my last sports car will be a porky GT3 RS.
clar;885732 said:PM sent. Relative performance is prob not the most important for the exact reason you mentioned. We are never gonna get anywhere near their max potential. It's the driving and ownership experience that is most important!

Niva;885790 said:Is it true that Lambo no longer has that many hand-made parts as before as compared to Ferrari? Given Audi's influence, they lost the italian touch? true?
Tanzy;885803 said:How much depre is that?
M3 depre in first year is already $100,000.
totoseow;885805 said:the engine is still built in italy. car is fully assembled in sant agatha. parts r QC by audi from all over the world. the lambo carbons r jointly developed with boeing. used in cars n the dreamliner now. if u lift up the car u can see fuel hoses n brake hoses stamped AUDI in the gallardos.
even for Fs...the electronics r moving more n more to borsch compared to previously solely magnetti maretti. also F n Ls do share some electronics from both companies.
its in the marketing. for eg. lambos will never go claim we hv the fastest 0-100 time...thats the F way of doing things cos F is in F1. lambos make 550 to 570....n they tell u 10hp difference. in fact its all the same ECU. same block. noo difference.
lambo's strategy is basiucally...fcuk care what u think..we do our cars this way....cos our ah seng clients dun give 2 hoots. n i think going fwd lambo is going to align more n moe with lightening their cars via revolutionary CF...
so to answer ur question.....italian car with german engineering? for me its a good thing...at least car doesnt break apart often. services like a german car...solid built..but still italian where it counts...in design and attitude.
clar;885814 said:Sounds like almost $300k in the first year! I din know M3 depreciates that much?
Tanzy;885823 said:$300k is some serious stuff. But it is for Lambo.
M3 almost no value already. It depres more than RS5 and C63, percentage wise.
I bought my M3 Individual coupe from Munich at $398k. Brand new list price now is $420k. Best offer from Munich is $300k if I trade in for M5, before overtrade. Some dealers only giving $280k or less. Horrible. My car less than a year old, nothing wrong. Still got new car smell.
Drive into coffin.
