Aventador JOTA
Placed a deposit awhile back - SV Roadster is nothing short of excellent.
The JOTA will be the next level attended the URUS open house last night can't wait to see the JOTA.
Lamborghini rep attended it's nice to be included vs outside looking in - small company with lots of passion love the brand.

You should look to some of the vintage stuff too. With Polo Storica making progress, the older stuff is now being looked after and those values will rise. Will only do great things for the brands history and heritage.
Check out cars like a Diable SE, Countach Downdraft, ANY Miura, LM002, 350GT. Just to throw a little of the old stuff in the collection. Lamborghini has come A LONG way in the last decade but they had historically always been a bit ahead of the game.

Good company, great cars, but they need to really think about people that are taller than 6'. Had to get a refund on my Performante deposit because I literally could not fit in the car at only 6'-3". My eye level was looking at the upper window sill, head in full contact with the headliner with seat all the way down, and factory / dealer totally unwilling to come up with a good solution. I was told to go buy aftermarket seat rails. Sorry, not on a 350K car.

Lots of guys have gone with after market rails to keep the CF look others bought after market seats - Italians make the CF seats for smaller frame people and it's an odd seating position - go electric it's better than Aventador much stiffer solves the problems. You can always convert electric but theres no way to exchange the CF seats for electric.
In a Ferrari always get the non electric seats for more headroom - go figure.

6'2 went thru the seat debacle with the factory on the SV - carbon seats offer less head room than the electrics as they go lower over the rails vs carbon frame sits on the rails.

Right now looking at an F12, which I fit in.....no Lambo for me.
Even though they make amazing cars.

The CF sport seats on the Perf felt like torture devices. I'm not fat (really) at 6'-3 and 250 but I could not fit in the seats properly. What I find odd is that Lambo is a VW company, and I fit in any VW-Porsche product. Also, I am Italian and go to Italy often, and yet no love from the factory as to a proper seat.

Rumor has it JOTA broke the ring record.
The next one off will produce even more hp - Lamborghini for a little company is doing very big things.

No one knows production was told less than the SV - only so many months to produce before the next generation Aventador add SUV plus hyper car guessing factory is beyond loaded.
Best guess 300 coupes 300 roadsters - lot depends on how well the S sells as they only have so many tubs.

I was looking into the SVJ and was told this is going to be a 2 year production run, with the Aventador replacement coming in as a 2021 model. After learning this, I held off putting a deposit on the SVJ since more allocations will become available and possibly, Lamborghini will come out with a numbered final-edition for the Aventador in 2020?

Added a hold to the last available 1 of 10 Anniversary race cars but I may back off that.
Some say silly things about production until Monterey no one knows - attending the event and rumor is a special JOTA
hoping to get one but it depends what someone defines as special.Last pure NA V12 rear engine who else offers that in a roadster - even if there is a last hurrah which I doubt its going to be extremely limited.
Would have left your deposit at least until you hear some facts vs fiction - at the end of the day it's a car you will want to own.

I am in discussion with my dealer. Haven't decided on coupe or roadster yet.
Hate to lose money on cars nowadays, but I might do it for the Jota. The 918 VIP program has been good to me

I was always told 1000 and placed the deposit way back added a deposit for the hyper car 63 which has more deposits than production.
