Pretty sure this was the same car I saw down at Thermal in March. Unless there is another one with this paint scheme.

Fun outing yesterday with a group of friends. Good times with some good people. Mostly Mclarens but we had a California, an 812 Superfast and a GT3 as well in the group.

I really like all these cars outside of the Aventador...which to me personally is not quite exciting or worth the plunge

wtf? congrats the first person on earth that states the Aventador in not exciting... I guess a 720s is much more exciting... when you sell them.

Do you own a 720?

Have you even driven one?

Have driven one.. and on the fence if I should buy one or not.. Love the car just not sure of resale, reliability, ect. I would say excitement also but wont go their. thinking of just holding out for the LT. This is in no way a hate for the 720s !!!

Car had only 88 miles on the odometer when this happened. I bet this is a new record. Otherwise it’s been amazing. Hopefully no more bad luck.
did you ever get an answer/update on this? that for sure is a huge buzzkill lol

Resale and reliability is on par with other cars in its class. If resale is the biggest concern buy one used or already on a lot for a discount. IMO there is nothing else out there that compares, my 2nd one (spider) comes in the next 2-3 weeks.

I just took delivery of my 812. variety is the spice of life, that being said some spices I do not find to my taste and the aventador'a ergonomics and handling don't inspire me...but the noise does for sure. an SV in a cool color at a big enough discount used could make sense.

having said that- I really think that the 675/600LT and an 'all arounder' like the 812, or a manual transmission 911, boxster spyder, or a 720 spider or something convertible really offer such different experiences that it makes sense why people like Sam or myself have various brands represented. different knives for different cuts.
