Anyone think the 296 is now outgunned?

Thank you for your insight! You have a vast amount of behind the wheel experience in many cars.

Can you answer two things for me because I asked about this in a different thread. When I tracked the Pista, I felt it had a surprising amount of body roll. Does the 296 improve on that at all (if you have tracked the 296)?

Could you also compare the brakes of the Pista v 296 v 765LT? I did not get enough laps for the Pista to have brake fade (also the Pista was switched to steel pagids so they were not OEM carbons), but if you could compare the OEM brakes on all of them which do you prefer the most?

Thank you for your time, I really appreciate it.

 

They share nothing mechanically.

 

Try reading this

https://modernshifter.com/2024/09/28/audi-lamborghini/

 

This article is wrong on so many accounts. For example, Lamborghini incorporated all-wheel drive years before it was acquired by VW. The fact of the matter is that the Aventador has nothing in common mechanically with an Audi. The Huracan had a few thing, but that will change with the Temerrario. The Urus is indeed a Cayenne/Bentayga/Q8 brother from another father.

 

Ah so your first statement was incorrect . You admit that the Huracan had an Audi commonality . I think you should read some more to truly understand the Audi input to the tractor company !

 

Yours was incorrect, as we were always talking about the Aventador, as first mentioned by Jo Sta7! I was merely replying about that.

 

I think he was replying to me mentioning the Huracan platform. Regardless, the R8 and the Huracan are not the same car.

 

Having Audi DNA has made all Lamborghini's just that much better.

It should be a point of pride, not something to be tucked away like the crazy uncle at Thanksgiving.

 

Again read widely ( that means more than here ) and also think about this .

If so many articles were wrong about shared technology why doesn’t Lamborghini sue someone .

This mentions Aventador and like it or not tech is at the heart of todays vehicles.

oh and if you dismiss this as only minor think about what the computing power does in cars ,
Even down to the beloved exhaust note of many cars.

Audi and Lamborghini are joined at the hip, for better or worse

 

For clarification, are you saying the NVidia chip also controls the ECU? They use the same computer module for entertainment/nav as controlling the engine, transmission etc?

I don’t have an Audi or Lambo so don’t really care one way or another, just find that to be interesting.

 

Again someone who is mistaken on Hurscan below is a quote from the link provided

The Audi R8 (Type 4S) is the second generation of the R8 sports car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Audi. The Type 4S is based on the Lamborghini Huracán and shares its platform and engine.

and the link
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_R8_(Type_4S)

There is no debate as to the shared platform , the work is done at Audi , it is a like the current Aston road cars relying on AMG

 

Echoing the positive Huracan experience. My '18 Perf was the greatest car I have ever owned. Do not get me wrong, I do love my 296 more and more and more, it is epically fast. but the 296 has never once made me grin the way the Perf did.

 

This is only true about some models. The V12s have nothing to do with Audi, other than perhaps infotainment and suchlike. The V12s are designed and manufactured in Sant' Agata. The new Temerario too. Audi has nothing to do with those two. Regarding vehicle dynamics, all manufacturers buy control units from suppliers, such as Bosch and Magneti Marelli. I won't even engage in a conversation about infotainment and such trivial stuff.

Not really.

 

You might want to dig more. The Revuelto's front motors are built by Yasa (a British company, now owned by Mercedes-Benz), the rear electric motor is built by Graziano (an Italian company, which also builds transmissions), the battery is by LG (if I am not mistaken), built to Lamborghini's specs. Give it a rest already...

https://www.electrichybridvehicletechnology.com/features/feature-the-revuelto-lamborghinis-first-plug-in-hybrid.html

 

Ferrari batteries are made in Korea , Europe/ Nth America in general does not have automotive high power battery industry of any great scale . Asia is where it is at .

Yes a time for a rest given there is indisputable links between the two brands . Game , set ,match

 

These are all in your mind. There is no link between Audi and the Revuelto. Where is the link between Yasa, Graziano and Audi? These are all suppliers, that all manufacturers use. Ferrari uses Yasa traction motros and LG battery cells. I guess they are Audi's minnows too...

 

yet again incorrect
https://amp.kedglobal.com/newsAmp/ked202403270009

Ferrari have a sole battery supplier that is not LG and has been recognised by Ferrari as one of its best eight suppliers

https://eng.sk.com/news/sk-on-recognized-as-a-best-supplier-by-ferrari

Just do some research and it is marvellous what you find including who owns , designs and has interwoven brand co operation , contrary to what people like to think.

Have a wonderful evening

 

Who cares? Honestly.

 

Nobody cares except for Kc runner. Lambo owners don't care as they know their car is a Lambo. Next thing he will be arguing Ferrari is an Alfa Romeo or vice versa.

 

You are right that nobody cares except Lamborghini owners and those that like to stick to fact and accuracy . Have a great evening

 

Again wrong. I own a Lambo and I couldn't give a S..T. Whatever your problem is, is yours to deal with - nobody else cares. Just try not to annoy everyone here with whatever your gripe is with Lambo and just be happy with what you have.

 

Lambos are great. Ferraris are great. McLaren’s are great. Wtf are we even talking about here….

There are pros and cons to all of them but these are super cars. This is fun.

 

Which Lamborghini may I ask ?

 

STO. Amazing car. I put it right up there as one of the greats. It's a "keeper" as some put it and I have no plans of selling it any time soon. As someone said here, 296 is a great car but there's something about the Lambo that makes it more special to drive. Sounds incredible as well. More than enough power imo. It's been very reliable too. Only hope the 296 will be as reliable.
