2016 Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 Spyder first drive reviewBefore this week, I had driven a Lamborghini once. It was a Gallardo Spyder and I drove it about four miles in the mid-2000s.

While Ferrari's [NYSE:RACE] cars may have waiting lists stretching out more than a year, it’s a different story when it comes to demand for the automaker’s shares.
