I personally would feel less invincible in the 580 and internally would see it as the step down that it is - in both cost and performance. Interestingly Lambo sees it this way too. I wonder if they just need a message to "sell" it. For example I've owned several 911 and 911TT. A GT2 which is the 2wd version cost MORE than the awd version. Porsche actually invested in the 2wd car and made a concientious effort to price it at a premium.
You think too much about monetary value. While i'm pretty sure that the power difference of 30 HP is not noticeable, the way it's put down on the ground is different. The fact that 100% of power is sent to the rear wheels and also that the front axle is lighter because there is no front transmission are in my opinion the secrets behind the statement "more fun to drive". Cannot wait to drive one!
