Lotus Elise with the top down and Lancia Beta Monte Carlo (only smoking slightly) between Ak and Hamilton yesterday

I'm surprised that someone took their Lancia so close to the coast... It probably shed half of its body weight in rust on the way back inland.

De Lorean yesterday coming off the motorway at Wellesley St East

I saw one just by my house (East Auckland) with the rego BTTF. I had the full body kit from the first of the trilogy. I assume it?s been seen many times before at events.

This has only been registered for 7 days. Absolutely gorgeous. Would love a drive.

They all look like the same car to me with a bit of black paint sploshed here or there depending what they are supposed to be

Last week, in the opposite direction an Urus in dark blue (rego UR??) and yesterday a Q8 in white.

The latter seemed a lot more muted in the flesh than in the preview reports.

The Urus? From the glimpse I got, an sexy but awkward looking SUV. I understand what they're trying to achieve. but unlike the Cayenne, Bentayga and even the Levante which evolved from shapes that could scale up to the larger format, no Lambo design could ever manage it gracefully.

that's the simple reason why they went brutalist on the LM002

Almost worthy of being in the ugliest car thread if they weren't brutiful. It epitomizes some of the garish design of the 80's.

It was originally designed as a military vehicle, I don't think it was ever intended to be sold alongside the Countach and Diablo.

I love the new Urus

Best lamborghini ever! I mean after all who doesn?t love a rebadged Audi SQ5 with a loud paintjob and a engine with VW/Audi Logos stamped on the parts


schattenblau

closer to q7/8 than 5     ;D

the toyota c-hr looks like a mini-urus if you squint really hard.

it would even be half decent if it a better drivetrain.

I haven't taken much notive of the Urus (expensive SUV, meh) but is it THAT ugly?

yeah, by comparison the Bentayga is actually quite restrained



but the Cullinan looks like an overinflated range Rover

The Bentayga looks good on the road. Cullinan less so, but better than the images.

spotted a white Cullinan on the M3 yesterday, it looked pretty ordinary
