Nice video!

I notice the engine temp doesn't move, fixed around the 85c mark. Fuel drops by 25%, so roughly 5.5mpg for that 3.2mile blast

No-one buying any of these 'ring specials are going to get anywhere near the level of skill as this driver, but just goes to show that you dont need to spend millions to buy a car with batteries in order to operate at a super high level. the balance looks amazing and the power delivery is sublime.

I'd love to have a drive in that thing

I was watching two days ago Russian Huracane cooled with ice cubes, very very fast.
I was actually checking Lambos recently to see what will take to own one instead of D4 S8 and Gallardo is the closest within the price range, but I'm not the biggest fan of exterior and interior reminds me too much D3 and D2, D3's AC unit and D2's radio.

I love Lambos and have always wanted one as well, ever since I drove this:



Gallardos are indeed to closest price point for entry, but its still a supercar with supercar running costs. Closest I think I could ever get is a well sorted Kit car Diablo but that defeats the purpose so wont go that route.

Euromillions win is what I need...

What a beauty and the rear end it's just gorgeous!

Kit cars are nice, but as you said it defeats the purpose. It's like putting S8 badges on a 3.0TDi

There are exceptions. I really fancy a Lister bell (Stratos Replica) which is a fifth of the price of the original, looks astounding, but has modern brakes/suspension and a great choice of Alfa or Ferrari engines that sound right!

One day!
