Icon10 ** new toy - 2015 lamborghini huracan alert ** (pics)

Well my friends, the day has FINALLY arrived. After a 7 month wait, my Bull has arrived. Landed at LAX from Italy (yes had it flown in), went to dealer (that's where these shots were taken) and loaded inside carrier yesterday headed to Austin. Should arrive at the house tomorrow

I've waited a long time so without further delay, my 2015 Lamborghini Huracan in Nero Noctis with Nero Ade interior.

More pics Sat once it arrives...please check back. It's going to be worth it--that I promise

Beautiful beast!!! Had a chance to test drive it and wow! One thing that catched me by surprise was how comfortable the strada mode was.

Congratulations! Enjoy.

Straight ballin.


Just one question if I may.

What do you do for a living? You buy a new car just about every two months.

I'm eagerly awaiting a scat pack shaker challenger I ordered three weeks ago and I'm going nuts waiting for it. If I ordered a Bull I'd probably die from losing too much sleep from massive excitement.

You're winning the game of life.
Would you consider buying a 2016 Ford GT?

This one completely tested my patience--never have I waited this long for car.

Cheers Bruno...just working hard for a living. And yes, I do have a car sickness, but the good news is I also have a watch sickness, so equal opportunity across the board.

As to GT, probably not, but I hope a friend does so I can drive it

It will be interesting once I get 500+ miles on Lambo.

Obviously Huracan is an exotic and GT3 is a sports/track car. However, each has it's strengths.

What I did find interesting, many think Huracan is a straight line number car (0-60 in 2.5 seconds), but when you look at it on the track times as noted here at Willow, it's a beast on the track with mind blowing numbers--well above GT3.

Congrats Paul! A friend recently got one, and I must say I was very impressed. The 458 has always been on my radar, but after seeing this...just wow!

Awesome Paul, it's easy to see why you'd be so excited!!

Apart from the fantastic body lines on the Huracan, I love the new wheel design also... Wide open to show those big brake disks and calipers!

Enjoy.

I agree. I decided between three cars: McLaren 650s, 458 and Huracan. 650 is a depreciation time bomb (a buddy just dumped his and lost $75K in 4 months), 458--well it's a Ferrari, but everyone I know that owns one has issues (interior, engine and exterior), plus 488 is coming out, so 458 is 'old' now (and the market on them is showing that). Huracan filled the perfect fit, fast, sexy as hell, latest technology on inside (12.5" TFT screen is killer), engine is nothing but perfect, Italian company with German underpinning--can't ask for more...at least in my mind.

Huracan makes a lot of sense like what you were saying about the 458 and 650S. Congrats, again!
