Pretty sure Lamborghini took one look at BYD's three thousand horsepower supercar eating up the test track at 300 miles an hour and just quietly decided to pivot reinforce "the feel".

Edit: "reinforce" is probably a better word than "pivot" , so I'll use that, just so all those lambo apologists out there don't have to post "iTS aLwAyS bEeN aBoUT tHe fEeL."

At least there's a solid experience with an old gallardo/murcie/diablo. Until someone comes up with something miles ahead of ioniq 5 N levels of simulation every ev will feel the same.

Also hard disagree on the Porsche part, they make a shitload of trim levels then try to make every single one feel exclusive as shit. And there are tons of people who buy GT3/RS for appearance reasons and then complain they're not comfortable, like buddy you're doing it backwards.
With Lambos you get the same baseline, and then they add a bit more power or 4 wheel drive on top for higher end models. Aventador J is powered by the same thing as a launch day Aventador for example.

requires some kinda demonstration of expertise for access to their higher end models.

You say it like gate keeping is a good thing?

Manufacturers should sell products, not make their customers play games like begging for a little more gruel.
