The McLaren isn't quite that light, John. The curb weight is reportedly around 3200lbs.

The Aventador is around 3475lbs, so not much heavier despite being a larger car with a bigger engine.

John's right - bother McLaren and Pagani (Zonda and Huayara) are a lot more attractive than Aventador. I agree, Steven, I was a little harsh. But you cannot deny that if Ferrucio was still running things, this car would have looked a whole LOT different than this. And that was basically my point - they are not much more than a glorified Audis now. Sure, engines are extremely powerful etc etc - you said it, Lamborghini knows its customers. But I'm ultimately underwhelmed by this model. Even if it is a great-looking car, and probably performs great as well.

I don't know... honestly, I'm not in the market for a Lambo, so no one cares about what I think about it, but I'm still unnerved about those long-ass overhangs and the fans but yeah, sure hot car!
