So what the hell do I think about this car?

I like the design and think it looks great. It feels like someone at Lamborghini decided a restrained design might be the best route for this initial release model. I want to see more points, curves, and aero in next year’s model.  In a few iterations I want to see the equivalent of an Aventador 7″ in the air.  Maybe some obnoxious bumper action. What about Winch? KC LIGHTS? Mud flaps? At least an extra tire mounted on the trunk.

What’s the real story here?

The interior.  Oh, that interior.  Look at the 67-megapixel images in the gallery.  It’s insane, it might be a render, who knows.  All I do know is that it’s the choicest interior I’ve ever seen.  (I’m not a huge fan of Pagani interiors.  I’ve never been a huge fan of 1920s aircraft….)
