IMO, Lambo don't do enough to generate interest and secure new customers.

Limited editions are a lazy method of stimulating sales and for sure they don't bring new customers, since they are typically gifted to the loyal existing base, for fear of losing them.

What did they produce? 6000 cars in 2018, with the majority being the limited production Performante, limited production translating to we'll produce them for 2-years until the model ends and we switch to Evo.

Ferrari produce more units, which the market eats up, yet they have chosen to prioritise new customers with F8, while rewarding existing with Pista.

Its a tough old game to shift supercars these days smile

Well guys my dealer showed me the STO PDF sent out to dealers and all I can say is WOW that car is stunning. So here's a few things I can share, I did snap some pictures of the PDF but for obvious reasons I can't post them.

-It was suppose to be shown next month at Quail but pushed back until Nov.
-It won't be number limited, production limited like the Performante but allocation might be tight.
-The rear bonnet looks like the SVJ and you have to remove it like the SVJ.
-Door panels, front/rear fascias, rear bonnet and louvres and vents will all be carbon. Not forged carbon.
-Will have an advance braking system, lifted from the racing cars.
-Will have the large rear wing like the race car, also in carbon fibre.

Honestly it's the Lamborghini to own and hold forever, it's absolutely insane. I also found out that there's a new entry level mode in the works, not sure when it'll come out and no idea what platform it's going to be based on or what it'll look like. There's also a very exclusive limited edition in the works not based on the Aventador and Huracan.

As for the new entry level, I’ve seen somewhere a car very reminiscent of a muira and it looked stunning! I’m sure Lamborghini posted it on their Facebook over the last few months

Yup smile

In regards to the roof scoop...I didn't see it in the PDF unless it was on a page I didn't get to see. In one snap I took of the PDF there is a picture of the rear of the car but no hood scoop like shown in the spyshot. I wonder if it'll be an option.

Also forgot to add the STO will have racing wheels, racing seat belts and roll bar.

Was there any talk of pricing? Or did they just want the deposit and will tell you about that later!

No pricing info but I can see it priced around 300k with options.

Right now there's mix signals from HQ on how limited this car will be. Initially I was told it would be number limited, that changed to the STO would be like the HP, limited by production year and anyone could order one.Now I'm hearing it'll be allocation limited similar to the AMG GTR Black Series.

I'm basically on the list to get one, it'll be my 7th Lamborghini so I get allocation for any Lambo but bit wary about losing a boatload of money like I have with the SVJ so we'll see how many STO's they produce.

Sounds Epic.

I have BU11 STO plate on retention that would suit it biggrin

Cant wait to see some pictures of it. Hope they have went all out!
