Only 40? That's even rarer than the Mini Clubvan!
This is peak Doug viewer comment
assuming there are 40 rich idiots that will fall for this BS
It's still rarer than my car of which there is only one in the world, by virtue of me owning only one car.
It’s even rarer than the Mercedes R63 amg
That’s even rarer than your mom.
Which is true, your mother is one of a kind to raise such a wonderful person like yourself. Make sure to call her often and make sure she’s doing well.
The door release is needed if the car has flipped over. The scissor action would prevent the door from opening if it was upside down.
correct
So I suppose the same goes for all the other lambos. Didn't think of that plus their window are small. Crawling out would be a bummer
Exactly...that makes alot more sense than for fitting onto a transport truck.
Buzzkill.
The Mercedes SLS has explosive charges in the hinges of the full wing doors to allow for opening if it rolls over
The door release is to easily swap the doors with your friends who have the same car in a different color to create some cool doors/body color combo.
Also check your local flea market for good deals, but you have to get there early.
You can also drive without them to save weight.
What is The Name “Essenza” Named From?
@@bellachou8513 it means essence
Imagine a track day race with all of these crazy track only hypercars like the Huayra R, FXXK Evo, Bugatti Bolide, Essenza etc
Throw in the P1 GTR too 😮💨
It happened last year
@@PolarArctica senna gtr
Never forget 599xx
Lamborghini is turning into a modern day coach builder, using existing platforms to make endless limited edition special runs - offered only to a select number of hand picked customers.
Like mclaren
Reminds me of bugatti
"hand picked" = boomers with too much money
@@tommy_g35 or worse, irresponsible and uncultured social media influencers/content creators
@@tommy_g35 boomers that will never drive the car like it was designed to, I might add.
I don't have problems with people buying extremely expensive cars, as long as they drive it like it was made to, rather than letting it collect dust in a garage.
4:14 Pulling the doors out can be useful for rescuing a driver too. If the car has crashed and they are unconscious, it's easier for the marshals and safety team to quickly remove the door and assist the driver as soon as possible.
Yup. Not to mention if you flip the car and have scissor doors you are trapped. It is NOT for the mirrors…. It is for safety
Was thinking the same thing. If it was for the mirrors they would just design a quick release for the mirrors.
I think it also functions as an easier way to get in when you are wearing helmet and suit
This is actually the prime reason.
Lmao Doug always makes me laugh with his crazy hypothesis when he doesn't know the purpose of certain things.
Imagine buying a car for 3.5 million but technically not owning it, just using it here and there on a racetrack. I wouldn't even do that in GTA Online lol.
You can still take it home. Doug is wrong.
@@AP13P Oh, you sure? Because some car companies did that already or is it all false - or just in this case?
That’s how Ferrari did with the FXX. But if you had enough money, why wouldn’t you? You pay to have experts look after your car, and you can show up and «race» whenever you like?
On top of paying millions for a car that you don’t get to take home, how much do they charge to transport to the track “anywhere in the world” and back to Italy? Also the maintenance before and after track day. $3.5 millions and you’re just getting started. This just seems like a money grab for Lamborghini.
@@JonBecker81 imagine you have billions. How much would you pay to have a team prep your racecar for you?
The door release seems like more of a safety thing since its a racecar, easier to remove if the door is smashed up or something
its required if the car is upside down. how the hell would you open the door.
It isn't a racecar, it is a toy pretending to be racecar.
@@PointNemo9 best comment ever, this isnt a race car at all
I think the door release is there to get the driver out in case of an accident (car upside down).

Throwback to when sls amg had explosives in the doors lol
@@haberdasherrykr8886 SLS Door: oh no, the door can’t open I guess I’ll have to *SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST*

@@x-90 POWERRRR!!
Doug’s wife: “Pls come home”
Doug at the Cars and Bids Headquarters: “I’m at home.”
HA HA HA 🤦♂️
"I am home."
Doug I've been watching you for a long time. Whenever I think you've 'made it' and cover a car that's just beyond all belief, you always seem to top it off even further! What a beauty of a machine!
The sidepod air intakes are more for the cooling radiators and rear brakes than for feeding the engine. The top intakes will feed the engine for combustion and the open rear end of the car is better for cooling.
The doors are removable so you can quickly throw them in the trash when you damage a side mirror.
@@theterriblepuddle1830 grammar police alert !
@@sarmadabrar185semantic police alert*
@@theterriblepuddle1830 You are right. I am sorry.
