Sant'Agata Claus arrived this Christmas!

Congrats! It looks stunning. I remember your other posts saying that you wanted a blk on blk car but i guess a bit of color from the orange calipers is good.
Do you want to paint the wheels blk or you want to get an aftermarket set of blk wheels?
Also it has the standard exhaust, correct?

Congrat ttbear! Finally here and she is beautiful

Hahahaha - thanks Seb. It's funny - you're not even in the same country, and yet you were one of the first to know of its existence

Thanks, all!

I am so far thrilled with the car, not so thrilled with the prospect of having to wait for at least three months to actually drive it.

Sorry - I forgot one line in the specs list - it does have the factory Sports exhaust/branding package (I have corrected my initial post to reflect this).

Driving impressions? Well, very few, as the sum total of my driving has been from the car transporter to our garage, then to the gas station to top off the tank for long-term storage (the gas station is all of two blocks away from our house ). From what I can gather thus far, comparing it to my beloved LP560, the steering is MUCH lighter - almost to the extent that I am wondering how much feedback there will be - this WAS on hard-packed snow, however. I couldn't find out anywhere, whether the power steering is hydraulic, or electric? I am assuming electric, as it really was SO light. I hope that when it comes to summer driving, there is much better weight and feedback.
The clutch take-up is AMAZING! The LP560 was streets ahead of the pre-LP clutch, and was actually very good, (contrary to what many people moan about, the LP was actually very good!). I never got out of second gear, but it seems like the gear changes will be very smooth.... perhaps too smooth. The one thing I did like about the LP was that especially in Corsa mode, redline shifts were VIOLENT. This is what a Lambo should be about - or this is what I thought a Lambo should be all about, and this leads me to my one potential concern for the Huracán - that it might be TOO civilized. I loved the raw nature of the LP, but onwards and upwards - I shall reserve judgement until I have had a chance to drive the H in anger, haha.
The Sports Exhaust is perfect, for me. Great volume, and not obnoxious at all. I feel that the Race Exhaust would be too much for me - the Sports Exhaust is loud when I want it to be, and I love the lift-throttle pops and crackles!!! I think that once I get to go hard with the car, the exhaust is going to sound something like what I would think a pending Apocalypse would be like, haha.

Hurricane, I am not a huge fan of black wheels on black cars (black wheels on GREY cars is another matter - LOVE that look), but I really like the 2016 Mimas wheels that are available in a titanium finish. I think I might look into getting these silver wheels redone in titanium. I like the style and weight of these wheels just fine, and will likely not go with aftermarket ones.


Thanks again everyone. I will update my thoughts regarding the car, once spring arrives - which, while only a few months away, is going to seems like EONS, now.......

Have a great weekend, everyone.
