China is where the largest market is expected. Every peasant to have one... but only one to a family... like kids.


Lamborghini Unveils the Huracan

The luxury sports car maker took the wraps off the Huracan, the 200-miles-an-hour, carbon-fiber and aluminum successor to the Gallardo.

MILAN—Automobili Lamborghini SpA Friday took the wraps off the Huracan LP 610-4, the Italian auto maker’s carbon-fiber and aluminum successor to the Gallardo that will compete in the small and increasingly crowded market for luxury sports cars.

A unit of Volkswagen AG’s Audi brand in Germany, Lamborghini faces growing competition from its European peers eager to profit from the growing demand for these high-performance cars priced at €100,000 ($138,000) or more, and for which the biggest markets include the U.S. and China.

“Extreme (cars are) growing in volume and price,” said PwC Autofacts analyst Michael Gartside. “People want more exclusivity. Something others don’t have.”

The exclusivity of cars such as the Huracan promises to be enhanced as regulators in major markets demand lower carbon-dioxide emissions; as an increasing number of models in the mass market come equipped with smaller engines or battery-powered systems, a car such as the Huracan, with a 5.2 liter V-10 engine capable of top speeds of over 200 miles an hour, will become ever more exotic by comparison.

I can't fathom why people would want a car that goes 200 MPH. Last year some guy from I believe Salt Lake City, took one for a spin and in a matter of minutes all but destroyed it.

None, my days of peeling rubber and acting stupid on the road are long gone. I friend received a birthday present that paid for a lesson and then a chance to drive a NASCAR car on the track. I think he said he had it up to 90 or so and that was it for him.
