I always find it interesting to see where people actually put their money, it is a hugely significant sign despite the positive things said when driving the other cars. The latest Supercar Driver video said that a lot of their members are going back to these cars rather than buying the modern supercars. Great purchase.
I wasn’t sure on the orange when I first saw it, but then you showed the b roll with the all white one and cut back to this and I am sold :) it’s a car that was made for you Ant congratulations. I’ll be fascinated to see if the R8 is still with you this time next year.
@LarryKippings James uses CentreGravity. I use vehicle specialists usually, e.g. REPerformance (Ricky Elder's place) for the R8 and Gallardo. I use Abbey Motorsport for my Z.
@ODGreenZa for sure but I love the Corsa shifts and think I'd still choose this over the manual. Sure, I could do that myself in a manual but I do like the paddle shift experience in this.
Congratulations Ant! I think each of your three cars is an excellent choise seen individually. What suprises me a bit is that you bought the special thing of the special thing. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to your coming content.
Love the car, but not the orange. Looks like an influencer is trying a little hard dare I say. The other car you tried in the white and black, that's more me personally. But either way it's a lovely thing
I thought the same... for me it was an acquired taste. And, I do like that it is distinctive and it's unlikely to be confused for anyone else's Superleg. Thanks for watching 🙂
I had a similar first thought, the orange accents and flag stripe were just too much. But as the video went, I started liking it more and more. Now that we are at the end I completely love it. That little Italian car works it's way into your heart.
That's what happened to me in the showroom! That makes it all the more special for me. Did you see the collection video? You'll see what I mean. (see pinned comment)
Congrats ant! I know you mention it, but please be aware (it’s in the manual) that putting your egear in Corsa also backs off the stability control and increases your risk ending upside down in a ditch. Don’t use it in an influencer-famous-last-words “watch me do X” mindset. I am a proud owner of an LP myself and am always aware it’s a bull that might want to fight me one day ;) drive safe, these are very special cars and will never be made again.
Thank you for the wise words.. It's for that reason I was being extra progressive with the throttle and feeling the grip on the day. And. thank you for watching!
Honestly not had a problem - drives fine in Corsa and the 4wd is the far better insurance than traction control. Usual caveats apply don’t lift abruptly in the corners and the front will pull you round nicely.
Congratulations Ant! I love the spec of the car. It's not something I'd go and do myself if the car was all 1 colour, but the orange accents add to the car, they don't ruin it. Also, I didn't realise you loved the 370Z Nismo so much that you actually put it above the R8! I've always liked them but never actually wanted to own one.
I think all cars have their flaws, which is to be realistically expected, and should go without saying. But, it's what kind of flaws are you willing to forgive, accept, and even forget, because of what the car is, and how it makes you feel, at even incredibly individual levels. There are some cars that just sing to our hearts. But every once in a while, we find a car that brings our hearts to sing. And Ant, I think this car inspires the latter for you.
I'm glad Ant is enjoying his new car, that being the most important thing. Those orange bits have grown on me, I love the spec of this car, it is lairy just like a Lambo should be!
Been following your search from the start, delighted to see you have made a purchase. Not a car I know much about so looking forward to following your journey. Enjoy
At first I thought - oh no! What has Ant done getting that spec?! After the video - love the orange accents. Great looking car, and the best sounding out of all the ones you’ve considered 👌🏼
That's what happened to me when I first started looking at it... Then, I fell for it. If you check out the collection video, I think we capture the looks far better as it was in the showroom - th-cam.com/video/X_QtgZhtu6U/w-d-xo.html
great to know the superG is different enough from the r8! and since u asked, i cant stand the color scheme or the matte white paint. But as long as u love it, all is well. I sold my base r8 and paid triple for a perf spyder, never looked back. Go with your heart always wins
This is one of those cars you would put on a calendar. This is a calender beauty. Infact I think the sportzntouring calendar from the 370, to the R8 to the superleggera just 12 good pictures I would definitely buy a 2025 edition looking forward to seeing the content next year from you guys
I have not driven a Lamborghini yet but something tells me that when I do I will have a wonderful experience talking to a police officer 👮♀️ about my license 🪪 and registration and such lol 😂
The thing i absolutely love about the Lamborghini Gallardo is its overall size, it is just perfect for city driving while the other super-cars are just to big by far.
So weird as when I first saw it then straightaway didn’t like the colour scheme. However after you almost finished the episode it had grown on me to the point it looks special. I guess depending on cost and its limited edition that it should be a decent long term investment? Definitely can see why you got it. Plus if you can’t get the parts should there be any issues, you can always temporarily nick them off the R8GT. 🤣👍
Ha ha!! Well, some parts maybe but as we say, not as much as you'd think. If you've not seen it, check out the collection video. In the showroom setting, it looks even better... That's where I fell for its looks... th-cam.com/video/X_QtgZhtu6U/w-d-xo.html
