I totally get what you are saying and objectively, you are absolutely right. But... I still love these! There’s something about them that’s just more special than the R8. If you want an amazing daily, get a turbo s. Otherwise, enjoy those special days and the noise. Oh and get a black one with no stripes 😀

[@keithjackson4985]

Are these things truly worth it? I love them from a far. All of the cars I've owned, have been mainstream, then modified. All have been very reliable. Some, very fast! If I were to go after one of these, would I be killed by 10grand a year in maintenance? Or a 458, or 488? They all seem so iffy, on what could go wrong! Forgive me, I should have watched the whole video first. Any company that wants to charge me a 100grand for a car and it lacks Civic standard equipment, I'm not buying! Thanks. I'll just keep my Supra. Intake and exhaust will be on it soon.

[@nickorette]

I drove an F8 and an EVO RWD back to back. The F8 is better damped, has better steering feel, more nimble, has more storage and was faster. But it was the EVO that stole my heart and the one I couldn't stop thinking about after. The naturally aspirated V10 transplanted from the Performante is breathtaking and truly makes the driving experience unforgettable. The EVO connects with you on an emotional level and doesn't let go. It was an EVO RWD Spyder that got my order. I'm a subscriber because I usually appreciate the honesty and viewpoints but I thought this review was way overly critical and was unfair on a number of points: Sport Seats: They angle at the lumbar, so if you like to angle the seats back without angling the bottom they will cause backpain. Angling the seat bottom to max and seat back as much as comfortable resolves any back issues. Alternatively they do offer comfort seats albeit with less leg room in spyder variants Too stiff: It was touched on briefly but going with the 19" wheels gives notable increase in sidewall and therefore compliance Shifts up at redline: Ferrari also does this in sport mode. (My F430 does anyways) Its not ergonomic/practical/cheap: It's a lambo... Competition: Not a fan of McLaren's for their turbo lag and agricultural exhaust note, Porsche Turbo is fast but boring. While R8 has similar components it is not nearly in the same state of tune or as engaging to drive. F8 as mentioned above is a better car on paper, but just doesn't offer the same emotional attachment Overall I felt that there was way too much emphasis on the negatives and not nearly enough on the positives. With manufacturers all downsizing, turbocharging, hybridizing, and electrifying, this is literally the end of the line for cars like these. Cars like this deserve to be celebrated while we still can enjoy them.

[@TerribleUsernameAmirite]

Very late reply, but I agree. This channel offers a lot of honest insight but sometimes it seems that the negative aspects, however minor, are way overblown.

[@scottcowan6798]

Sound reply and I completely agree. I’m also a subscriber and have owned my (almost) new lynx grey rwd on 20” rims for just over a month and 600miles covered. I used to own an F12 and a number of 911s in the past including 12 years of Lotus ownership in various guises. This rwd Huracan has so far given me a level of enjoyment reminiscent of my early Lotus days (probably because of the seating position and angle given I’m 6ft3) but with an added sense of occasion. This review is way too negative. Sorry James

[@andytaylor2321]

Out of about 20 auto journalists JM was the only one literally that had to comment about the lack of creature comforts etc. I ordered one and cannot wait to drive it. I have driven everything else including F8, have owned Mclaren have owned Porsche Turbo. My one hour spent in this evil rear wheel drive absolutely blew me away I ordered it and specked it the way I think it will suit me best, and the last thing I can guarantee you is that I will be nitpicking about creature comforts inside this car. This car has soul unlike 99% of the cars on the market today. Long live!

I'm just waiting for one of these companies to remove the steering wheel and replace it with a touchscreen. You know they'll bloody do it too.

[@jasonstruhl]

