Aventador S I believe. That said I'm 32 and I couldn't climb in and out of that more than about once a month.

Nice, but you can save yourself a fortune and make your own just as good.

Very nice!

Title reminds me of an old joke:
"Wow, that's a really nice car, sir. I'd love to drive one of those..." I said.
He said, "Well, if you set goals, you're determined, and you work really hard and put in the long hours, then I can get an even better one next year."

While I absolutely love Lambo's I don't do scissor doors.

Had a 1992 Diablo for a bit 20 years ago, and while I loved driving the car, I was nervous as hell if it ever flipped over in an accident.

If I were a betting kind of guy, I would be that he will put it up for sale within a year.

The novelty wears pretty quick with exotics. especially after a shop visit combined with a few traffic tickets. While not arrest me red, it still screams "watch me" and while having not owned one of these, I have had a couple of Ferraris that had the same effect. I guess I was a slow learner in my youth.

Ha. Well, that's a darn good answer. Thanks for elaborating.

Fwiw, that's a lesson I hope to someday learn personally.

I sat in one of these in Dubai before I injured my back. It was a struggle getting in and out. I don't think I could get into it without popping a nerve now.

Tried to fit into a Lamborghini at Speed Vegas to take some laps. Knees against the steering wheel. Same with Ferrari.
Any fantasies about an exotic are gone for me no way I can fit into one.
Still love to look at them and hear them running on a track.

Looks like an Aventador SV. 740HP, all wheel drive, about $500,000 or so. One of 500 ever made.
