You make it sound like EV's are new. The first battery was invented in 1800. The first electric motor in 1820's. Electric cars came before ICE cars. Batteries are our energy storage bottleneck. Everything about an EV is mature, except energy storage medium.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I'm all for hybrids, like Rage said it offers the best of both. I have zero interest thus far for a BEV. Maybe as a commuter to/from work, but that's a very expensive proposition for a basic work car.
If it makes ICE guys feel better, Teslas are sitting in dealers lots. and very tough to sell. They're usually traded in for PHEV or ICE's. My local Ford dealer is having a hard time selling his Mach E's. I don't hate EV's, but I certainly can't get excited about them either. It would be a dammed shame to see Lambo go EV, it would be the death of exotic vehicles.
Exotic vehicles are pretty much dead.
I think hybrid is good… but I see a future with ice running synthetic fuels. Ev is not realistic with large diesel engine and jets etc …

We have a higher chance of seeing mainstream cars powered by unicorn jizz.
The good news - for now at least - is there are 40 - 50ish years worth of exotic car production that you can draw from; screw buying anything new if you're that against it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
So what I am hearing is I should buy a Gallardo

If that's what floats your boat, sure - the Gallardo's a fun car.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If not, there's lots of other choices.
F12 is still my #1 choice.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
F355 is the right answer

Some interesting discussion. I’m still optimistic about the future for Lamborghini and other manufacturers moving to hybrid but I’ll have to wait to actually drive something unique and special to make a purchase. Every hybrid I’ve driven to date and every EV including the Tesla Plaid has been a bore to drive.
@killramos I would definitely buy a G if you can find a clean 6sp manual for under $180k. You wouldn’t regret it in 5+ years I am near certain.

Disagree. Synthetic fuels are quietly racing in development while the world waits for the mainstream dolts to realize that scooping the stove ashes into a pile doesn't make them have viable energy.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Once that hilarious experiment is over, SynFuels will occupy a significant portion of the market.
If I had a crystal ball, it’s a race between synthetic fuels and hydrogen ICE for us car enthusiasts. Unless a miracle battery gets invented.

And unless a miracle refrigeration/storage system (that's somehow, almost free) gets invented, then hydrogen ICE just left the chat.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
You’re talking liquid hydrogen. Toyotas been racing a compressed hydrogen ICE car which is easier for storage than liquid. It’s still early days but synfuels has its challenges too, namely how energy intensive it is to manufacture. That said, I think both these development paths are more clear than the miracle battery.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I was talking both. The refrigeration is complex and horrible while the compression requires heavy-walled pressure vessels that are worse than CNG. And so bomby.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
