The power band feels very similar to how the ride felt in the UA, however the UA is quicker but I could tell that Jarod had to work harder to keep it straight.
I was always a fan of the VT system seems like alot of Lambo traditionalists hated it when it first came out. Not to sound like a fan boi, but is there really anything not too like about the LP640?

Hmm, I don't like Lamborghini's branding strategy. I love my car, but there are tiny things. E-gear is amazing, more positive than negative, but there are a few negatives at very slow speeds. It can get jerky on hills at times. I love AWD and I'm thrilled with the sound and how comfortable the car is to drive. My car is having the engine pulled this week for some warranty work over a minor oil leak. There will be a tech session this coming Saturday so everyone can see my car in pieces. I will be making an announcement about that.

Does that make you nervous at all? I love looking at the cars in the service bay at Bellevue Lambo.

Not at all. Low production volume cars are always going to require more care and feeding. It's just a part of the experience. I'm photo documenting the work.

The reserve was never met on the UA. The highest bid was $794,990. So, the car is still available!

I don't know about it being worth $1M. I thought these were supposed to be selling for $~500k? Are they trying for a million because it's the one that set the world record?

Yes, there are a lot of collectors out there who want cars that have that kind of distinction. We've seen a few records in recent years, but in total, there aren't that many world record holders. I thought it would go for a million or more.

I agree V. The car would only go to a collector that wants the fastest cars in their collection. The truth is at a 550-650k msrp why would someone buy the used one for 1 million when they could get the color of their choice for almost half the price.

Large collectors are hard to satisfy and I bet right now they are trying to take advantage at some of the beautiful 275's and 330's that are 200k lower than they used to be. Possibly even a 20% discount on a Muira (that's for the Lambo guys)
