My buddy's new Revuelto

[Socal_R8]

1 of only 100 in North America apparently ....

He recently sold his company he started a few years ago for just short of $100M ....one of his newest toys.

100 million beans eh..... christ on a bike

Looks great! Funny to see how low that car is. The garage interior photo with Urus and door show the scale and proportion.

tell me about it.....I knew him when he a little paint ball store and selling school supplies on the side.

He left $15M in the business and took a check for $72M for the rest of it....

Happy for him, but man I am a wee bit jealous

yeah, it sure is.....

here is another look at it for comparison

It’s growing on me but I kinda hate the screens and would rather have an SVJ/Ultimae for the same money. That brown interior is not what I’d go with on any Lambo, but that’s just me.

Pass. Mediocre car, mediocre spec, nice house though. Good for your buddy.

As long as it's what he likes.

What type of company did he start and sell?

Mediocre 1001 hp car that goes 0-60 in 2.3 seconds with an exposed v12 ...

I don't like the coffee interior personally, but I love the white with carbon

He says it embarrasses his other fun car.... Mac 765LT Spider

started with school supplies...turned into Chromebook carts.

Right place right time.....took advantage of a situation when his supplier tried to rip him off, so he became his own supplier....the rest is history

Thats USD to boot. Real cas$h.

I am always torn with Lambo, I mean if i had the money. I do appreciate how wild they look but they are so damn big. NA V12 would have to be the way to go though if one was to buy one surely?

I gotta say, I actually prefer the look of the McLaren.

Oh and nothing wrong with being a bit jealous, we all get that way but then I remember some people cannot feed themselves and shut myself down.

Same.

Good for him and his hard work reward.
But imo, that is a hot mess. Can't unsee C8ness.
Different strokes.

Lambo was easily one of my favorite car companies growing up. Having said that, the new ones don't do much for me. I'd so much rather take a Diablo SV (in yellow please!) over any of these new Audi era ones. Not that I'll be in that position to do so

no, sorry...this was legit.

Like I said, in a nut shell, He supplied computer carts for schools, then his supplier tried to screw him so he just started manufacturing the carts himself and became his own supplier....

few years later a competitor made him an offer he couldn't refuse...

Retired at 56 with a pretty nice chunk of change

[Donatello.]

All this $ & no fun colors

What I like about the Revuelto is it is a mix of all the classics....it is like an homage to the Countach, Murci, Hurican and Adventador....mixed with 918 hybrid tech mixed an exposed v12.... I do see the C8 vibe tho with the side intakes

here is the shot of the exposed V12

You might want to talk to your optometrist, that sounds like diabetic retinopathy. Might be best to start treatments sooner than later!

I've driven both, and don't agree. First gear takes forever to wind out, the interior is trying too hard to be like ferrari and the power delivery just isn't that great. Aventador SVJ tickled my v12 itch more than that.

I'd agree and say a SJV is more fun than the 765lt.

Hey we can all like what we like

[MisanoblueZ4]

Nice car! Hopefully he gets out of CA before they confiscate his $$.

Not saying it was not legit. I have a teacher friend. During COVID her school was buying Chromebook/carts out the ass with COVID funds from Uncle Sam. Figured he got in on the up-market.

Decent chunk I'm sure went to capital gains taxes...
