True, although I would guess Lambos and Ferraris are engineered specifically for that low volume production. They'd have to do some intense re-engineering and re-tooling to get those cars on a mass production line and pump out hundreds of units/day.

So, in a very Porsche-like manner, the base car is kind of subsidized by people voluntarily adding a bunch of high margin options. |

They'd almost certainly know the curb weight, since they'd have to know much much oil and coolant and such the car needs. So I'd think this is some sort of deliberate choice, the only reason I can think of is because quoting dry weight makes the car seem lighter. No idea where this puts it relative to other mid-engined cars. Oh for sure. There are certain shortcuts you can take with assembly procedures when you know its going to be a human doing the task in the span of 10 minutes instead of a robot that has 30 seconds. To go mass-volume, it would probably be just as cheap to design a whole new car than to re-engineer an existing low volume model. But, if VW wanted the Huracan replacement to sell 30k units a year, they could probably make such a car in a Skoda plant or something (never EVER going to happen ... but funny as hell to think about)

I've never seen this many people jumping ship that quickly ... it's attracting a wide array of consumers. Lot's of Supra/GT500 orders cancelled, lol.
On a side note, seems like everyone is opting for the giant rear wing, I wonder why? I prefer the standard Z51 wing. |

But at the same time, one has to wonder about cooling. The trunk in the back is usually space reserved by other mid engine vehicles for heat extraction. |

lol That's your opinion. Pretty sure you're not the authority on whether a car is beautiful, attractive or special. Don't like it, don't buy it. There will be plenty and there are plenty of people that like this car.
