Ziggy:Crayphile, sorry for the off-topic but I was wondering, how is the repair of your FF coming along, especially with the 3-layer Rosso Fuoco paint?
Talk about spoiling the party ! .. just kidding. The repair should start next week once all the parts have arrived from Italy.
Enmanuel:Ziggy:Crayphile, sorry for the off-topic but I was wondering...
We don't apologize for that in this forum anymore, it is actually encouraged practice
Staying on topic is frowned upon here. It's the Rennteam equivalent of being un-American.
The one exception is, of course, the No Specific Topic thread.

J.Seven:crayphile:Enmanuel:crayphile:I was really taken by it at the SV reveal in Geneva this year and my coupe is coming in that colour.Wait wait, you're getting the SV in coupe and roadster?
Yes - but will only keep one long term I think
The roadster?
Yes most probably.

Aventador...Car Porn...indeed.
From a price/performance point of view, I would rather take the new Huracan LP580-2 though. Half the price, 80% of the fun, maybe even 90%.

BjoernB:0-300 with 24.1 - now if the new TTS really would do a 25.9 - I'd rather have a TTS
We need to be careful with comparing performance numbers achieved by different magazines/sources.
The facelifted 991.2 Turbo S is certainly not a slow car but I would still want the Aventador for it's looks, goosebumps creating drive feel and sound and of course because the 991.2 Turbo S won't be much more exciting than the 991.1 Turbo S and I gave away my Turbo S because I got bored.

Grant:That Corvette lap time sure stands out with respect to value!
The Corvette is an amazing sports car. If it had a nicer interior (especially the steering wheel looks awful), I would have considered one. Not really cheap though in Germany.

Lamborghini will only use twin-turbo V8 in the Urus
Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann recently confirmed the upcoming Urus will have a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine but if you were hoping to see the engine appear in the Huracan or Aventador you're probably out of luck.
In an interview with Autocar, Winkelmann said the company considered using the twin-turbo engine in additional models but eventually dismissed the idea because it conflicts with Lamborghini's philosophy of one car, one engine. He went on to say "On the supersports cars, we are convinced that the choices we have made with the naturally aspirated engines are still the right ones."
However, Winkelmann conceded future sports cars could eventually have turbocharged engines. As he explained, the company will stick with naturally aspirated V10 and V12 engines as long as nothing better comes along.
The engine's specifications are still under wraps but Lamborghini Research and Development director Maurizio Reggiani has previously said the twin-turbo V8 will be the "most powerful in the class" and is the "best choice" for the Urus as it is light and powerful with lots of low-end torque.
The Urus is slated to go on sale in 2018 and Lamborghini expects to sell about 3,000 units annually.

A turbo makes more sense in the Urus since it needs massive torque at lower rev figures as well.
Rumored power is 600-620 hp, Vmax around 305 kph.