Doug needs to review a Datsun next to balance things out.
czcams.com/video/nbxQ4vMsMwg/video.html

Like a 240z? Those aren't so cheap either!
The only cheap Datsuns are rusted to dust. To balance this out, he'd have to review a first year Nissan Versa on its fourth transmission that would bring only 3 grand on a car lot.
Or an Altima....!!!
I think the model he should review is a 120Y
"You buy it and Lamborghini keeps it for you" Screw that. If I bought it, I own it. That means it stays in my garage and gets moved around on my trailer, to the tracks and events that I want to take it to. If Lamborghini wants to offer a shipping service to take it to distant or overseas tracks that's one thing. But if I can't see it and use it whenever I want, that means I don't really own it.
Best part is, Lamborghini aren't the first ones to do it
Imagine walking into a dealership, buying a car, and leaving it there only to be able to touch or use it when they say you can. Who says they won't be using your car or doing stuff with it without your permission. Basically you're paying them millions to "borrow" a car from time to time that they'll always have
@@DAventador44 Who is it then?
@@Amarjit_Singh Ferrari did this before, but I can't guarantee that they were the first
@@S41t4r4 That's not true though. That's a myth and there's an article on roadandtrack titled *'Ferrari Requiring XX Owners to Keep Their Cars at the Factory Is a Myth'* busting this myth.

Seriously! Smfh
yep. was gonna say that. Been to a few of those events at Road Atlanta. Saw Shumi's F1 car run a couple times. Love that sound.
What is with all the porn links in this thread?
I love how everything in this is all about practicality, like the Screen mounted on the roof or the Camera next to it mounted on the roof as well with the wires sticking out of it, it gives it such a Raw feel, it's the opposite of a dressed up luxurious car.
It's basically a racecar, and that's what makes it overpriced considering it's a striped out Aventador with bucket seats, richer running engine and a loud exhaust.
@@jwalster9412 exactly 💯. A gutted aventador tuned for track that's what it is really. I like it though
@@alwaysdriven it has surprisingly close dimensions and what looks to be basically the same main monocoque as the Aventador, would not be surprised if it's exactly the same car just with a less street legal engine, semi slicks, and a "re tuned" body aero.
I still can't understand the concept of paying 3.5 million US dollars for a car and not being "Allowed" to take it home.
The fact that its not street legal is not an excuse because I can transport it myself by hiring a truck to move it. What would happen to your car if Lmaborghini as a company went under? Or if it came under new leadership and the new leader decides you are no longer allowed to drive your own car but instead they will hire a professional race driver to race the car on your behalf while you sit on the passenger side?
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior if you have $3.5 million, for a car you probably won't drive often, then you probably also have many people to transport your cars around..
Love the Doug score on this one, truly realistic and well deserved
Doug that screen is not only for reversing. Its quite literally the rear view mirror. All modern racing cars like GT3 and LeMans cars have them.
The DIF toggle adjusts how fast the differential locks up under wheelspin/wheel speed differences.
anybody remembers Sesto Elemento? it's still crazy to me how the car weighed under 1 ton
driving a V10 that weighs that low must feel so good
I’ve heard that Sesto elemento hit 0-60mph in 2.3 second!! With just under 600hp. Such a shame they didn’t mass produce them
@@DiaperSNiFFER kinda adds to the appeal imo. I I also have a scale model of it
@@DiaperSNiFFER It was track only so mass producing them wouldn't mean much to Lamborghini.
@@DiaperSNiFFER I remember the Top Gear dude saying "it's the most alive vehicle he's ever driven"

Cars and bids in the beginning is the best advertisement Doug has got it down I never skip through I like seeing what’s on cars and bids pausing looking at each one and picking which one I would want I chose the 435i
Hey Doug, not every air intake is for the engine lol. Some if not most is for cooling.
Cooling the engine
Ram Air intakes.
One of these were on track display at the Velocity International at Laguna Seca a few months ago. You truly owe yourself to find audio and video of it barreling around the track.

Now, I know what you JUST heard him say was, "race car built for the track", but what every owner of this car heard is "car I will literally never even switch on and forever keep in a vault because it's a 1 of 40 multimillion dollar car"
Except Lamborghini keeps these and brings them to the track you rent
@@IraqVet0608
If you choose, yes. If you want the car in your location that can be arranged, obviously.
