New Huracan 580-2

Never having owned a Lamborghini, I thought I would order a Huracan 580-2. (Being an older person and a traditionalist, I wanted the rear-wheel-drive model and a plain Monoceros white.)

The car was completed in May and arrived at my dealer just two weeks ago. I like it, of course, especially the fact that it is very different from the Italia, which I've had for almost three years now.

Great color combination: white/grey

But what I like most on your car is that the wheels are not in black color! Perfect!

Many thanks, Jon, Nik, Nils, all. Im glad you like the car. The general preference here is AWD, but the lightness and handling of the RWD Gallardo Balboni always appealed to me. I wasn't able to get a Balboni though and so was pleased when Lamborghini introduced the 580-2. They say the 580-2 was engineered as a RWD at the outset, and isnt not a conversion as the Balboni, so thats a good thing, if true.

As I mentioned, I have a 458. The ordering process with the Ferrari in some ways was more interesting than with the Lamborghini, as Ferrari, at least here, offered more options, such as seats in the size you choose. Ferrari will write that they took and have posted photos of your car during production, which is quite a treat and which Lamborghini doesn't do. It took Ferrari six months from order to complete the car; Lamborghini took five months.

It is very interesting to see the Italia and the Huracan side by side. They are so different in approach. I was apprehensive that the view out would be turret-like, but I didnt experience that; so far, I have enjoyed the driving experience. The view to the rear is almost nil, so a rear cameras (not as good as on our Hondas) is necessary.

Its been raining hard here, so when the weather clears I hope to have a clearer impression of how it drives.

I’ll try to take a photo, Daries. But there are not a lot of cars.

Best,

Let me repost the following, as the original post appears to have appeared elsewhere!

Image Unavailable, Please Login As mentioned, the official Lamborghini magazine that just arrived in the mail from Sant’Agata, Italy, has an article on the modernist architect Le Corbusier. I found it amusing that I was reading the issue in the garage, where the Lamborghini is, and that the furniture we have there are Le Corbusier’s. He designed them exactly 90 years ago in 1928.