Jay, having just ordered an Evo RWD coupe you scared the crap out of me for a good while there. While I also considered an NSX and an F8/488 (and currently driving an Evora GT thanks in no small part to you) I wanted to mention the prices and decision making in case anyone else is contemplating a similar move. Here in the states most EVO colors that you'd want are $14K. I skipped that and went with the free Rosso Mars. While I share your proclivity for the even more Skittle like colors, this red being interesting enough and free allowed me to spec the comfort and electric seats (with Lumbar and heat that I think may have at least partially allayed your complaint), The Drivers+Lifestyle (Mag Ride, 3 years maintenance, carbon brakes, forged wheels at a discount, transparent bonnet, front lift), the better radio, and a really nice two tone beige and black interior (Terra Efire) with contrast stitch for price with delivery of $238,000. I actually had a deposit for an R8 RWD allocation (thanks to your video), but the model year 2022 changeover saw a new exhaust option thats a must have, higher general price, and no discounts due to supply. R8 resale being what it is, loosing the typical 5%+ discount on an order made it less appealing than ever. That put my R8 RWD at near as makes no difference around $70K less than my loaded EVO RWD build. On top of the R8, the Lambo offers the lift, mag ride, carbon brakes, and 3 years of maintenance that you either can't get or would have cost me even more on the Audi (further closing the price gap). Having had a 458, I adore Ferrari and would have jumped back in. But at least here in the across the pond, a conservatively equipped F8 Tributo (skipping all the senseless carbon BS) still easily gets well in the 300s. My build which is comparable to the EVO is about $320,000 and the way I actually would have wanted to order it puts it close to an even $100K more than the Lamborghini. True, the Ferrari comes with 4 more years or maintenance but otherwise thats at relative spec parity. Furthermore, even having a good relationship with my Ferrari dealer, the wait is about 1.5 yrs at the moment for an F8 Berlinetta, vs 4-6 months for the Lamborghini. With the secondhand market so insane at present, even 2018 488s are asking more than the brand new Lamborghini order (for that matter, used Huracan EVOs are asking $30K over MSRP for the impatient, and dealers are asking up to $50K over on inventory cars for the impatient. Thankfully true to their reputation, Lamborghini dealers are simply asking MSRP for orders). I also have to admit that I while I plan to keep and enjoy the car, the idea of total ownership cost of the F8 vs the Huracan can't help but bring up the last of the NA V10s vs another modern turbocharged mill. Now, I absolutely believe the 488/F8 engine is still incredibly special, but I think in the ethos of the 458s currently being so sought after, the EVO with the last of the NA V10s will likewise be of similar intrigue going forward. NSX is/was very tempting but I'm a child and the noise did it. Anyway Jay, thanks for the great insight and for being charismatic enough to make me stick around until the end of the video lest I wallow in despair for having purchased a car without your stamp of approval (no sarcasm intended). Having a car Clarskon, Metcalfe, JayEMM, and Harris approved means a lot to me. Oh and I as a quick aside, while the screen in the EVO is a pain in the ass, volume can be controlled in any window/at any time by simply touching the screen with two fingers and moving up and down. Still would prefer a button, but way less of a faff that way. Cheers.

[@theurbanegentleman4550]

I think you should feel good about your purchase. Having driven the F8, and what a beautiful, magnificent car it is, at the end of the day the Lambos V10 trumps all the niceties of the Ferrari (and I’m a Ferrari fanatic). As far as I’m concerned, Ferrari magic is truly found in their V12 models anyway which id take over the Aventador in a heartbeat

[@fabbas01]

I have an EVO RWD on order also. I’ve owned a Gen 2 R8 V10 plus and it’s a bit boring except the noises. Huracan just feels more raw and connected. R8 is definitely a better daily though. P.s I also own an Evora GT… 😂

I don't like black wheels. They always look cheap to me, like some chavvy kid has spray painted his wheels with a can of cheap paint. I also love the fact the center touch screen is covered in finger marks and the black plastic trim next to it is covered in dust. Blank switches at this price point is unforgivable, they should be removed entirely if you haven't ticked the box for that feature. You get blanked switches in a Fiesta not in an Italian sports car.

[@sparky4878]

Agree on the black wheels. Look cheap and make it harder to see the pattern of the alloy. Admittedly one of my cars has black alloys. Previous owner fitted them. I need to get around to having them painted, I like the wheel they chose just not the colour. If was a more common car I’d have looked for another example. I also hate touchscreens. Look cheap and naff.

Great review - and I agree with your comments about ultimate speed being largely irrelevant these days. You can only go so fast on public roads - not just in a straight line but around corners too. Most decent hot hatches will peddle down a twisty road as fast as a supercar because the opportunities for extended full-bore acceleration are almost non-existent, and the road-holding on modern tyres mean that both will happily scoot around corners far faster than it's safe to do. What really matters is how the car looks, feels, sounds and engages whilst doing it. It's great to hear that Lambo have made another spectacular drivers car - but a little frustrating to hear of so many silly/careless ergonomic and usability issues that could have been sorted with little to zero cost and just a little thought. But then again, I hear that exhaust note and could probably forgive everything!

Even though you tried really really hard Jay, you haven't turned me off this car! I'd buy this car for two reasons, I think really the only two reasons that matter to buy any Lamborghini.., the engine and the looks. Same engine as the Audi, perhaps, but the Audi's looks leaves me stone cold, whereas I LOVE the looks of the Huracan, more than any other Lambo save for maybe the Muira. And even though I'm much more of a Ferrari guy than a Lambo guy, the looks and the turbo engine of the 488/ F8 also leave me stone cold. So again in that comparison, Huracan vs. F8 I'd go with the Lambo every time because it has the looks and it has the engine. Sod everything else, at this level those are the only two things that matter ( assuming it can go around corners in a semi competent manner )

I don't know how you care for fabric in the long term though being outside and sometimes damp etc. Anyway agree about cabrio being great for this car, rarely hear opinion that slats are better for the coupe but agree, and heard this optional glass rear will fog under some circumstances. Glad you gave a proper opinion on the ceramics (this car comes standard with steel). I watched another KZbinr on this same car recently who said 'you want to get the ceramics'. Seemed to be in a section where he might be thinking about resale, but he didn't justify it properly he just seemed to think it was the cool thing to say. Edit: while on that subject, are (some other) KZbinrs paid to sell ceramics? They often exaggerate the benefits, talk about fade like the road's a racetrack, and refer to the option cost. Uh hello!

