Aventador
Obviously this is the equivilant of trying on clothes I could never afford:
More to follow just too slow to type on phone. Brutal car especially on a tricky track like Imola

Yeah I'm very lucky! Getting paid to do things like this
Spent last week in Italy supporting a customer events which involved a tour of the Lamborghini Factory and the carbon fibre facility as well as a driving experience at Imola. I was lucky enough to also have a go in the Aventador around the famous Imola track. The best part was the experience of being alone in the car, literally given the keys and told to follow the instructor driven pace car.
Video of 2 laps, seems so calm in the video but I can assure you it's quite brutal with 4wd and 700hp on tap from the 6.5 V12, even with 4wd and 30C+ temperatures the traction control was kicking in. They come standard with 400mm carbon ceramic disks so driving it for a few laps was a bit of a sensory overload as well as redefining whats possible in a car.
You end up going into corners much faster than you think, panic a little bit as the £300k car you are driving seems to be going for the gravel, but the brakes pull the car up effortlessly and you feel like you could have braked later.
Ohlins pushrod dampers are more race car than road car and the levels of grip are immense.
I whimped out and didn't try corsa mode but here's two laps (second one is when the instructor goes for it)

Awesome car, mega money but think it would be definately part of my garage if my numbers came in. The noise and presence is beyond anything else I think, even the Veyron.
Some other pics:
Aventador naked - watched this being built the day before - they make 4.5 cars a day. Full carbon tub with the spaceframe holding the engine on the back. The rear quarters are actually plastic.
Sesto Elemento (and a wall mounted Aventador)
Super Trofeo - Had a passenger ride in this which was mental
LP570-4 Superleggera
Aventador Roadster, a cool €474k as it was below. Looked awesome in the flesh.