It's a funny-looking thing without the blacked out front splitters. I've only seen the Gallardo SL Tecnica in its launch spec of Nero Aldebaran with Arancio Argos. But I commend anyone who went for brave specs like this. And even in wacky scheme like this the Gallardo 570 SL still looks fantastic, the best-looking of all the Gallardos in my book. Maybe with the exception of Gallardo STS but that's simply an SL with SuperTrofeo wing and engine cover. Road trip to Italy with Gallardo SL and 430 Scud next year? I hope you two will attempt some sort of lightweight track special road trip with those two cars, would be fun.
At first I thought you personally added the orange bits. I did not know they came from the factory like that. If you like it great. Or you then double down and add more orange bits or wrap it in white. It’s a nice car. I would like to see a review of the Balboni edition? I wonder if just rear wheel drive adds to the experience?
I think this is the last Lambo before they went imo OTT in styling and performance. Very pretty car and the orange bits actually enhance its prettiness.
Strange suggestion... Why would I get an R8 V10 Plus when I've got an R8GT?! That would certainly be a downgrade to trade the GT for a Plus and pointless to own together. As I say in the video, this Lambo is a marmite car. I expect some will love it and some will hate it. Sorry to hear it's not for you.
I get the impression you'd not have bought either in the first place 😉 355 spider is cool but similar price to the R8GT Spider that I have so I wouldn't need to sell both.
It was a fair bit less than a 600 LT. That's on my list for the future but really want a spider. The spec I'd want is also hard to find and at the higher end when there is one close to the spec I'd like. I won't buy one if I'm settling for a spec I don't like so that's for later.
Its nice...not my cup of tea, but i can see why someone would like it....however, ...it is wholly spoilt by that bloody awful spoiler. alas, ...it looks like a poor retro fit and really spoils the lines. Happy Lambo driving.
@@LavshBeatsTMlavishbeats OMG...Get a life. I expressed an opinion . and wished him happy driving...so because it doesn't fall into your snowflake world you feel motived to post that comment. Happy Christmas.
Well, as we explain with reasons in the video, it isn't that at all. It's differences are substantial, more than people realise (especially if they've not driven both). Having driven both cars back to back you'd never imagine they shared as much. The 488 and F8 probably have more in common than the R8 and the Gallardo in terms of experience.
Learn more about the car and see the emotional collection video with Ant and his son here: th-cam.com/video/X_QtgZhtu6U/w-d-xo.html
Only thing that matters is that Ant is happy and enjoys the car.
This is true... And I love it!
I always find it interesting to see where people actually put their money, it is a hugely significant sign despite the positive things said when driving the other cars. The latest Supercar Driver video said that a lot of their members are going back to these cars rather than buying the modern supercars. Great purchase.
Thank you! Yeah, the newer cars seem to be less raw, too 'digital'. I fell for this as much for its good qualities as its flaws as a driving machine.
I wasn’t sure on the orange when I first saw it, but then you showed the b roll with the all white one and cut back to this and I am sold :) it’s a car that was made for you Ant congratulations. I’ll be fascinated to see if the R8 is still with you this time next year.
Awww thanks Ben. Let's see 🤔
Each to their own, I don't like white cars at all, so the orange and carbon really makes a positive difference to me. Well done!
I was obviously going to comment on this as I bought one after Jay tested the black one. I absolutely love it - Enjoy the car in good health Ant!
Thank you kindly!
We hope you've enjoyed this series and like the surprise ending!
Special car, big congrats 🎉
Where do you recommend for car geometry & suspension setup.
@LarryKippings James uses CentreGravity. I use vehicle specialists usually, e.g. REPerformance (Ricky Elder's place) for the R8 and Gallardo. I use Abbey Motorsport for my Z.
I drove a 570 some years back. The soundtrack behind your head never gets old. Great purchase
It's soooo good :-)
Tunnel run coming soon 😮
Thank you for watching!
I just wish they released gated manuals but I must say this one is gorgeous. Enjoy she's beautiful
@ODGreenZa for sure but I love the Corsa shifts and think I'd still choose this over the manual. Sure, I could do that myself in a manual but I do like the paddle shift experience in this.
Congratulations Ant! I think each of your three cars is an excellent choise seen individually. What suprises me a bit is that you bought the special thing of the special thing. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to your coming content.
Thank you! Honestly, it was originally about the interior and carbon. But, then the rest has since grown on me. I now love it!
Love it. A Lambo has to stand out and be loud and proud.
Agreed!!!!
Love the car, but not the orange. Looks like an influencer is trying a little hard dare I say. The other car you tried in the white and black, that's more me personally. But either way it's a lovely thing
I thought the same... for me it was an acquired taste. And, I do like that it is distinctive and it's unlikely to be confused for anyone else's Superleg. Thanks for watching 🙂
I agree with you 💯
This is the factory paint scheme for the Edizione Tecnica when the main color is white.
I had a similar first thought, the orange accents and flag stripe were just too much. But as the video went, I started liking it more and more. Now that we are at the end I completely love it. That little Italian car works it's way into your heart.

