    I know that many owners especially with higher MSRPs will likely say 'no' to this, and that's fine - but just looking for one potential yes - are any 458 Speciale owners possibly interested in the Huracan I am listing? It's on the ground now:

    If not I'm happy to sell the Huracan and continue my shopping, just thought I'd check. Thanks for looking.

    Huracan hits 0-300 kmh as fast as F12, which is about 22-23 seconds.

    It is very very fast. In my impression it's quicker than the 650S and even more predictable.

    Huracan quicker than a 650s...? Lol!

    The only thing predictable is the huge amount of understeer! The huracan is such a terrible handling car if comparing to the precise agile 458

    Bro, it runs 0-300 in about 22 seconds. I doubt 650S could make it in 25 seconds.
    In 0-100 or 0-200, the 650S could be faster because of the boost, but over 200, the rpm stays high, no more boost, no more smile for 650S driver.

    I'm sorry, but how did u arrive at that? 650S with no boost above 200 kmh? It's not like the driver shifted to lowest possible gear above 200 kmh.

    Most turbocharged cars can do 0-200 very fast because of over boost at low rpm, but that can't be given all the time. Every time the rpm is reaching about 1,500 before red line, the boost is decreasing. I should say less boost instead of no-boost, though.

    You overestimate the Huracan greatly. It's nowhere nearly as fast as the F12 at higher speeds: Ferrari F12 Berlinetta vs Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 [42115170]
    Actually it is a 28+ sec car: Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 vs Lamborghini Aventador [51703867]

    Best of luck with the sale but from the dealers I've spoken to there is about a 6 month wait (some less) for a new at MSRP

    If it's true, what u just described happens at every gear and not just above 200 kmh.

    I do not think the Huracan can outrun the Speciale considering it only has 5 bhp more, but heavier + AWD losses let alone the 650S.

    I can confirm a 0-300KM/ in about 22sec. Already did it by myself with a top speed of 340km/h.

    huracan will drop in value like a rock, every dealership will get just about 25 cars before the end of the year.

    Bingo ..........but he might find a sucker, I mean fish, I mean customer :)
    $75,000 over sticker is freaking insane. Normally do not comment but could not help myself.

    Same in Montreal. Dealer has green one and an orange one sitting in the showroom, ready to go.
    Would not pay a premium for that, let alone a 75k premium or a trade for a Speciale.

    Huracan is a nice attempt by Lambo I just don't think its worth the kind of money they asking. I had an R8GT and loved the V10 but would not pay the premium for the Bull!

    Miami #1 market for Lambo; SoCal is #2

    I can get one this month, no premium, no wait. Not a prior owner either.
    I think in 3/4 years this will be a great car with 2wd, spider, less weight etc.

    I don't think you'll find any speciale owner willing to part with their car for a huracan.. If you do find one, you will be getting a great deal. You can't buy a new speciale without an allocation from what i been told and production is going to end very soon on them.. Huracan's will be everywhere very soon.. Most speciale's are around 350 new and are worth 75 over.... I don't see anyone trading a car with an msrp of 350 for one with an msrp of 275...

    Your car does look good though and I love the color... Go drive it and have fun..... It is an awesome car!!! I actually might order one myself....

    Speciale = high demand, low supply, hard as heck to get one NEW atm.

    Best of luck on ur trade tho. Should be a tough sell IMO.