@@Sheridantank no you can’t take it home because Lamborghini doesn’t want people driving them on the street like what happened with Mclaren P1 GTR’s
@@GarretRB money talks
@@GarretRB if Jay Leno said he wanted this at his garage Lamborghini wouldn't hesitate to oblige
4:40 I don't think so , its for rescue driver in case if accident happened and fail to open door manually .
The screen isn't just a reversing camera; it's basically the rearview mirror. Most GT race cars today utilize this screen as a rearview mirror.
it looks a bit more like an LCD info display thats in most gt cars but yeah youre probably right
I'm pretty sure that door doesn't come off to "fit" in a narrow truck to transport the car. That's plain silly. They could have made removable mirror to make it narrower.
In case of accident in the track and the car flips upside down that scissor door cannot be opened, so there is another way for the driver to come out.
Doug is too busy counting his cash to do deep research
saying Doug Demuro doesn't do research is just flat out wrong lol this dudes whole deal is his thorough reviews focused on the littlest of details and features.
This is true, but probably not something that is on the front of the leaflet from laborghini about this car. You are not going to remind your customers that spend 3,5 million that they might not be as good of a driver as they think they are by talking about crashing.
You have to imagine trying to get in and out of this car while it’s in a trailer. Even with the scissor doors there’s still the carbon fiber tub to contend with.
@@binarysic The thing is, it's not really about whatever is in front of the leaflet. It's about Doug fabricating a reason that simply isn't correct. Most likely someone said it helped with transportation, and Doug assumed without further question that this must be the main reason for that feature.
And this is just an annoying trend that he has shown lately, where he will go out of his way to mention features and then list things that are literally wrong/lacking a ton of context. It kinda defeats the purpose of basing a channel on "quirks and features", when he then misinforms about half of them. Same goes with "these vents are to feed air to the engine", when in fact most of them are just for cooling, not to feed the engine.
He kinda comes off as someone who is in the middle ground between car salesman, and car enthusiast. He likes all the quirks and funky details and stories, but he presents most of them like a car salesman presents a car: aka, by telling half stories and making up the rest on the fly. All in all it just lowers his credibility, because you can no longer trust that what he says about a specific feature is actually correct.
*A FACT:*
There is no car wing that Douglas would not call "huge".
Pretty sure there was a wing last week he called subtle
@@mtumasz Nah, that was a lip spoiler.
@@lw1878 tru that but yestraday’s wing was only large
I'm sure the folks at the dealership walked him through the features of the car before hand and he is correct when he's says the removable doors are for transport.
If you noticed he had trouble getting in with the door installed. Now imagine doing that in an enclosed trailer with multiple Essenzas everytime they have to transport these things to and from an event.
I'm not saying that their purpose isn't also to aid in driver extraction. But the ease of transport reason does make sense and isn't doug being ignorant
Everyone wants to have the chance to correct the man that is almost never wrong.
I think transport is the thing. This car isn’t meant to compete, so owners will not risk everything and get into accidents.
Stunning vehicle, Doug
And a video matching that. Great job :)
However, although you made a very reasonable argument for the door-removal-situation, I personally believe it was made for easy fire-fighting/rescue
I did the tires on this car lol! It was at my job for a while here in Las Vegas.
Got to see it on track and it surely was amazing! Still have the used tires for show in my workshop haha
3:30 I think most stockcar/nascar have fixed doors but a lot of other types of racecars (GT, LMP, DP, DTM etc...) have hinged doors.
Yeah only nascar stock cars have fixed doors, in every single other category i can think of the cars have normal hinged doors
Dont ever compare nascar to real racing pls
@@mikecekic2393 You can complain all you want but NASCAR is as real as any other racing series, bit boring because of the similar-looking cars but that doesn't mean it doesn't take skill or that the drivers aren't "real racers"
@@sen_ex how is it real racing
@@mikecekic2393 That's a pretty daft question, it's a form of endurance racing, what is it that you don't get? Or do you think that driving a 800hp V8 manual car that handles like a bar of soap at 350+ km/h for hours on oval speedways (cus i assume you think nascar is just racing on oval tracks) is easy? Lol
Sometimes I just enjoy more when Doug reviews some quirky 90' minivan than some $2M hypercar. Am I the only one??
no. hypercars are boring and they all look like a sport bike helmet
@@yungboicontigo9278 seriously, dude? 😂
@@henriquenicolau i mean... They are not boring, but sometimes i just prefer an Oldsmobile Siluete over a Ferrari F50🥶🥶🥶
@@yungboicontigo9278 bro chill out
@@yungboicontigo9278 hey, don't talk like that about the Siluete! 😡😡😡
im so proud of you Doug for having a chance that car reviewed🇵🇭🇵🇭
Lotus in the past: add lightness
Lambo: add nonsense, remove plates.
