[@Presto_001]

Car Expert is stepping up in the type of cars you get to review. I am so happy you can review Lamborghinis now. Looking forward to seeing what else you have got coming. 😃

[@HughesyTech]

Took em a while get pdrive in

[@JaimieSigamoney]

What I love about the STO is that it has this constant like "blow torch" flame out the exhaust which is clearly visible in the dark.

[@dodgeviper89]

You mention this a competitor to the 911 GT3 RS and Mercedes, but you also missed it's main rival, TH Magna Executive 3.5L 5sp manual.

[@38skippers]

😂😂😂 classic

[@TheHayabusa09]

Great review! First time Paul doesn't mention his casual, ''and if that's too expensive, the entire range kicks off at..''!!

[@ciuffy824]

If I had the money and could afford the maintenance on it I’d buy one tomorrow. Bloody love this car ❤❤

[@erehwon80]

You looked like you were having far too much fun Paul... 😂 Oh yeah, and that 80-120 time is bloody amazing!

[@James-qu7ml]

I do love how you did gave it that performance test and didn't hold back. That definitely made it enjoyable and it's an important part viewers want to see with these cars

[@ballcardaddicts9452]

Such a watchable guy! been following for quite some time and love that they are getting you into the bigger leagues! Congrats Paul!

[@Bmontepeque11]

It's great to see a supercar review by Paul! This STO could even be the best driving Lambo right now. 🧐 (But I would still prefer the V12 because it's just so cool 🌚❤️) Also, you can just slide 3 fingers on the screen up or down as a shortcut for volume :),

[@Driven-Productions]

An excellent review guys. Was going to shoot my STO review tomorrow but owner had to reschedule. Yours was best I’ve seen yet.

[@simoncouch1523]

Another wicked review, thank you 🙏

[@yaishmatheen4274]

it’s fantastic how far you’ve come

[@Gypsyjoe67]

Paul is my favourite car reviewer of all, I would love a job like his! But missed my calling, lol! Keep up the great work young man! 👍

[@jamesoneill5810]

Awesome review that much Ive watched it twice ❤❤❤❤

[@CarExpertAus]

🙌

[@matthewmuffett9028]

Such an amazing car paul u must of loved it when u got the chance to review this car

[@jasonrhyan4926]

Absolutely love it! Great colour and everything. Lambo’s have always been my longtime favourite and my dream car . Love love love it!

[@donnybrook23]

That sound is pure joy even if just via KZbin.....not jealous at all......oh ok you lucky lucky individual Paul.

[@jepersonkiay9677]

Woah i didn't expect a ute reviewer to review a supercar Brand such as Lamborghini keep up the content 🎉

[@mvnorsel6354]

He still prefers the ' truck ', go figure😅

[@jepersonkiay9677]

@@mvnorsel6354 i thought he was going to say "it competes with things like Toyota Hilux "😂

[@siansroadtonirvana]

Great video! Thank you for sharing ❤️😉👍

[@Faulty_wire82]

This is such a sick car bro. engine sounds absolutely epic. can see why Paul was so excited.

[@monkistyle]

Had to turn my subwoofer down because the cabin sound was so loud. Another good review!

[@mungers88]

Just starting to watch, know this is going to be epic

[@MiggyMndza]

Can't help having a huge smile as well everytime Paul gets overwhelmed too 😂

[@fhclappen8595]

Wow WOW. Paul in his element. With smile from ear to ear, V10 screaming right behind the ears. Undescribeable perfect symphony. Or is it shear just uncontrilable rushing adrinaleen. Loved the whole presentation Paul. But... There was one or rather two parts you left out. How the hell dit you get in or out, in a natural way?

[@Messergebnis-liebhaber]

Ich freue mich immer auf eure neuen Videos.

[@superjervis]

Best spec iv'e seen

[@jamesbonica]

This is an AWESOME car! Both in real life & the video game world. Tons of fun driving it in Forza Horizon 5. Always love road cars with racing technology & design incorporated into a well rounded driving machine 😀😀

[@bugged120]

Paul, you are a lucky fella! Sounds glorious and looks fantastic.

