Considering a new Huracan coupe vs 19 i8 roadster
I’ve had my 16 white on black with laser lights i8 coupe for 29 months or so and am now cross shopping a 19 white huracan 580-2 coupe (I would need a second car for certain things) vs a 19 sophisto gray roadster (I would want a new color although white looks amazing on this car).
The Lamborghini will cost more than double to drive for two years...although I may get some money back if the market holds. Is it really worth it for the NA V10 and badge glory? Tough call....my childhood dream was to get a lambo. Ironically I would lose the lambo doors in this circumstance Last edited by Barago; 05-28-2019 at 12:18 PM.. |

I’d drive 5000-6000 miles total
Likely an oil change for a few Hundred and tires if I go nuts The huracan is 90% or something R8 they say. Not much cost on a brand new one the first 2 years w low miles Definitely not as comfortable or efficient |

I too moved on to the huracán- and now have both. (Came back to the i8)
There's a ton of irony involving the huracán. It's a blast to drive. However- it's also more stealth than the i8. I found myself more at ease and at peace driving the huracán/ then the i8 where most days it was a conversation starter and definitely "pestered" if you will (when I was in a bad mood) I'm sure the aventador is another beast (can't afford that yet haha)- but between the huracán and i8, look at it as a nice break from the "look at me" crowd (outside of cars&coffee crowd) but simply a beast to drive

SugarSkulls: I agree with you here....so dead on. The Huracan is def a HP beast but needs a bright color and wing to get close to the i8 batmobile attention. What color i8 did you get...same as your profile pic?
I haven’t made my decision just yet but I’m going to look at a few more cars tomorrow. The challenge for me is that I will want to drive it daily and the H 2wd is very and rougher with the non-dampering suspension. I also don’t want to pay another huge chunk of change for the spyder, while the i8 will be roofless and a much better deal. I might just lease the i8R and get an older Ferrari to play with/hold on to since they don’t depreciate- or save for the H spyder. And I also agree the aventador is the best of all worlds...but lots of apparent reliability issues. Last edited by Barago; 06-03-2019 at 02:43 AM.. |
