This trim, likely referring to the manual transmission option, offers an even more engaging and purist driving experience. The 560 hp V10 provides raw, unadulterated power, with slightly quicker acceleration to 100 km/h.

👎 NEGATIVE
>maintenance. It's a reality and I expected it but it's still depressing looking forward to the costs. While I can afford it, it's not chump change to me. I did buy the car knowing it will need a clutch soon based on the PPI, hopefully after that's done with I can just enjoy the scheduled annuals. Here's a tip. When buying most anything mechanical for the car, check the part against the equiv

👍 POSITIVE
Italian design stuffed with a German engine is a brilliant supercar choice.
👎 NEGATIVE
I need to get off social media or stop clicking on these threads. On one had, this is cool and I'm glad you get to live your dream. On the other hand I'm stuck where I'm at in life and will never be able to attain such a thing even with the best savings I could possibly manage.
😐 NEUTRAL
People don't understand how HARD it is to drive fast cars fast.
👎 NEGATIVE
The funny thing is just how easier to drive the LP560-4 is to drive compared to the older Lamborghini's. It could have encouraged the driver to get quite carried away and then wreck it!
