Upgrade from 458 to Aventador?

I don't own an Aventador. I've driven one. lovely!
I suggest you go test drive one and see what you think. Only you can decide if it's a yes or no.
Although the money side is important, you can't put a price on happiness. Besides, who buys a top end sports car on the cheap, or expecting it not to depreciate or cost some $$$ in servicing costs. No one. You only live once. Make it count.

I find that really interesting people don't take pics of the 458 I think its a beautiful car.

My 92 Fly yellow Diablo gets crazy attention, I can't take it anywhere without it getting filmed stopped or cameras out the window but thats probably why I don't drive it too much,I get pulled over right and left doing nothing wrong, one cop followed me and my wife to a local Walmart were we always go in the tire area lights flashing behind when we parked almost insisting it were a replica then his buddy show up soon after in another cop car lol. Instant Celebrity driving it, want friends take it around the block lol.


To the OP
I do miss the tossible lazer precision of the Ferraris and the high pitch wail at 9000 rpm gonna add another soon, get both if you can.

But the Lamborghinis don't have the issues w variators and headers and busted transmissions.

 

Something I recently paid attention to is the clutch. I was actually surprised to learn that the aventador got a single clutch. that begs the question: how is traffic driving when stuck at walking pace for 1 hours? nobody has given any feedback on that topic and city driving. I know that the point is not to drive in traffic but for those who actually use their car, they know it is unavoidable.

 

No doubt the single clutch is a disadvantage. I wish it had a double clutch like the Ferrari's dual set up.

The Adventador at very high throttle can bank the back. The factory has a fix that my dealership did for me. I no longer think it is a problem.

I think it is one of the most stunning cars you can buy today. I love the car.

I have found my 458 and my Adventador to be very reliable. The older Ferrari's and Lamborghini's has some service issues but in my view that is behind them now. Even in the early days the cars gave good service if driven aggressively but not beaten. The Corvettes by comparison are has reliable as an anvil and seem not to care if beaten.

The American car had issues in the past also they did not handle like European cars did. That has all changed. I think the C7 Corvette is as good as my 458 and the new Z/28 is better yet.

The only thing you will be upgrading with the AV, is the amount you pay for a car, and the amount you loose in depreciation every month.

 

You forgot looks, sound and performance. I didnt know 458's were appreciating these days. Ill need to look into that.
