Pop up headlights are difficult to get past pedestrian / car collision regulations.

Why?  Rules, regulations, and economics never make any difference on the Internet.  However, Lamborghini has enough expressed interest that all 112 units are spoken for, even before it was publicly announced.  

My understanding is they run afoul of the same regulations that now require a significant air space or crumple zone below the hood (bonnet) of front engine cars. If a pedestrian is struck by a car with pop up headlights presumably there’s more risk of injury. So you don’t see pop ups on street legal cars anymore. Too bad because I like the way they look, and would have been very fitting here.