[@Faulty_wire82]

indeed

[@DTollz]

Very very cool! What a beast of a car...but does it ever not rain there? Feel like almost every video/review it's been raining.

[@tonestar0183]

Wow! Just wow!

[@dolguldur4706]

Hopefully paul can review ferrari 812 superfast one fine day....congratulation on your archievement paul..this channel is the best car review channel in the world

[@ALIHAIDER-gg2bz]

I love you brother best cars channel i have ever seen LOVE FROM PAKISTAN 😍❤️

[@Mhon0701]

Thanks for the review I have one and had no idea I had seat heaters! Cup holder is available - it was a $400 option So too with DAB Didn’t know I could get cruise control?

[@jpracing893]

The only thing that could make this better, and this applies to Ferrari and McLaren, is to stop using 245mm fronts. They’re far to skinny, take a leaf out of the Nurburgring lap record holders Porsche and Mercedes and fit some decent 265mm, it’ll drastically improve grip and better braking as it has a larger contact patch with the road. There’s a reason GT3 cars have 295/300mm fronts.

[@jackh4787]

I did volunteer to help out after you did the M4, can’t see any voicemails or missed calls though😅

[@richardwalsh5570]

So good 😊❤

[@yissibiiyte]

Unfortunately there are some important consumer details that were missed in this review: How comfortable are the back seats? How big is the boot? Towing capacity? Off-road capability?

[@interceptor7905]

Lol

[@IamJay02]

Lol

[@funshorestudios]

Lol

[@Adamlllllllllllljjjljljjjjj]

He did include the fuel economy though, which is the biggest factor by FAR when buying a super car.

[@mixalis6168]

you also forgot, fuel consumption !!

[@TheYousken]

You should sweet talk Ferrari into giving you the keys to a Purosangue. Great video as always. Nice to see something different. 👍

[@mjmikaelson]

The Lamborghini STO looks great! ✨😉👍

[@MathewBT81]

Awesome review 🏆 although in your brake test you stopped from 112km 😅 What a beast 🐂

[@TheStigHCE09]

The data logging gear he uses, in fact what most reviewers use, track 100-0km/h via GPS, so as long as you're somewhere above 100km/h when you start braking, it'll record it exactly from 100km/h.

[@MathewBT81]

@@TheStigHCE09 ahh I see, thanks for the heads up 🏆

[@egzonsalihu1451]

Lamborghini Huracan STO is the best. I love it.🚀🚀🔥🔥

[@andrewvillegas2966]

Paul, the 100-0 braking was done at 111kph before you hit the pedal. If it was at 100, I reckon it would have made the 30 meter mark. Love that you are reviewing fast cars. One day, I will have one and compare it to your reviews. Great stuff, keep it up!

[@CarExpertAus]

Doesn’t make a difference :-) it only measures from 100km/h so it doesn’t matter when you start braking, as long as it’s above 100km/h.

[@64nine]

@@CarExpertAus Well the scientist in me says no... You diminished 7% of the braking performance scrubbing off that 11km/h before you reached 100km/h.

[@Dino-zc5wi]

​@@CarExpertAusI don't buy that, in fact you started braking at 112kph. Otherwise great review

[@CarExpertAus]

@@Dino-zc5wi Yep. Makes no difference. It only measures from 100km/h.

[@CarExpertAus]

@@64nine The engineer in me says it makes no difference. It may matter on the fifth or sixth brake when brake fade comes into play, but it makes no difference otherwise. We’ve tested it many times before.

[@craigmurphy5048]

What timing app did you use?

[@nasosnasos8054]

Love

[@blurayking1]

good job Paul about time you started reviewing super cars

[@joelcarterramadge183]

I am not sure if I agree with the second half of that sentence, don't want to end up with another CarWow...

[@rodneynicholls6537]

it's awesome

[@rayqand5068]

What’s the ANCAP safety rating on these ?

[@TheChef-mh8xi]

Just a quick correction that I see many influencers get wrong. The “O” in STO stands for “Omologata” and not “Omologato”. The correct spelling is with an “a” at the end.

[@M8YM8]

Even attempting to bring a coffee in to this piece of art is a crime against humanity.

[@twc733]

If I had won thr $100 million powerball... your review would sold it to me 😂...

