I'll be impressed if they can keep the weight below 4000lbs actual. These cars are making more and more a case for pure electric. Interesting silhouette/shape. From what little I can see of it, it looks like it will be a great looking car.

I have my fingers crossed that AM can make the Valhalla the claimed ~3650lb wet weight. If they can, and they pull off the 1000+ combined HP, it should be pretty awesome.

I've never been too excited by the Aventador in the past, but V12 with over 1000 combined HP and if it isn't a total pig could be pretty interesting too.

3650 dry weight. Will be a heavy car with fluids.

question is did they make it so someone bigger than 6’0”can fit in it. I’m 6’4” and unfortunately have not been able to get remotely close to fitting in any aventador.

over 4000 pounds for sure.... we didn't get to sit in it...I hear it's more spacious...
lets hope so for Lambo ... the Aventador is nearly undrivable for ppl taller than 6'1''

2” more headroom
No idea how much that will effect the sitting position but it sounds like quiet a bit ... its also the angle of how you sit in it, the angle of the back part of the seat, how much it can move back etc ... you know anyway ;-) ... knowing Lambo so far it seems a bit dangerous for taller ppl to buy one unseen (unseated ;-) )

Not sure how tall you are and I dont think you guys got to sit in the cars at the reveal but being 6'4" as much as I would like to own a lambo- it just has not been possible.
Think for ppl like us its safer to stay with McL ... I did not sit in a McLaren that felt too tight so far

I’m 5’11”. Lambo is a car that you need to sit in before buying /ordering for solely this reason .

I was very uncomfortable and the viewing position was terrible in sv and performante .

When I bought my 720 back in the day, I took my buddies Performante out for a drive. 5 miles of driving was enough to tell me there is zero chance this is going to work. And then SVJ- not even close trying to fit. There could be worse things in the world than being relegated to driving a Mclaren only.

I am 6'3'' ... so basically all Lambos are out and R8 is quiet tight ... 296 and SF90 did not sit in so far ... most 911 Porsche series are ok to good and 720S 600LT etc feel spacious, 720s more than 570/600LT,but the Sports series ones are still OK ... actually in my opinion thats a major plus for McL that all their cars are spacious inside and that you have quiet a bit of useable trunk space (maybe not in Senna... :ROFLMAO: )

When I was on the fence between a 570 and a Huracan, sitting in them side by side made the decision easy. Senna seats have given me just enough extra legroom to make the driving position perfect.
