If you like Lamborghinis

Nice little walk through the cars.

Great video and the audio in this is pretty good but they red/purple pants haven't aged well.

I've had the keys to a Miura S once.
I am just a tad tall in the torso for it.
Good thing I can't afford one I guess.

Aside from needing a neck bent position because of roof collision it was a really comfortable interior design.
With better exhaust mufflers it could almost be a GT.

Have not driven one but from an aesthetic standpoint the Diablo Roadster is the Lambo for me.
I'm sure the newest ones drive better, and I know they sound better.
Still, for an outrageous car maybe drives better isn't really better.
I'd for sure put up with its quirks and faults if I were given one.

Yellow, or purple please.

I’ve driven the Urus and new Huracan Evo, the Evo is on another level, I wish I had the money...but for the same money it would be a tough call over the 458 Italia

I’m not much of a Lambo fan but my son is. What 11 year old boy into cars isn’t, right?

For his 10th birthday I took him to the NY Auto Show and we saw a Miura. From 100’ away, I asked him if he knew what it was. He did. Said he owns one in his Forza garage on XBox.

Harry has owned Lamborghinis for a long time. I would encourage you to watch more of his videos, on those cars and on the many other cars that he owns. He’s quite the enthusiast and his videos are very well done. He’s currently rebuilding the engine out of his Espada, that’s worth a look to see how the original Lamborghini V12 motors were built. They are different from the Ferrari V12s of the same era and also the later Lamborghini V12s.

Jalopnik used to have fun enthusiast based articles.

When did it change?

That was cringe.

I find a lot of his stuff is now anti-enthusiast.

A lambo like that aside from not being yellow or purple is my dream lamborghini.

Based on that BS article, he writes down to the IQ of his audience.
And that's a deep hole.

It's interesting to compare his thoughts on those cars with mine, as we've owned some of the same cars. I was very interested in his first outing in an LP400, which was a bit of a revelation for him. Funny actually, after all of his years owning a later QV.

He's a real car nut, I'd like to meet him some day.
