Woah that's a lot of gold chrome.

 

[LancerEvo7]

Gold Chrome looks terrible on GT5, but I like this.

 

[kikie]

Even pigeons like this car. and so do I.

 

[mattythedog]

Pass the sunglasses!

 

[MustangManiac]

Only $50K for gold plating an entire car? Must be some d*mn thin plate! Looks like the height of arrogance to me

 

[Beeblebrox237]

You know what? As much as I hate the ostentatiousness of that car, it looks awesome! I would love to have that car.

 

[RocZX]

I think it looks ugly.

In that article/vid it says the Lambo is gold plated in the unveiling vid the guy said it's has a gold foil on the car.

 

[E28]

That's beautiful...

Well, the car is. The gold-plating/wrap/whatever the hell it is is the opposite. Absolutely repulsive.

 

[Doog]

I think it looks good; it suits the Aventador's boisterous personality. 👍

I will tell you what would suit the Aventador's (and all of Lambo's) boisterous personality...some race wins. Until they can pull that off they will always be all show and no go for me, and second rate to Ferrari.

Gold Foil, how the h*ll are you supposed to wash it!

Yeah that would probably be helpful for its credibility. But then again, 700 horsepower is plenty of go for all of the show, as is all wheel drive....

 

[Joey D]

Doesn't matter, still a Lambo, I see nothing wrong.

 

[Coxis]

And here I thought it was tacky when GT5 players painted their cars in gold chrome...

 

[Kino321-X]

It would be here in Miami

If I ever head over to the beach, I'll look out for it. 👍

That's such a cute form of logic considering A) there have been race wins for the company B) the Aventador does not have a racing counter-part, yet & C) the factory from the beginning has never been fully interested in racing.

 

[88FoxBodyFan]

Ferruccio Lamborghini wanted his cars to be the best strictly road cars you could buy, and decided early on that there would be no factory backed racing Lamborghinis.

This is why there are no historical Lambo race cars. (Historical meaning 1960s and 1970s.)

 

[Crumpet]

You get this kind of thing in London all Summer. Usually on the ridiculously expensive cars the Arabs bring over to escape the heat of their homeland.

 

[PAPPACLART]

And what exactly is the point?

 

[Schwartz]

When I didn't think the Aventador could look worse than the train wreck it already is, Lamborghini managed to do it.

 

[Zenith]

Didn't you get the memo? A car isn't fast until you can build another car with completely different specifications to win a race.

And what exactly is the point?

What's the point of painting your car any color?

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Why would you do that to your car?

 

[MustangManiac]

Perhaps I can explain such logic to you:
Point A, Compare the number of wins at Porsche, Ferrari and Lambo. Need any further explaination?
Point B, Why not?
Point C, Most companies that want to sell you such a car feel justified in doing so given the racing heritage. Why buy a Lambo, what have they proven to anyone to justify the cost?
I simply wouldn't pay 250K+ for what is essentially a street legal race car unless it has proven itself on the track, others are free to do whatever they wish.

What logic here? Lamborghini didn't start building race cars for other series until the late 90's. How long has the other 2 been around building race cars?

Exactly. Fail logic.

Point B, Why not?

Because Reiter Engineering has not built one yet. Lamborghini has not built their own race cars since the Diablo GTR.

Point C, Most companies that want to sell you such a car feel justified in doing so given the racing heritage. Why buy a Lambo, what have they proven to anyone to justify the cost?

What such stupid reasoning. So you shouldn't even be bringing up Ferrari then to begin with since the only race car they fully support is Formula 1. And as you said most companies. So by reasoning, Lamborghini falls under the category of "Other" because they have no desire to sell a car that way. In case you haven't paid attention since the late 70's, Lamborghini sells cars based on an idea of intense, terrifying, & outlandish cars, something they have become known for. Nothing else.

And you'll never buy a Pagani, never buy a Koenigsegg, never buy a Bugatti? You're not explaining any logic, just borderline arrogance.

 

[HELLAFLUSH240SX]

I believe the Zonda R has the record at the Nurb, that counts for something.

None of those points have any bearing on Lamborghini being "all show, no go" nor being second rate to Ferrari...

 

[gorsad]

Looks like it's from GT5, was confused for a second or two.

 

[Zona]

That is horrible. I'd take a black on black lambo over that piece of 🤬 any day!

 

[MustangManiac]

No I would not buy a Pagani or a Koenigsegg, as for the Bugatti you may want to brush up on your history. They started racing with the Type 13 in 1910, the type 35 is one of the most successful race cars ever built with over 2000 wins to it's credit, they swept the Targa Florio 5 years running (1925-29) and took LaMans in 39.

Here is the deal, I wouldn't spend that kind of money for a race car that hasn't proven itself on the track. A concept that your feeble little mind seems incapable of grasping. Like I said, others may use their own criteria for making such decisions, these are mine and I couldn't care less if you agree, like or even understand them.

 

[eSZee]

Fine and dandy, problem is no one asked you what your criteria was, nor does it have anything to do with the thread. This thread is about people with stupid amounts of money, spending said money on stupid things they like. You're the one who brought up arrogance, racing and how it somehow validates a manufacturer and gives them credibility.
