Hi,

There are a few threads on the new Evo at the moment, however I don’t want to hi-jack anyone’s thread :-)

Considering the Evo is likely to be the last NA V8 in this Lamborghini range, do you think the Evo or the Performante would be a better buy from a depreciation point of view?

I can’t make my mind up on either one so i’m trying to weigh up all of the pros and cons, and depreciation is one of the factors.

Which do you think would be a more desirable car in 3 years time?

Thanks in advance for your help.

There are no new Performante’s available to order, so you would be looking at nearly new, vs. the Evo which is going to be more expensive (+£20k) than the current non-Performante Huracan model, but it will have a lot more standard kit.

So you may be looking at a similar price for your used Performante and your new Evo, maybe the Performante a few quid more, depending on how long you wait.

Lambo is going to sell a few Evos over the next 3 years - a lot more than the Performante with only 160 odd currently registered in the UK based on howmanyleft dot com. So over time there are going to be a lot more Evo’s on the road, so there won’t be the same exclusivity, assuming there are no more Performance variants released.

So the Evo is the “newer” model but the Performante more exclusive. Eventually the Performante will be the more valuable car based on exclusivity alone IMHO, but that may be more than 3 years off. Some people are suggesting it will reach Speciale status (and valuation) but I don’t know, I wouldn’t bank on it happening.

I’d go for the Performante (well I did) rather than wait for the Evo, neither is going to make you money after 3 years, but either will make you happy!

I can't see the Evo sounding as good as the Performante (at least out of the box).

+1.

Lamborghini marketing does a masterful job of selling the Evo as a "evolution of the Performante" but in reality it's not. The Evo is not only heavier but it has no ALA, it is not track focused and it doesn't have forged carbon or any carbon body parts like the Performante. The truth is the Evo is just a refreshed Huracan with a power bump, exterior refresh and a IPad looking touch screen. There will be a track focused variant of the Evo which is rumoured to be called the STS and it'll be a limited production car which comes out before the H is replaced which will be replaced in 2023.

Every market is different, in the UK the HP prices crashed but in other markets like the US the used HP market has held up strong. Personally once the dust settles and people realize the HP is done and there's not many cars around and they're stuck with a refresh H which they'll produce a ton of you will see HP prices get a bump and hold steady.

I'm not sure exactly why but I have a hunch the evo isn't going to sell that well

Don't forget there will also be an Evo Performante Variant as well, more than likely will be named super trofeo.

Expect it to arrive before the replacement H. It'll cost much more than the HP and it might be limited.

Huracan STO ... Super Trofeo Omologato limited edition that is actually limited, there are some pics of it in camo if you search and look carefully as it is easily mistaken for a performante, evo front and performante spoiler.

As always the evo will be a newer and better car in most areas over perfomante & i suspect quicker everywhere except on a racetrack, it probably won’t sell as well only because the market for all cars has cooled and performante was at its peak.

Better doesn’t always mean more desirable though, I have a soft spot for performante, just such a shame they didn’t offer it with proper weave carbon as it really ruins the looks for me and cheapens what could have been a great looking car.

I don't feel the the Evo will be that much better than the Performante to justify the price increase.

Completely hypothetically speaking then, if you were offered £25k off a brand new Huracan Perf, unreg'd, to go on a 19 plate, it's a steal, yeah?

It depends on why you are buying it.

A lot of people seem to think that the HP will hold it's value because it was believed that this would be the last special edition of the Huracan range, while the Evo is just a facelift of the standard Huracan... however that is not likely to be the case.

I have heard from Lamborghini (dealership), that there will be an Evo Performante as well.

Of course there will be, Lamborghini follow a pretty straight forward model cycle, why would anyone think there wouldn’t be a track version the facelift car? And special editions.

Think people were being told it could be the last NA model as newer cars were to be hybrid, although I personally can’t see that being a problem. Sound is the real issue.

Newer is by pretty much any benchmark better by anything quantifiable, if you prefer it is another matter

To answer the question I think the finance contrition for late performante’s was about £30k. It’s a great chunk off but it’s not a one off deal if it helps to work out where you are with it.

Yeah, buying it to drive it, really. Can't be arsed with values or anything, just don't want the floor to fall out the bottom like they did with my 720S. Bought the car anyway, Nero Helene, with Narvi bronze wheels. £243k list, £225k final. Roughly £20k off, I can live with that.

Cheers, can't wait to bring it home next week! Spec looks much more epic in person. Couldn't decide between this and verde mantis with black wheels, but the bronze wheels won it for me. Very cool. Interior is lovely with lots of yellow touches to complement the callipers. Coming from a McLaren, the noise this thing makes is a world apart. Awesome!

Wow, that is truly one of the nicest specced Performantes that I have seen.

Congrats, and the very best of luck with it.
