Re: Things I'd normally share with just EeePee

topped out at 188 mph... pretty impressive !

Re: Things I'd normally share with just EeePee

Five seconds is actually a huge chunk of time. Almost questionable. Porsche won't be happy.

Re: Things I'd normally share with just EeePee

And they've been sitting on this since 10/5/2016?

Looks pretty uneventful, almost as if he's driving an all wheel drive Audi… cough.

Doesnt Audi own Lamborghini, or something like that? Maybe the parent company is VW??

Re: Things I'd normally share with just EeePee

Volkswagen Auto Group.

VAG

Yes, is the answer. It's the "same" car with a different look and interior so they can add a premium price tag.

5 seconds is definitely a huge amount of time in racing and breaking records.

I'll take an "Audi" drive train any day if it's in a Lambo. The only Peeple (get it?) that complain about Audi parts on a Lamborghini are those that can't afford them.

Re: Things I'd normally share with just EeePee

Volkswagen Auto Group, huh? I wonder if it passes emissions!!

its kinda the same as taco bell and pizza hut sharing the same roof. it aint the same...

Re: Things I'd normally share with just EeePee

Except it's the same. Go ahead and look, Hoop. Lambos are Audis.

thats what im saying. i was using the fact that kfc/tacobell/pizza hut are all owned by the same company now and their 'food' really isnt like it was when they were seperate companies.

Who cares? Are you a tree hugger? VW isn't the only one doing that. Somebody in the EPA probably didn't get kickback to look the other way so the went after VW as payback.

We have a Pizza **** and Taco Bell right next to each other. They don't share a building or roof. In fact, I've never seen those two share a building. I have seen KFC and TB and share building. Maybe it's a regional thing. Our Taco Hell doesn't have a KFC. In fact, our Taco Hell was a KFC. I wish KFC was still there.

Parts bin engineering has been around for a long, long. And the sum of the parts are not always equal.

Different isn't bad. Lambo is as good as ever. They have become more civilized, but I wouldn't say that's a bad thing. My childhood dream, a Countach, is notorious for being a dream ruiner. They look pretty, but apparently are a POS to drive. Change isn't always bad.

Re: Things I'd normally share with just EeePee

So you've sat and drove both Audis? I meant Audi and Lambo. I haven't but I've read and watched plenty to know the Lambo is a dressed up Audi. Sum of the parts? It's an Audi. Look underneath. Look at the engine. Suspension. Drivetrain. Everything but the interior and sheet metal.

Re: Things I'd normally share with just EeePee

So it's a camouflaged Audi. A freeking FAST Audi. It holds the production car lap record at the track. How long until Porsche shows up with a 'works' 918 to grab the title back? I'll admit I don''t follow everything that goes on at that track but it's always been a historic place to start epic pissing contests between high-end manufacturers.