[@Adam-7_7_7]

What I do know about Italian vehicles I.e, fiat ,alfa , iveco, is once you put some km's on them, they're incredibly reliable ,with trouble free engines, and their electrical systems are first class 😂

[@antoinemorcos1321]

What orange color is that please? Thank you!

[@jamesmwilliams1]

what a weapon

[@acquiredtargett6015]

That car has such a great engine noise. Never get tired of that. Shame about that J turn tho' 😂

[@VicErron63]

Great car the STO and review , those wheels aren’t the magnesium option.there gold colour . I love the shape of the car. What are the best Lambo I’ve ever done.

[@duncaninglis5407]

😂it would cost more than my new car just to insure the $250.000 worth extras. You’ve got a great job mate well done.👍

[@twc733]

Can't believe they don't have the car run in before giving it out for you guys to review

[@DyslexicWorkersUntie]

What was the speed u reached at the back straight? Also were u doing 111km for the brake test? hence the extra 5m?

[@CarExpertAus]

It only records from 100km/h, so the number is correct. It’s possible the surface wasn’t completely dry, or was a bit greasy from earlier rain.

[@easty6615]

Such an epic car!! I am wondering why you bother reporting the 80-120 time when the car is already at max acceleration? Isn’t the idea to record the rolling acceleration to 120 if you’re maintaining 80? Not blasting straight through it and recording that time. Keep up the epic videos 👍🏽

[@CarExpertAus]

Nup. It’s a measure of how quickly it accelerates through that speed zone. It then makes it directly comparable between all cars we test. If we do a rolling acceleration test there are too many variables that don’t make the number comparable between vehicles - such as the gear you start in, how far below 80km/h you start and which part of the track we begin accelerating. By doing it this way it’s simply a measure of torque production in that speed zone that determines how quickly it moves through it.

[@peterwest5661]

Hi Paul nice review. Amazing piece of automotive engineering. If i had won the 100 mill in Xlotto last night what would i buy? No contest a Phase 3 GTO or HT 350 Bathurst Monaro. Still get the same penis extension but you can fix it.

[@bosshogg690]

how do you get this as a press car

[@yol5533]

I want to see Paul get this channel up to, and past the level of carwow!

[@russell3436]

Highly doubt it, Mat Watson has gone viral in popularity, for this channel to achieve that they need to start putting drag races with popular cars not only utes.

[@bainracing]

Great job. You just have to dial in your tests a little better. Looks like you were well over 100 km for the brake test. But what a car!!! 🤣👌

[@redpepper7181]

Does it come with free tractor.

[@LG-th8xt]

If you put a VW Polo, an Audi RS and a Škoda Octavia in a pressure cooker with a spoonful of carbon, and you mix everything well and stuff it, you get this Lamborghini. That brodet is called a specialty, so it has a price

[@auswi]

11:15 Apple CarPlay a 6'ish thousand dollar option... I hope that also includes a couple of iPhones as part of that cost. Honestly, the cost of options on these cars is more than ridiculous. You can buy a brand new Kia Picanto with wireless Apple CarPlay for ~$18k. I'm not saying this is in any way comparable, but surely the Apple CarPlay component doesn't cost $6k. I guess if you can afford this car in the first place, that sort of money isn't really material. That aside... amazing car!

[@viralmehta7036]

Why is the infotainment system so low?? How is it even safe to look at it whilst driving

[@motarstephen5686]

Best looking lambo ever

[@mabuleonkars9706]

Surprised at how compliant the suspension is

Hello Paul Can you please review Mahindra XUV 700

[@giorgiokandanoleon1682]

Hey Paul, bit of a random question, what watch are you wearing?

[@BiggieBalls72]

I think it’s an Omega Speedmaster Professional on a NATO Strap.

[@MillonareMindset]

Now can you please review the Ldv D90

[@CarExpertAus]

They won’t give us one to review.

[@ainslieberrafella]

One thing this video missed was showing the speedometer when you were hurtling down the back straight? How fast did it go??

[@CarExpertAus]

Very.

[@nasosnasos8054]

Price?

As you mentioned an EV will never match the sheer poetry in motion that this can can produce