Ahh, yes, the Z... it's an emotional attachment for sure! It's by no means the better car, but it is the one closest to my heart.
Thanks for watching.
Great choice. I actually love the look of the thing. The orange looks great.
Thank you!!

You've nailed it! Right there!!!! ❤
I have the same car (not technica) - it's so mucj fun to drive :)
More fun than all the other cars I've driven!
It’s a ❤ from me. I’m glad you found the perfect specification for you (carbon King)! Ultimately, that’s all that matters, that you love it 👍🏼
Thank you! And, indeed I do! Thanks for watching!
I love the appearance, it's different.
Yes! That's why I fell for it. It's distinct! Thanks for watching!
I'm glad Ant is enjoying his new car, that being the most important thing.
Those orange bits have grown on me, I love the spec of this car, it is lairy just like a Lambo should be!
Thats the same experience I had! It comes across even more so in the collection video. Thanks for watching 🙏
Been following your search from the start, delighted to see you have made a purchase. Not a car I know much about so looking forward to following your journey. Enjoy
Ultimately it is absolutely that you like it; and what a car! Colour not for me unfortunately but love the interior Ant.

Great choice Ant, 100% understand why you went down the Legg route and the colour's dope...enjoy 👍
Thank you!! Much appreciated. Thanks for watching.
Congrats 🎉 It's definitely the most interesting option
Thank you! I thought so... Lots to talk about with this car for sure!
Lovely choice, and you get to keep that fabulous v10 howl ❤
Thank you!!

Thank you!!! Not a bad idea!
Top choice - hard to beat the excitement of an SL. 💥
It's soooo good! Thank you!
At 4:53 I thought you said "A bitter view", then I had to think for a second and realize that you said "A bit of you".
Congratulations Ant a very smart choice 😍
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Your welcome. I’ve driven one before so I understand how your heart made the decision.
Congratulations - love it and think it's a superb slightly left field choice 👍
Thank you! Not what I planned, but how it worked out.
Is the R8 GT for sale? If so, how much?
I have not driven a Lamborghini yet but something tells me that when I do I will have a wonderful experience talking to a police officer 👮♀️ about my license 🪪 and registration and such lol 😂
Let's hope I don't have that problem 🤞
Dream higher.
Love the car, great spec, just hope the maintenance costs don't hit you too hard.
Let's hope! Thanks for watching!
Looks amazing and it sound good. Awesome car
Thank you!!!
The thing i absolutely love about the Lamborghini Gallardo is its overall size, it is just perfect for city driving while the other super-cars are just to big by far.
Good Choice! 👍Not my choice of colour, but great car if it's your taste!
It is indeed. Thank you. And Thanks for watching!
A Scud and a Superlegg driving through Italy will make for an all time great video

