was yesterday at the Lamborghini factory…..must say that the lambos are the supersportcar to have today….way moore beautiful then ferrari...the design is just much better...compliments RC you got a beast of a car, saw also for the first time a 992...the front is just toooo big….no 911 felling looks like a big porsche panamera
Thank you. You know what I think: The best combination would be the light weight construction of McLaren in combination with the n/a engines of the Huracan and Aventador. The Aventador has a huge handicap, that crappy gearbox. I still wonder why Lamborghini didn't have the balls to develop a new gearbox for the car and yes, it would have costed them a lot of money but for a car which costs over 400k, I think it would have been worth it. Just imagine the Aventador SVJ with a proper gearbox system on the Nordschleife...it would shave off at least 5-10 seconds from the record time.
VW Group did two major mistakes with the Huracán and Aventador:
1. They should have developed a proper carbon tub for both cars, similar to McLaren.
2. The Aventador needs a proper gearbox.
I've never been to Sant'Agata Bolognese but a couple of people I know have been there and all of them were impressed. Germans aren't easy to impress when it comes to car manufacturing but one of these people has been at the Lamborghini factory around 10 years ago and he says that it changed completely, very professional and advanced. It reminded him a lot of the Porsche factory in Zuffenhausen but still with that "taste" of a smaller production.
