I am shocked at how good it actually is, even with my driving style.

Looking for an extended/crew cab with 4WD. Maybe a regular cab if it's nice enough.
I'll look today... if I leave the house!

I get decent mileage (22-24MPG) on long road trips, but during my day to day driving I average around 16MPG.

The new Aventador J.

Quote:
Lamborghini today announced the latest showcase of the carbon-fiber materials research it's doing with the University of Washington.

Called the Aventador J, it's a one-off concept car appearing at the Geneva Motor Show before it will be sold to one rich and lucky enthusiast. (Update: A source of mine heard that a buyer's already stepped forward with around $2.1 million ...)

The car combines the latest carbon composite materials with an open-roofed, retro design that to me echoes the classic Italian road racers of the 1950s and the Mach 5 of "Speed Racer." Instead of a windshield, it has two small wind "deflectors" that the company compares to those on a superbike.

It's based on the V-12 Aventador LP 700-4 that was the first vehicle developed start-to-finish through collaboration with the UW Lamborghini lab. The company's interest in advancing carbon technology for the Aventador is a big reason the lab was established in 2009.

The Aventador J has a new monocoque and seats made of forged composites, a technique devoloped with the lab's founder, Paolo Feraboli, a UW professor who also worked with Boeing on the carbon technology in the 787.

Carbon pieces are all over the Aventador J, which also uses a new carbon fiber fabric called "Carbonskin" that's made of woven carbon fibers soaked with epoxy resin. It coats the ****pit and is used in seat inserts. Lamborghini's release said other products may use this newly patented material, including high-end clothing.

Other carbon pieces include the large rear diffuser, a new X-shaped engine cover and fins on the bumpers "that act as flow deviators."

It was pretty stupid to be honest.