He liked the R8 so much be bought another one (just kidding)
Re the spec: I don't mind it but I'm not falling into the marmite category here.
😂😂😂

Amazing car! Congrats to Ant:)
Great video and car. Looks and sounds amazing.
So happy for you choosing a car YOU love especially its such a rare spec. I think its an amazing car, just not a fan of the orange.
I like the way it looks as long as someone else is driving it.
At first I thought you personally added the orange bits. I did not know they came from the factory like that. If you like it great. Or you then double down and add more orange bits or wrap it in white. It’s a nice car.

I love this car as it's. If anything I'm doubling down on the accents. Watch this space.
James has reviewed a Balbone on JayEmm on Cars. Check it out.
If something mechanical goes "thud", some damage is happening! Think of hitting something with an iron hammer.
As you’ve asked…..
I would probably have to wrap the orange bits but the car (and the white) is very very nice 👌
Love the car, great looks, sounds great, but you can toss the orange bits.
I think this is the last Lambo before they went imo OTT in styling and performance. Very pretty car and the orange bits actually enhance its prettiness.
Agreed! Thanks for wathcing!
Showing the porsche😂 16:05
Entirely by accident 😉
@sportzntouring front and back... Happy little accident.
F’kin gorgeous. 🔥
Thank you! Glad you can see what I see!! ❤
The only think I hate are the orange bits
How likely is a Sagaris to be Ant's next purchase?
Subtle livery……🤨
😅
I love the car, but I’m not a fan of the orange accent. I’d rather have an all white car.
Bloody hell what a horrendous car: I'd have gone with the R8 Plus V10 which is (surprisingly) much lower key and classier than this awful thing.
Strange suggestion... Why would I get an R8 V10 Plus when I've got an R8GT?! That would certainly be a downgrade to trade the GT for a Plus and pointless to own together. As I say in the video, this Lambo is a marmite car. I expect some will love it and some will hate it. Sorry to hear it's not for you.
I’d sell the R8 and 370 and get a manual F355 Spider instead
I get the impression you'd not have bought either in the first place 😉
355 spider is cool but similar price to the R8GT Spider that I have so I wouldn't need to sell both.
Wonder what he paid. For me a 600LT would be my go to.
It was a fair bit less than a 600 LT. That's on my list for the future but really want a spider. The spec I'd want is also hard to find and at the higher end when there is one close to the spec I'd like. I won't buy one if I'm settling for a spec I don't like so that's for later.
Fine looking car that will continue to age well…but the orange flashes just look juvenile and go-faster demon tweaks. 🤦🏻♂️
I've always put my hand up and admitted that my taste in cars hasn't changed much since I was 12... Living my childhood dreams! 😁
Beautiful car my favourite Lambo , excellent design but that Orange its absolutely disgusting
720s or a 488 or huracan over this
Each to their own. This leaves one more of each of those on the market for you 😊
Sorry horrible, give me the Ferrari any day.
Good thing I went with what was in my heart and not anyone else's 😉
Thanks for watching, even if a little bit 🙏
Its nice...not my cup of tea, but i can see why someone would like it....however, ...it is wholly spoilt by that bloody awful spoiler. alas, ...it looks like a poor retro fit and really spoils the lines. Happy Lambo driving.

Having driven both cars back to back you'd never imagine they shared as much. The 488 and F8 probably have more in common than the R8 and the Gallardo in terms of experience.

Well, it's not. Did you even watch the video? Seems you didn't for multiple reasons.
I'm glad the real experts, such as yourself, have arrived, correcting those who only bloody own the cars.
