Amazing car to say the least

Great car. The new styling has grown on me a lot.

Not a fan of Dan Prosser being Evo's new main video journalist.

Indeed the styling is much more refined and classy imo, subtle but yet not. The interior is also a step up

BMW269 · 08-17-2015, 05:04 PM

Really very ugly (proportions) and boring (styling) for a supercar.

TurboSid · 08-17-2015, 05:40 PM

610hp Quatro DCT @ 1/2 the cost of a Huracan.

I feel like they told themselves if they made it any more aggressive aesthetically then no one would buy the lambo.

DC-T · 08-17-2015, 06:07 PM

Similar controls, screen, and numerals as an Audi A4 TFSI. Which costs a percentage. Worried that if we take it apart we'll find parts of a VW Up!.

Miss me with it.

I think you mean $50k cheaper, not 1/2 the price. The r8 V10 plus runs about the $200k, the Huracan about $250k.

Really your comments are meaningless. Remind us why you bother to post on a German vehicle forum? I think a Lexus forum is looking for you

Gorgeous car. Never get tired of looking at it and that sound. I'd take it over anything out there

pikkagtr · 08-18-2015, 11:35 AM

I like this new Volkswagen beetle !
A little expensive though

kprocivic · 08-18-2015, 11:47 AM

After seeing a customer roll through in a huracan, give me the Lambo.

Amazing sound but what a complete waste of time to post a review of a super car on a dark track with a driver unfamiliar with the track and missing apexes by 30+ feet!

I'd flip this...but that's my preference.

lol, I could have guessed that from you!

Hear me well, the 911 is a phenomenal car, and I'd probably take a GT3 before any other cars, but as good as the 911TTS(the more natural competitor of the other two) is, the engine is lacking caractere compaired with the other two so that's why it sits in last place on my list. It's hard to compete against a V8TT and a N/A V10 with a turbo 6cyl when it comes to delivering exoticism.

I'm going by which is more fun to drive, which is most connected and the best drivers car. I also happen to find it best to look at.
