I guess not. Not even read a hint in a mag.

Ford GT with McLaren-esque 3.5 litre turbo, Porsche and Ferrari same old.

Even Pagani came up with the Huy... Hyu... Hwr...Huayra adding turbo to a King Kong V12.

Will Sant'Agata Bolognese ever bother not being the fastest or most agile supercar for sale?

I guess not. An ode to NA. bow

It all depends how difficult it is to comply with emmission legislation for a manufacturer. Turbos are an effective solution as the combustion engine is more efficient when turbo-charged. I certainly hope that they will never go the Turbo route, but I'm sure it is inevitable that they will.

They might say NO but its inevitable with ever increasing legislation over CO2 etc...

Plug in hybrids will be the future

Huracan Performante is basically the fastest and most agile thing for sale right now I believe!

Have to agree with you on that one hence why a number of AVS orders have been switched in favour of the Performante.
AVS looks and sounds good but is a pig to drive with its antiquated single clutch and hefty weight

I can't see any reason why na can't be used. It just won't be in lower tax bands in the U.K. But since when should that matter on such a car? Not to mention the world is pretty big really and not all markets adhere to the UK or even EU legislation.

Shame that you haven't mentioned it in any of the numerous Aventador S threads you've posted on.

I'd love to hear more about it.

Turbocharging is inevitable isn't it? Now that Ferarri (& obviously McLarren) are all over it. Once it becomes the absolute norm in the class Lambo will break suit I rekon in the next 4-5 years

I recall they did display a Turbo Countach engine at the 1978? Geneva Motorshow, so they have extremely briefly been there before, when Hubert Hahne was involved.

Next Aventador replacement should be epic with a dual clutch. I think they will introduce a upgraded version of the v12 in 2018
