Had the 2012 r8 v10; the hurracan blows that car away in almost every way…even comfort IMO…and the a/c blows ice cold It was in the high 90’s in the afternoon at the track that day. Going from single clutch to dual clutch is a huge improvement. Gallardo clutches last anywhere between abt 5k miles and 30k on avg. at t replacement cost of 7k ish. I’m currently in a 07 Nera Gallardo….the Hurrcan is just a much better all-around car than the Gallardo…almost 10 years of technology improvements. Clutch wear on the hurracan is almost nonexistent now. No weird quirks like the older lambos…for instance in my gallardo you have to take the car out of sport mode for the front lift to work. In another 3-5 years this car is going to the top of my list, you’re just starting to see used ones dip under 200k.
I don’t’ know how much Lambo BH paid…the entire “production” is put on by Lambo corporate. I paid a tad over $1k….I bet lambo BH paid abt $1k per person? So $2k per person total? My guess is every dealer in the US contributes to some of the overhead costs of the corporate office as well. They travel across the US/Europe putting on different driving seminars/courses…costs range from $1k-abt $20k depending on which one. The dealers I’m sure contribute but it’s also a “soft” sales opportunity for them. Lambo BH is owned by O’Gara coach, and I know they have a couple lambo race teams.
I asked the corporate guys what they do with the demo cars (the demo cars are owned by lambo corporate)…he said they don’t’ sell them, but then a sales guy from Lambo BH said that’s not true…they do sell them. A friend confirmed that….there are a couple people who own the demo cars on the lambo forums. This particular track demo had 5 sessions throughout the weekend. I know lambo dallas was out there, but they had an afternoon session ( too hot, or I would have done that one) The instructor said the cars are very well maintained…each car has all fluids flushed after the weekend, and the car goes through a 200 point inspection. It comes down to price…but would you rather have a car that has 10k miles of track driving cared for by lambo race mechanics or a 3 year old 10k mile car by a stranger? Not to mention, if the cars were never titled, the warranty would start on the purchase date. The instructors are probably a bit biased, but they tout how bulletproof these new cars are now. The Gallardo has always been known as a very reliable exotic and the hurracan has taken that one step further. Based on what the instructors told me no one at the entry level track days are pushing these cars past a 6/7 out of 10.
