Canada is bone dry. Nothing available until late 2022.

Dang, June of next year. That's a long wait.

Similar to the SV/SVJ, track focused but the STO is much more hardcore because it's lighter and RWD.

There's also a test drive event during car week and I believe Lamborghini will at a car week this year because the SJ and Countach hypercar will be shown at Quail.

You have to contact your dealer and arrange the drive and access to the Lamborghini house, some dealers will claim the event is full but that usually means they don't want to pay.

 

[Huracaan]

Event webpage is already set up? They usually have a page where the days and appointment times are listed

It'll probably be more restrictive this year because of COVID assuming the driving event is happening. The last I heard is the Lambo house is in the works but limited capacity but no word on the driving event.

 

[Huracaan]

Here's a life hack, if you want to see the SJ and Countach homage but don't want to spend $1k on a Quail tix for the unveiling just get access to the Lambo house via your dealer because both cars will be on display after the shows.

Just rumors at this point AFAIK.

Lol, living under a rock? The bloody CEO basically gave a timeline about Lambos hybridization/electrification plans a few weeks ago and when each model is been replaced.

The Huracan replacement is arriving in 2023 and will get a V8TT, it's confirmed. Will an EVO start appreciating in value short term, probably not but they won't be dropping in value seeing how some dealers now have orders well into 2022.

Quote from Topgear...

"On the Huracán I will not tell you now because it is a bit down the road.” Which is code for 'it won’t have a V10'. Smart money’s on an electrified version of the VW Group’s 4.0-litre V8."

The V10's future was dependent on Audi and Audi has all but pulled the plug on the engine. Lambo doesn't have the R&D to keep the V10 alive, they barely kept the V12 alive.

 

[Huracaan]

The super capacitor ended with the Sian, it's been stated in numerous articles and Reggiani made it clear the tech can't be implemented for mass production cars.

And we can't compare the V10 and V12. The V12 is the heart and soul of Lamborghini which is why the Lambo suits had to fight the VW board to keep it alive. The V10 on the other hand can and will be replaced and no one except for enthusiasts are going to care it's gone. The V8 will produce more HP, it'll have electrification and it'll meet displacement regulations/taxes in countries like China and India.

Btw, here's another quote from an Autoweek article from last month...

"Company insiders have suggested the Huracan’s replacement will lose that car’s equally charismatic V10 engine, but will instead use a twin-turbocharged V8. Both new cars are set to have electrically powered front axles instead of mechanical all-wheel drive, together with hybrid assistance for their mid-mounted internal combustion engines turning their rear axles."

I just texted and received a response from my SA/manager of the dealership and see his response below. As you see below, this applies only to new orders so if your order is in you will be fine. I knew the supply constraints were going to start impacting orders but heck I didn't expect it to occur this early in the MY2022 ordering cycle.

"Afternoon! The Sport Seat is currently on product restriction, meaning they are currently unable to have the Sport Seat produced, but only for new orders.
If you were to order the car today, Sport Seats would not be available to order until further notice. They will definitely be available again at some point."

Wow, first time I've heard Lambo running out of seats.

And I assume you guys are talking about the new sport seats and not the race seats?

 

[Huracaan]

speaking of SA...does anyone know if the Lamborghini Monterey Car Week test drive website is set up? I tried emailing my SA to get an invite to the Quail House and he just ignores me

I spoke with my SA last week and there's no information provided to dealers yet regarding the drive or the house.

 

[Huracaan]

It seems like a lot of people are opting for the new sport seats. I know most of the STO's are getting spec'd with the new sport seats, the race seats are standard but they're so uncomfortable.

 

[Huracaan]

So I spoke with my SA today and it seems like not only are the sport seats not availabe but some paints like Grigio Hati are no longer availabe and carbon skin is gone as well.

 

[Huracaan]

I doubt anyone will risk losing allocation because you might not be able to get another allocation for a well or ever.

I was told a lot of EVO RWD orders have the new sport seats and I don't think Lamborghini was expecting the seats to be so popular because it's still a pricey option. This was not the case when the race seat became available for the Huracan, no one got them.

 

[Huracaan]

First hybrid models arrive as MY24.
