My First Lamborghini

[M2287]

Hi everyone, I picked up my lp560-4 the other day. Loving it so far!

Thanks everyone ... Its an e-gear, I’m probably the only person in the country who would rather e-gear over manual, I just love the paddles!

I was going to get this inspected but pulled the plug on the sale of my V12 vantage due on going investigation misfire.

I did see that one for sale, it’s miles away from me though. For some reason the 2008 registered LP-560’s seem to hang around for a bit. I have seen at least three 2010+ models sell in the last month.

Very nice, I am thinking about pushing button on an LP560-4 Spyder as a weekend toy shortly.

Very nice - I would thoroughly recommend!!!

Why do you think this is? Is it just a case of people avoiding the first year of any given model?

Hope you’re enjoying yours! I cancelled the sale of my V12 vantage but keep looking at the Shmoo ad

Yes I think alot of people are under the impression that the lp’s started from 2009 as there are a lot of 2008 pre lp cars out there. Personally I didn’t want an early LP, I’d rather one slightly newer that would definitely have any issues sorted on it. The 2008 cars all appear to still be for sale, there must be something putting people off them.

I have actually covered 1000 miles already, the weather has been so good it’s been hard not to take it out!!

The other day I installed a super trofeo exhaust

How do you find the Super Trofeo? I find the standard exhaust pretty good when the valves are open, would be nice to hear it a bit more lower down the rev range but also don't want anything too shouty. I was surprised how quiet the LP560 is when cruising, very civilised.

I was also very surprised and afew people actually commented on how civilized it was! The super trofeo is definitely louder but not obnoxious. I would 100% recommend it, I’d say it’s a 25% increase on loudness than stock which you especially notice when the valves would be closed.

Ha, I love the casual tone of this, did you manage to fit in a bit of neurosurgery in between times?



Brilliant stuff!

Haha I love a driveway build, rebuilt my old cl55 AMG engine on my drive and did loads of bits on my continental Gt and turbo r, My neighbours think I’m mental!!

The sound system in these is AWFUL, I don’t have my seat the whole way back and there was enough space to fit one of these Phoenix Gold active subs. I thought for £150 I may aswell give it a go… WOW this thing genuinely has some serious kick!! I would definitely recommend it for someone who isn’t a serious audiophile but just wants a bit more from their current set up.