It's a racecar. Oh, where does it race?
@@BlagoStoyanov it looks like a hypercar, but is used for track only so very uncomfortable and slower than real race cars a fraction of the price.
I hope the speedtail look catches on to more regular cars; it's such a beautiful design.
I really hope it does not. The look is bad, too long.
Doug is the kind of guy to talk about sticking your hand into holes right as my mom walks by the open door to my bedroom lol.
I think the door release is there for safety.. in case if the car flips.. also it's lot easier to build a removable side mirror than a removable door.
Absolutely insane
What an amazing chassis. Looks so good. Every model based in this platform has been amazing looking.
@@yungboicontigo9278 wouldn't exactly call this "another Aventador"
The Sian and Countach? Yeah, definitely. But this has a sesto vibe to me
@@yungboicontigo9278 so is the FXX K and people don't call that "another LaFerrari"
The Sesto Elemento is based on the Gallardo platform but heavily modified and people don't call it a Gallardo
I wouldn't blame you or anyone for calling the dumb special editions "just another Aventador", but this is far from being just another Aventador
@@yungboicontigo9278 This one actually doesn't share too much components with the Aventador like a Sián or Centenario does.
Excellent video! I actually learned something I didn't know about this car
Imagine buying a 3.5 million car but not be able to take it where you want but lamborghini keeps it and tells you what you can do with it.
How does doug not know what a Motec is? He can tell you about the grocery bag divider in a 2002 volvo s60 but doesn't know what an engine management system is.
Illustrates the difference between car collectors/enthusiasts vs performance and modified car enthusiasts.
Whenever Doug reviews a real race car, he makes fun of GT3RS owners. I would do exactly the same.
Same right here. GT3RS owners are the butt of all jokes 😂
Absolutely awesome video. Never even heard of this looks amazing!
Ever since I saw the Cars and Bids teaser for this car I’ve been waiting for this video to come out it’s so amazing
I want to see someone take one of these to an autocross event, lol.
Asking again for Doug to give a Quirks and Features review of driving cross country.
Saw the Essenza in action at the Laguna Seca invitational late last year. That exhaust note was insane!
Dude! this is one of those cars that would really like to see you review
4:15
yeah and for safety, I imagine it helps when you need to get the driver out as fast as possible and the car is upside down...
90% of the owners of these will have 0 idea of what they bought or how to use it
I love all the videos that you have to show. I have learned a lot about cars. Thank you.
The red switch next to the master switch on the windshield is also a fire extinguisher. (for emergency personnel if you get in an accident and can’t press the button inside the cockpit)
I think the door hinge release is in case the car rolls over so the door can be opened since it’s a scissor door, not to just be able to do something about the mirrors.
Looks like Doug worked up a sweat just getting into the car! 😂
Thanks. I always appreciate these reviews of exotics that most of us will never see, let alone own or drive.
Doug needs to start doing race track driving reviews so we can see him drive these kinds of cars
That would be an insurance nightmare for everybody involved. There's a reason even Top Gear only gives these cars to "Captain Slow" James May or whomever their overly cautious cohost is.
I have to applaud their ability to keep selling Aventadors under different names. There are enough people that get off on having something rare, might as well keep milking them.
Yeah, all of these car companies are going crazy offering one or 2 special edition cars every year. Bugatti, Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren ect... I'm a car guy and I can't keep up.
It is also quite saddening emotionally-wise lol.
When you make multiple special-edition cars they no longer are special.
Just for the Aventador alone we have: Veneno, Sian, Centenario, Aventador J, the new Countach and this one. Also, I am pretty sure I am forgetting a few
@@HAFBeast91 But none of automakers you mentioned ask for 5-7 times (or more) the price for a rebodied version of a car.
Saw notification, and here I come.
very good video doug thanks i hope there will be video about veneno.
The large red button above the E within a circle symbol is the Emergency cut off switch which turns off all electronic systems and the engine in the event of a crash. Most notably F1 cars have a similar button marked with the E within a circle, it is not in the cockpit but near the right sidepod so track marshals can easily reach the button and disable the car after a crash. The fire extinguishers will probably be automated like in most race cars, only activating once smoke or fire is detected within the cockpit.
