engined Spyder is how well it stays on the road. Power in a straight line—the strength of muscle cars—is only half the battle. The Lamborghini always feels solidly planted, and corners with no noticeable body lean. It’s aided, Farmeschi explained, by active aerodynamics through its big carbon fiber rear wing. Opening and closing a flap will produce higher downforce on the inner wheel, which improves cornering and reduces the steering angle.
The downside of flat cornering is often a rough ride, but the Spyder didn’t exhibit that trait, even on the fairly rough pavement in northern California.
The Spyder’s cabin is stylish. Access is easy through the big doors, but the car is so low (with just a few inches of ground clearance) that the driver drops into it. The seats, otherwise comfortable and good at holding the driver in place, are up against the engine compartment and don’t have much back adjustment for tall people. Storage is also at a premium, with only a small “frunk” in front.
Controls are quite cool, from the red safety latch over the start-stop button and the wheel-mounted drive-mode selector (Strada, Sport, Corsa) to the generous helpings of black suede trim held together with red stitching.
The drive modes are useful. Strada (“road”) is for pottering around town, if that’s possible with such an extroverted sports car. Select Sport and the exhaust note deepens into a snarl, and the dual-clutch transmission snicks the car through the gears. Corsa (“race”) is for the track, and best experienced with ear protectors. There are paddle shifters on the column, but the automatic is very competent.
The tiny but well-padded canvas top will open or fully close in 17 seconds, at speeds of up to 30 mph. The car feels snug with it up, but hardly isolated from the road. Even without a roof, the car exhibited hardly any chassis flex, and creaks and groans were absent. The car has an infotainment system, but drivers will likely listen to the exhaust music instead.
The Spyder is not quite as “civilized” as the McLaren 720S recently sampled on the other coast. It’s harder to imagine using this high-performance GT every day. This Lamborghini is no commuter vehicle; it’s more like a reward after a hard day’s work.
“It’s hard work driving that thing,” one of my fellow journalists said. “It requires concentration.” He was beaming at the time.
