We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

Completely ignoring the :: checks my notes:: 100% torque at fucking zero rpm.

Lambos have always been a poser car. Even Porsche requires some kinda demonstration of expertise for access to their higher end models.

Pretty sure Lamborghini took one look at BYD's three thousand horsepower supercar eating up the test track at 300 miles an hour and just quietly decided to pivot to "the feel".

Pretty sure you know nothing about the brand nor its drivers.

Lamborghini? The tractor company? Of course it was always about the feel.

It's just being heavily reinforced now that even the Volvo in my garage can quietly beat them to the next set of lights.

An electric/hybrid powertrain would have made them relevant again, and they could likely get by on style even if performance is a bit lacking.Sad that they're not choosing to do that.

Lambo has always been about the feel. You wanna flex? Show me an '80's Corolla! (This hate isn't directed at you as much as the car community as a whole)

How many of those BYDs will they sell, 6?

You say it like gate keeping is a good thing?

Manufacturers should sell products, not make their customers play games like begging for a little more gruel.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 12 hours ago

Counter point. Powerful race cars should be gate kept because dumb people with loads of money have killed people.

At least there's a solid experience with an old gallardo/murcie/diablo. Until someone comes up with something miles ahead of ioniq 5 N levels of simulation every ev will feel the same.

Also hard disagree on the Porsche part, they make a shitload of trim levels then try to make every single one feel exclusive as shit. And there are tons of people who buy GT3/RS for appearance reasons and then complain they're not comfortable, like buddy you're doing it backwards.
With Lambos you get the same baseline, and then they add a bit more power or 4 wheel drive on top for higher end models. Aventador J is powered by the same thing as a launch day Aventador for example.

hard disagree....

To each their own. All the love and respect to you homie.

Sorry to sound like a repeater but, hard disagree.

Please link some pro lambo/anti porsche articles. I promise I will read them and respond appropriately.
