My i8s New StableMate / Big brother Huracan

Haven't made a post on here in a bit. So I just picked up my first Lamborghini to hang out with the i8 thought i'd post some images.

Also I just dropped the i8 off today. Its getting some new 22" Vossen Wheels new LC series 105T installed in gold, lowering springs, back out the blue around front & rear badges, new PZero tires for the new wheels. I'll upload a post of it when i get it back.

Not sure if I'm going to keep the i8 for to much longer though since I got the H..kind of seems like to much sitting here & then not having a more space-ish car as well. Maybe trade it in / sell for a G63 G-Wagon or Porsche Panamera IDK. Or i might just say forget it & keep it as I still love it its amazing.

Last pic is what I plan to wrap on the Huracan or similar to that anyway.

Congratulations! Beautiful looking machine! If there is anything I miss about the Lamborghini, it's their design, material and fit. In my opinion, they make one of the most attractive super car interiors.

But for me, I am just giddy about the i8, which is more adept in tackling the less forgiving road going environment for vehicles in the Bay Area, including but not limited to: parking garages with tight turn radius; unreasonably steep ramps and ultra high speed bumps; and the seemingly ubiquitous presence of excessively large potholes.

Best of luck on your trade-in decision.

Thanks a lot! Yeah I still love my i8 too i won't be getting rid of it just yet & not sure if I will at all really but I might for something with more room but I'm not sure. Also lamborghini has came a LONG way since the gallardo. You can put the huracan in strada mode automatic with the exhaust valve closed & it literally drives & feels like a normal..super low car. With the dual clutch & everything you could literally drive it daily...Not that anyone usually ever drives it that way haha..but you can!

Slap that thing into sport or corsa manual on & its like your in a fighter jet. Complete split personalities

She's gorgeous bro. Congrats on the new Bull. And you're absolutely right, the Huracan can be as soft as any sports car nowadays and completely insane when you want it to be. Dying to see your i8 with some more low and on wheels.

Thanks man! I will post on here as soon as I get her back I can't wait to see either. It should not take the shop to long to do these small mods but then again the shop is swamped with everyone trying to get their cars wrapped & modded in some way for the coming summer lol.
