Lamborghini at Geneva Motorshow

Since 1964 the Geneva Motorshow has been the
main stage for Lamborghini to reveal their newest
creations and 2017 did not let us down.
Firstly, Lamborghini revealed to the world - the new ‘Aventador S’ which
has had a subtle but useful change to the exterior panels increasing
down force by a whopping 130%. Power has been increased by 40 horses
and they have added the amazing ‘4 Wheel steering’, which is a first for
Lamborghini.
4-wheel steering give’s the Aventador S extreme agility, handling and
coupled with their new LDVA (Lamborghini Active Vehicle Dynamics)
EGO mode gives it unprecedented driving dynamics. Fact.
Lamborghini also revealed the new Huracan Performante which recently
destroyed the lap record at the Nurburgring, battering the Porsche
918 by 5 seconds - with the help of Lamborghini’s new tricky active
aerodynamics ALA (Aerodynamic Lamborghini Active). The car on the
stand was finished in Matt Orange officially called ‘Arianco Anthaeus’
which is only available on the Performante at a cost of £11,000. The Matt
Orange really shows of the new ‘Forged Composite’ spoilers and was
complimented by the new bronze forged lightweight alloy wheels which
match the bronze engine rocker covers, which came from the legendary
30th Anniversary Lamborghini Diablo. Lamborghini also had the new
2-wheel drive Huracan Spyder LP580/2 finished in ‘Grigio Nimbus’
which nearly completes the Huracan family giving customers the widest
choice of variant’s available in this sector. There are now 5 variants of the
Huracan which will increase to 6 next year with the introduction of the
Performante Spyder.
Like the guys from Wirral Life, if you were lucky enough to have access to
the Lamborghini VIP area then you were in for a real treat, as there was a
stunning Huracan Performante finished in Grigio Titans (Matt Grey). As
you walked up the stairs to the VIP area this car immediately demanded
your awe. It got most customers reaching for their credit cards to place the
£12,000 deposit required to get them on the 12-month waiting list. Must
check those lotto numbers.
