The Lambo looked pretty darned composed, so I wonder what kind of magic they're performing with the suspension.

Awesome time! I saw they are estimating the base price at 350K. Has anyone else seen any other pricing?

If base price is $350k, that would be at least $50k cheaper than I thought.

The SV Aventatour 600 units ended up being ~$500K, I believe. I don't know the base cost, but, I'm guessing $350-$400K for the $250K Huracan would make sense. I was thinking $400K earlier today, but, this car is quicker than the SV.
Even more, just think of the bucks a Nurburgring time done well can bring in, several hundred million I believe and that's just for the special edition part of it (add the brand's kick!).

IE Bumpy narrow track with steel rails - ask Mero, and the Camaro team!

Even more ask the 911 teams!

Not surprising with all the ringers they send out to press.

This reminds me when I compared some of Mero's and Magnussen's segments and Sunday Mero was mostly faster. It turned out to be Magnussen's hyper fighting for traction and poor Star Track hyperspace looking resolution fooling some of us, but, not me.

And by the way I recall using the Mazda numbers and came up with an ACR in the fourties relatively speaking of course, I'm (we are) ready!

Anyway, if Lamborghini VW doesn't come up with back up clocking their idiots, or their customers are!

That was my point. The big power hybrids without AWD are unproven and probably really dangerous at limit, hence, mysteriously absent. Suckers goobled them up anyway.
Wait until these cars start having verifiable robotic limits! B.S. outs the window!

I'm sure being a factory prepped car isn't hurting it either. The Germans have been sending out ringers for years, as have the Italians. Sometimes you need a cheat ringer to beat American muscle.

Not on this track. We have no times for late model American muscle.

So maybe the bull on the Lambo emblem really stands for bullshit.....


For those snowed in this weekend, I'm sure the internet will provide a lot of great conspiracy theories to keep you entertained, lol.

Must have a ton of downforce, literally. It struggled badly at the 180 mph mark with 700hp.
