He's sleeping (or partying) now, so I'll answer for him. Judging by the terrain, which is familiar to me, HK, China, or Taiwan. Or just China, if you ask Beijing. 😏

I drove an Huracan the other day at my local dealership. Straight line, much faster, but the feeling of speed is absent. I was going 60 before i even blinked and didn't realize. Its odd because in a Scuderia or a Carrera GT you are fully aware that you are getting there. Also, the whole huracan experience feels manufactured... the engine pop on downshift sounds thin, kind of like popping shipping bubbles. Its a nice car though, easily could be a daily driver in Strada mode but as a hard core super car people would feel lacking... if they have driven a GT3, Scud, Speciale, etc.

Hahaha, Taiwan la.
3 doesn't feel fast in a straight line, it actually feels very slow like ur waiting for stuff to happen while u have the throttle fully depressed. But up the twistys the huracan won't be able to keep up after 2 corners.

It sounds like the Huracan has gone more towards the Porsche Turbo personality but with only 2 seats. Now- I said sounds like that but would be interested on others' impressions, as well.

But - I love the Lambos styling. Just a very gregarious but gorgeous car to look at. One day I would like one. Have always liked the styling since a little kid. I like the styling more than the Ferrari but that is a personal preference.

I really do hate the rear end of the Huracan... And the wheels also do look bulky and heavy. I prefer the looks of Gallardo for sure!