[@alexp5054]

This seemed like a really good review to me, an honest summing up of the good and bad points which a future buyer would appreciate considering no other journos tell you enough of this detail. Harry’s Garage is the closest. Having owned super cars I really agree with 2 points: firstly you must be able to custom control all the sports stuff and not be grouped together. Usually you want the twitchy steering and throttle response, but on UK roads you want the softest suspension and not the sports exhaust as it’s too unsociable. You often can’t get this combination sadly. The second issue is this maddening fashion of using a touch screen instead of buttons on all modern expensive cars. It is so irritating and downright dangerous as you have to keep looking away from the road for too long. I had a McLaren 540 and it was awful trying to drive whilst changing anything from the radio to heated seats to the sat nav. PLEASE all manufacturers bring buttons back!!!

Your hilarious mate

[@markchip1]

So... it's an "IF" car! IF ALL things in your journey are aligned and IF Lady Luck decides that you're in her good books that particular day - then it's a very good car. Otherwise it'll consistently bug the crap out of you and give you chronic pain! Not much of a recommendation then??

5:05 I'd definitely go for the Lamborghini Pack of Screen Wipes option ( £ 1, 750 ) when speccing my car ; - )

[@fredsalfa]

Was skipping through this long video to see if you actually liked the car. It seems like everwhere I looked there were complaints so then I stopped half way through. I have seen 3 or 4 of your videos and you disliked all of them. The only one you liked was the Ferrari 360. So it puts me off watching any more in a way.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

I like plenty of cars - only recent the Z4 Coupe, Ferrari FF, Austin Allegro and Lamborghini Diablo all got positive reviews. Maybe try watching the whole review rather than skipping through and coming to the wrong conclusion?

[@andrewmoorhouse687]

Stunning video James; right up there with the best. Sound capture, shots of the car, car in landscape; brilliant. Admire your honest thoughts on the Lambo too.

[@ignignxkt]

I think my F-150 has more soft touch materials in its interior than this lambo.

[@babern38]

I completely agree. Not sure why anyone would choose the huracan over an r8, assuming they don't have endless money. The R8 really is a bargain and just as enjoyable if not more so than the bull.

[@esthetics4512]

Agreed and with simple few upgrades it sounds louder and better than a titanium exhaust huracan

[@stevereilly]

Love your channel Jay, but I think you missed the point. It's not about texture, materials, w*nkiness, it's about how it makes you feel, nothing else matters.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

This is true, but those things are a part of that. When you sit in a Ferrari/Lambo/Aston/etc it should make you feel special before you even start the engine, and this is only half successful there

the screen has gesture shortcuts. 2 finger swipe up or down for volume

[@ollek111]

Surprised he didn't mention the new Maserati as well when he was talking about the other cars because that's around this price point as well

[@Freshiemaster]

175k and you have to option parking sensors. That 5k option isn't cheap, it's an absolute ripoff. But that's supercar life

[@EAD_0]

You say how perfect the R8 interior is, how bad the huracan interior is, then complain that it has Audi parts in! Eh?

[@JayEmmOnCars]

It doesn't need to be identical to the Audi, but it could learn some lessons from it

That 24mpg came on a 70mph highway stretch.

Awesome cinematography James! Loving the honesty as always and I do t see ANY other KZbinr saying it how it really is. Off to eat a Toblerone now. Alcantara covered would be a bonus…

[@UTubeSL]

It's just astonishing to me that some basic things aren't in place in cars worth several hundred thousand pounds. Like not bottoming out. Like no individual modes. Like not being able to turn off auto-upshift. My i30N does all of those at a tenth the cost!!

[@djbrianc]

Loved my time in a Huracan. Don’t know what your going on about😂. The car did make me love my 4c even more since it felt similar good but I can actually afford it. So I did

[@chrisogrady28]

Always would prefer a used R8 V10 just for the manual option

[@fartlighter82]

They quit making those in 2014.

Easily the best review I’ve seen of this car. Such a realistic consideration of what it would be like to own. Fast, flawed, but fabulous!

FYI the car "bottoming out" is just the bottom venturi flaps scraping, not the bottom undertray or front lip

Love that he has the balls to say 'this car is crap unless you're driving it in the right place at the right time'. Love it.

[@maseratiupgrades4363]

I like how both the engine and transmission in the Huracan/R8 are in perfect synch. Yes the pops pop like clockwork. What I do not like about the Ferrari's is that there is drive train slop in automatic mode and while the manual shifts are fast there is a 'sponginess' to them whether operating a V12 dual clutch or V6 hybrid (296 GTB). To me this spells that somewhere in the drive train, the Ferraris will need more attention in terms of service. I would prefer the products of the tractor maker who saw at the outset that Ferrari does have weak links of cheesiness, aside from the fact that Ferrari's engineers focus more on racing performance.

[@user-eo2wv7kx6t]

Supercars normally do absolutely nothing for me, but that intro...seeing one taken for a good old fashioned spanking down a B road instead of being driven at 3 mph through a city centre to show off, absolutely brilliant. That noise...
