Aventador

[LG04]

Hi, I drove HR Owens Aventador this week for a few hours and I got to say it is unreal, just cant believe how quick it feels compared to a LP640,
Ride is very firm but everything feels solid in the car, I just have a little wait but it will seem longer now I have driven one,

What spec have you gone for?

[LG04]

I think this is all if it

Nero Pegasso
Black wheels
Orange brakes
Black leather orange stitch
Glass engine
Park sensors/ camera
Stereo
Multifunction and perforated wheel

Definitely. Ferrari have certainly responded with their 599 replacement, over 700bhp...that will be some showdown.

That spec sounds amazing too, i saw the white one in Lamborghini London last month, it was causing quite a stir.

sure, to quote from my original post :

too smooth, too quiet, too easy, too quick ( ! ), too little tactility, rawness, edge, character

i jumped into the sl after the aventador and it reminded me of jumping from a 2007 gallardo into a 430

Sadly this is all true, they have definatley lost something from the new car, its just too good if thats possible, makes it a little boring.

I think its fair to let me have a go in it first, you know just to make sure everything is in correct order for you, and dont worry i don't charge ill do it out of the kindness of my heart.

Seriously though nice car, how much wider is it than the murcielago? As i can imagine if your down london you might have to pre plan your journey there.

Now that is a great spec, especially black with orange, might have to pinch that combo myself. Keep hearing this "has no character, too easy, lacks feel etc etc" is it just the way moderen car manufactures like Mclaren and Lamborghini are going, the more nobs and whistles the better??? If its the case that not everyone whats this, Noble with their M600 has hit upon a great niche market!!
The looks of the Aventador will take (for me) some getting used to, but, if I was fortunate enough to find myself in that position of having one, I think I could get used to it enjoy!!!

Hmm I love the idea of a neice market.

Back on topic, I love the idea of an Aventador too. Black and orange sounds great.
