Too bad such an exciting car couldn't warrant a more exciting commentary. Guy was straight reading the script through the whole time.

+1

but forget him, what a beast. I think he actually put the car into perspective. He claimed it was not far off the Veyron, and actually looking at the stats it is true. Can't wait to see more reviews and laptimes.

You can see Audi's input in this car more so than any of the previous ones. Not only is it one of the quickest cars ever built but it looks to be no more difficult to drive than something with a third of it's power and it's build quality looks top notch and very Germany.

WOW!!!

I should be next to a Demo soon, a Dealer near me is going to get one by the end of the month.

He told me, for Cars and Coffee June they should be getting a White demo. I usually ride up with them. (I will take tons of pics, like always.)

This is what they took a couple months ago.

I'm pretty sure VAG wanted to make it apparent that this is the first Lamborghini since the company's takeover that has no Audi influence whatsoever. The only shared trait would be AWD. Speaking of, I would've actually liked a touch of Audi on the interior (not a huge fan of the chunky shapes even though it's consistent).

And this is supposed to be a Lamborghini?

Whatever, way too much new supercar news recently.
