Seriously considering ......
Hi guys, coming from a 458 i'm seriously considering the huracan now...just some advice from u guys. Does anyone know if the ground clearance of the H is lower than 458 since F cars now r rather high but seems the 458's front bumper is longer than the H..? This has been a huge concern of mine. I drive my 458 pretty much daily so will b my possible H..i don't even need a lifter in my 458 not afraid of carparks or whatsoever...........

frontal lifting system and Magneto Rheological suspension is an option for H car. It will give u that extra height to drive over regular speed bumps.

I had a 458 and with no lifter and it was fine over speed bumps, etc. Huracan is lower at the front however the nose and front is smaller. I've not got the lifter on the huracan, i get my car this sunday so will let you know how it is over bumps

I must say ive never had a lifter on any of my cars, but the dealer highly recommended it,i live in Essex but at re sale time a lot of these cars end up in underground car parks in London....he did say it has put people off buying cars in the past if it didn't have one,i had it inconjunction with the magneto ride.

The sales manager said to me that he has done over 5k miles in there demo car and he said to me that he used the lifter once in all that time, its a lot of money for something you may never use

If you get the lift you can go over any speed bump guaranteed
Glad to see more F owners are choosing a true NA

We have already spent lots of money on this car, I think another 3-5k on the lifting system is really no big deal.. I mean it is true that we might only use it a few times a year, but it will prove its worth at critical junctures. IMO, The only reason for me not to purchase this option is that I only drive my H to the places where I am familiar with.

It is all good mate ! You mentioned that you did not buy the frontal lifting option for your car. You dare to drive in snow? The H will become a snow plower. In England, the snow precipitation may be very low, In Canada it is no no no! May be on a dry sunny winter day, I might take it out for a spin.
I took my R8 (winter tyres) out last week, the snow had been plowed away but the council workers had not spread salt over the road, still icy! As I was making a right turn (gingerly)at the speed of 25-30K/hour, the Car just spun out and rear left wheel hit the curb sideways, Thank god, the rim and exterior was intact, but the alignment was off about 5 degree to the left. The H car has much more horse power behind the wheels than an R8!! The accident really put winter-driving super sports cars into perspective for me.
