I can tell you that Huracans are EXTREMELY reliable.
Mechanically speaking, Huracans are nearly as reliable as Porsches. And are probable the most reliable exotics outside of Porsche. Keep in mind, this Huracan does have a lot of Audi hardware. Oh - it doesn't drive/feel/sound anything like the Audi - so don't worry about the "sullied bloodline" as that's simply a non-issue. The Audi R8 and Huracan share many parts but the Audi sounds boring, rides harsher than the HUracan, has super slow steering ratio compared to the HUracan, and feels "heavy" to drive/brake/change direction.
I haven't driven the Sterrato version. But the normal versions are AMAZING to drive. There is one big problem though. The blind spot is so big, that you have to speed up and slow down to see if something comes into the rear view mirrors. Don't even bother turning your head, you simply don't see anything out the side window nor the rear. Now, imagine you're in an emergency situation, you simply cannot change lanes. I also go to a family member's home often and this requires three lane changes to exit the highway (really poorly designed highway intersection) and this already irritates me in a normal sedan with reasonable blind spots. I would just be even more taxed in this car. The audio system on the base car is pretty bad. And I haven't really heard the upgraded audio system on the Huracan.
The Huracan's blind spot is much worse than the Ferrari 458's which itself is worse than the McLaren 650S/12C. But outside of the blind spot, the really small interior in its category, and the smallest trunk in its category I would argue it is the best in the category. It does have the biggest engine (5.2 liters) in the category too. The seats can be a little firm.
The Huracan has a true dry sump lubrication system, double wishbone suspension, and all the boxes checked for a great machine.
I highly advocate going to the Dark Side. Lord Vader to Luke Skywalker: "Son, come with me [to the Dark Side], it's the only way..."
I met my buddy that flew in from LA to buy a car and saw this..
I have to admit I’m not a Lambo guy but the Sterrato is something that has been on my mind. Anybody have any experience with this car? Or any huracan for reliability? The idea of an off road huracan is absolute lunacy. The dealership is really trying to p...

Order window has closed...
Order windows have closed. So you generally won't be able to get one in your specified color combination. But you can still get brand new ones on dealer lots. And I hear a lot of people are canceling their orders so there's a little bit of inventory out t...
Good info!
Yea I wouldn't buy brand new at this point. Lining up for next year would be in addition to the 911T. I saw this at a car show and it has been implanted in my brain. All these cars going hybrid assist, not for me. ...
I do believe I have time.
And if people are backing out of there build slots might be an opportunity for me to buy brand new or preowned at hopefully a little bit of a discount😉 I do think time is our friend on these but I could be wrong.
No. You don't have time.
The final cars are heading to production just a couple of months from now. And the final configuration is generally locked in about a month prior to production. So, if you want a new Huracan, your time is very limited. Possibly already elapsed. Lamborghin...
Currently, the cars don't depreciate very much. So I wouldn't rule out new.
Agreed - a naturally aspirated machine... This will likely be the final naturally aspirated mid-engined exotic car, Corvette Z06 not withstanding.
You're getting very sleepy!!!
On the count of three, you will always put extra emphasis on Patrick's advice! You will even advocate Patrick's advice to your wife!
I can certainly see that, it's a negative and a positive.
Reliability increased since it went under Audi ownership but yes you do get a lot of crossover.
I just saw one on the street....
within the last month. Haven't seen it before or since, definitely as unusual as a sports car gets. No idea what it's like first hand though....
I recommend the Morgan Plus Four CX-T
It won't save you much money over the Sterrato, but it's probably more fun, more capable off the path, and definitely less likely to elicit crude gestures from onlookers than a supercar. Best, Tim
The Morgan design just doesn't appeal to me.
It's a modern vintage where if I want vintage I would just buy the vintage. I'm sure it has it's fan base I'm just probably not in that desired age bracket to see it's appeal.
