Completely shocked by that. But then I guess it was McLaren's first serial production car.🤔

Dude all Lambos are used as status cars regardless of what theyou were meant for, Hell there track versions are hardly ever taken to the track, All Lambos are performance cars, But most who buy them just buy them simply Because they are Lambos.

He'll ask someone what kind of car they'd buy if they were rich, They would prolly same "A Lamborghini " Then ask them which model, and there answer..................

Can't really take the big Lambo as a serious performance car when it boils its brakes after a few hard laps (they are already carbon ceramics). Happened both at Laguna seca and Imola.
I find it to be a car more for Justin Bieber or some Korean superstar.

i am sorry but for what its worth these two cars are fast and nice but for the cost and being who they are should be under 1;20 at the ring and at least beat the GTR and not a cutup to the GTR but the technology and names just dont suit the performaces on the track,especially the Aventador lambos flagship.Yes they are prettier but ZO6 performance for that money just doesnt do it for me.

Interestng battle. Difference in tested curb weight amounts to some 800 lbs (360-380 kg)! After a few dry laps the Mc would probably get the upper hand thanks to less tire degradation.

Achieved by Auto Zeitung, no LOL.

The 1/2 mile estimates are utter garbage though.
