Cheers all!
Awesome motor, have already done 500 miles since Friday!
When I drove this car at Maranello last week, was 1st time I'd ever driven a Lambo.
It has taken the weekend for me to get used to the brakes and gearshift. Am now flatshifting in sport, with just the slightest lift.. this produces a lot smoother shift with no loss of pace.
Also cruising to a stop, am pulling both levers to shift to neutral.. then braking to gentle stop, instead of the mechanical clunk of the downshift.
The build quality inside is fantastic, all the alcantara panels and carbon trim are so solidly fitted.
That is the great thing about these new Lambos.. Beautiful Italian styling, with an epic soundtrack, all wrapped up with Teutonic build quality.
Once again.. awesome motor!

Have you got used to the carbon brakes yet?
Comming up for 8 months and I still plant my face in the windscreen sometimes!!

Rob,don't you find that if you get caught in neutral when the traffic in front unexpectedly starts to move, then grabbing a gear is even more clunky than it would have been if you'd changed down in the first place ? Or are you just selecting neutral when coming to a certain halt ?
A.
PS : You're not wrong. Awesome.
Yeah, need to anticipate traffic flow, can be quite tricky!
Also car seems centre of attraction at lights, so don't want to appear to be a numpty.
