    @dustman try a Superleggera with am aftermarket sports exhaust. I think it might tick all your boxes as a keeper? ;)
    And don't even think of buying a turbocharged car again, you're stirring up emotions here man :)

    That is precisely what generates the sensation of blistering speed and excitement. Not only is the 765 objectively massively fast, the elevated ferocity of the sound, the vibrations of the chassis and the intimate connectivity between car and driver all combine to create a driving experience of unparalleled exhilaration.

    Classifying the sound as " meh" is surprising. Not only is it loud and angry, there are a series of unpredictable pops and bangs that are generated by heavy throttle response and by upshifting and downshifting. Listening to music or carrying on a normal conversation whether on the phone or with a passenger can be tiresome.

    There is quite a bit of noise in the cabin, this is true (when the car is pushed hard). I would not say it has anywhere near a symphony however. But you are right, plenty of different noises. Reminds me of the Nissan GTR that had a bunch of mechanical sounds but just not good exhaust sounds.
    No faulting the car though.

    What you hear as “noise” is a “symphony” to others.

    Agreed.
    And that's why ferrari will still sell every one of the turbo or elec cars and suv's they can make.

    F8 and STO for me is the perfect duo before 2025 pure electric sports cars( harkens to the slot car days, and re-learning a thing a two)

    I attended my dealers STO preview earlier today and wow the STO is quite is stunning in person especially in the matte red. There's so many details that don't show up in pictures like the overall width and the sharp lines.

    Also pictures don't do the front bumper and lower spoiler justice because the lower spoiler actually extends out which gives it a more aggressive look and the interior feels special with the carbon door panels and the interior carbon trim. I was told that carbon skin is no longer available or put on hold which sucks for anyone that ordered it because it does look good.

    Overall I'm very happy with the STO now I just have to wait until my STO arrives which was suppose to be next month but I might have to wait until Sept. :(

    That thing looks mental. I've never pictured myself driving a Lambo, but man the 15 year old in me is loving that car.

    Just checked the app and it says my car is also in production. Mine is an October build so not sure how accurate the app is.

    Received my update and VIN, my car is scheduled for July build. I downloaded the various video clips from the app, I'll convert them and upload them later.

    did lambo give up on the performante aero system that had flaps open and close depending on downforce, drag, turning, etc? seemed like great idea at time but nothing seems to have come from it.

    Did seem weird at the time but held ring record too. If don't trust that, how can you trust sto?
