Deposit here too, with the same reservations. I may have learned my lesson on getting a first car though.

That would put it right on top of a high end Huracan. It will be interesting if they do that...

Won't the Huracan start just under $200k?

I was at the dealer this weekend. They conveyed that a well optioned Huracan will be in the $260,000-$280,000 range. It appears they are going in to the Ferrari 458 territory. I was surprised to hear that increase in pricing

My thought is after this GT3 deal the 960 will be perfect and over deliver

Interesting thread considering the new gt3 has yet to be proven.

Hopefully, just an erroneous reliance on a strict currency conversion from Euros (common mistake). Gallardo was under $200k for base model and if Huracan is more than a few % higher to begin, there will be massive requests for return of deposits. Who would pay more for a base Huracan than for a McLaren 650S?

That was my thought process but 610 ponies, NA engine, a little diet, and a redone suspension- could be quite interesting. But it also depends if you like Lamborghini styling. The McLaren is nice but I do like the lines better on the Lambo. Iwas never in love with the MP4. But that is all personal preference. "Different strokes for different folks".

The one good thing there are a lot of new models to look forward to over the next say 5-7 years

The 960 if they build it will be a 2017 model.

I wonder how many of us GT3 "buyers" have deposits on 960s...talk about a little flub having an influence on big purchases.

The Gallardo started at about $195k, but that was for the LP550-2, a RWD MT 550hp version that will likely never exist in the Huracan line-up. The Huracan is a successor to the LP560-4, which was more like $210-220k. But my understanding is the Huracan will have a lot more standard equipment (CCB and nav, for example), and start at ~$235k, with loaded cars being $250-260k. My comment about the 960 at $275-300k being on top of high end Huracan models is my expectation that there will eventually be a Huracan Superleggera of some sort right at that price point.

agreed, and you can bet there will be about a dozen iterations.
this car is targeted at the 458, just look at that hideous steering wheel.

The Huracan you want will cost 275k MSRP. Which is a lot of money. I wasn't blown away when seeing the car. Of course, I haven't driven it yet.
