Had a call from Lambo dealer where I bought my Urus seems like all Urus models and Huracans are now fully sold out and all allocations gone for the forseeable.

Got onto the subject of the Aventador replacement and deposits can be left for them, has anyone placed one as yet?
I am tempted for an early slot, given I could then easily run it for 6/12months and come out of it with break even / profit.

Limited info, although it can't be that far away from breaking cover.

Deposit paid.

Tried the STO, but despite the engine, gearbox, steering & noise it wasn’t for me. Two reasons 1. Couldn’t get in with a helmet, so couldn’t use it on track 2. If you can’t use a car like this on track you need have bigger balls than me to drive it on the road and not feel too self conscious.

Also drove 296GTB shortly afterwards and it blew me away, despite not liking the interior. Awesome car.

Hi - I put a deposit down over a year ago and am probably not the only one who did it then so not sure an early one is still on the table. Would be interested if anyone had heard anything about the powertrain as there have been conflicting rumours.

£30k deposit gets you in the queue. Reveal in Dec this year. V12 Hybrid. £500k with a good spec. Makes my S seem like a wee bargain!!

I've stuck in for one, I can't see them getting it wrong with this car.

Yes should be immense! Can't wait....in the mean time though I think the current Aventadors will rise being the last naturally aspirated V12 available from the stable.

You won't get a first year car, probably 2nd year maybe even longer. From what I was told is the UK will get limited allocations, the US of course will get bulk to the cars for the first 2 years.

I found the huracan bigger than the 296.

I’m a ferrari man deep down, however ever since the 458 theve all been let downs since leaving the Na engines behind…..

Ferrari have resolved this with the 296 GTB/GTS even though its only a V6 it sounds immense. Looking forward to their new V8s as Im sure they have sussed out the sound issues they had post 458

Not sure that’s strictly true, they do sound good in the cabin with some kind of piped noise but not great from the outside and I heard them at full blast on the Fiorano straight!!

Have to agree with W4NTED, heard/driven 296GTBs on road/track and they sound fantastic, didn't hear anyone else complaining about lack of aural stimulation either!

No, sorry, I disagree. Had a 296 for a couple of days on loan and just not blown away with the sound at all. Actually thought the 488 sounded better, but it is better than F8. Don’t know why they are trying to say it sounds like a mini V12- Just don’t hear it myself. No arguing with the performance and way it drives though.

I drove it over 2 days in Modena and Varano too on and off track. Sounded immense and everyone else there seemed to think so too. Still not a patch on my V12 Lambo though biggrin

Anyway, what I am trying to say is that getting a decent sound out of a Turbo engine can be sussed out so will be interesting to hear the Turbo’s Lambos.

I’m not convinced either, however sadly this is the way the industry’s going.

I reckon the aventador will be the one to have still over it’s replacement purely over the sound, because let’s face it, it looks bonkers as it is especially in some of its variants, but importantly it sounds just like a supercar should.. amazing, there’s no way the new one will sound similar

I suppose it depends whether you just like “a noise” or you like a real and authentic noise. Either way I was disappointed but I do run a Novitec on my 458 so pretty much everything else is going to be disappointing.

re the sound discussion - so the new V12 will be a turbo engine? I thought it would be a V12 hybrid, in which case sound should not be an issue / no worse than an Aventador with GPFs?

Not so sure Lamborghini will go out like that, I mean a Urus over the near identical RSQ8 is a hell of a lot noisier but then again maybe nearly all will be sold with a dealer fit exhaust option. Theres ways and means.

the replacement will sound good, lambo are aware of how important sound is for them

they are actually patenting some kind of 'accoustic' sound generator ready for their EV's too

Don’t you think that Ferrari realised this aswell though?

None of their offerings since have bettered or come close to the NA’s Unfortunately