I don’t ever remember Doug posting new videos on Sundays. Isn’t normally Tuesdays and Thursdays? I could be wrong tho…
He has on his other channel I think
@@ChillTrades91 but his other Chanel is Essential dead, 8 months since last Video?
He's been doing it for a while.
He started posting Sunday car reviews after abandoning More Doug DeMuro
@@yungboicontigo9278 your mom likes living under this rock
9:52 I'm not sure but I think this screen is meant for an instructor to see what the driver is doing. I say this because it clearly has shifting lights above it. These cars require a lot of training to be driven properly, and generally the buyers of these cars aren't exactly highly trained racing drivers. They need some assistance, and with a screen like this an instructor (part of the whole racing program that is included with the purchase of the car) can monitor them.
It's a MoTeC screen, which normally links to the Car's VCU / Telemetry
Would pay this much for Ferrari V12, but never for Lamborghini.
I love the GT3 RS seat comment, dying laughing.
Nice
I guess I was too excited but I thought we could hear the sound of the glorious engine 😔
The forward door release is probably also a safety feature. So if you wreck on the track they can pull you out. I know last time I was on the track they required me to keep the windows down for the same reason.
Ive been waiting so long for this 😫
If you think I would pay over 3 million for a Lamborghini, only for Lamborghini to take it back and store it somewhere. You are out of your mind.💯
Ferrari does the same with their FXX line, nothing new
@@DAventador44 You're so misinformed.
Check roadandtrack article titled *'Ferrari Requiring XX Owners to Keep Their Cars at the Factory Is a Myth'*
@@Amarjit_Singh my bad then, I just remember hearing a lot about it
You pay $3,5 million but Lamborghini keeps the car, takes care of it and ships it anywhere for you to drive it. So it's like being a professional driver but paying money instead of earning it.
5:40 I love when doug picks on prickly porsche owners 😂
I love how doug had to prove to us like 20 different ways that its a racecar, as if we didnt believe him
Sometimes you just need a glass of milk when you're driving your 3.5 million dollar hypercar on a hot day
“It’s so damn not… Milk was a bad choice.” - Ron Burgundy
I hope some Essenza owner actually puts milk in the water tank
Agreed. Especially if you don't add the option air conditioning.
No, it squirts Campari and soda in your mouth.
Your going to have to replace the seats at a specific time. Real race car seats time out after about 5 years or so.. thats insane to consider being a maintenance item.
Not really as this isn't a "real race car". It's a car made with race specs that will never be used to race. So the seats won't be worn out.
@@Sheridantank yes it is. And they won't wear out they "time out". Clearly you've never built a "real" race car. Even the seat belts and fire suppression will "time out" and all need replaced.
@Ivana Notyers argh matey
I love how Doug says “THISSSS”
imagine checking on your app if your super expenisve Essenza is still at it's place and then see doug running around :D
Considering this is a track car i'm baffled you think the emergency door release is because of it's width and not for marshall use...
Sometimes I wonder How Doug posts so often.
He travels around a lot and records tons of videos that he then drip feeds on his channel over the span of several months, he may have a few weeks or something where he goes around a records lots of video footage and he just releases them as he sees fit.
Crazy awesome car. Thank you for sharing with us
Coming back to watch this the revuelto got a lot of inspiration from this
This is at Lamborghini Newport! I work there and saw it in person. It is huge when compared to the senna and p1 GTR and the quality of the paint is unmatched!
If I’m paying $3.5 million for a race car I’m keeping it in my garage

Nice, let's go.
Works every time
Saw this car on display at the Rolex 24 @ Daytona. AWESOME!!!
I respect what Lamborghini are doing. Selling overpriced crap to idiots. Special edition car 345 isn’t so special at 10x the base model price.
Atleast this one is good and special enough to justify the price unlike sian centenario veneno and the new countach, basically this is the only good rewraped Aventador

Would be insane if Doug reviewed the Isdera Commendatore 112i. New owner is based in California. More people should know of this concept car!
"I know! Let's slap a crazy body kit on an Aventador and charge $3.5 million for it! Brilliant!!"
-- Lamborghini
Except it is bespoke and made by Lamborghini's racing department. It only had the Aventador engine.
Can't wait for the YTP where Doug talks about the massive gaping hole.
😂
🤣🤣
Yes I was waiting for this
Sesto elemento review is what I'm waiting for
$3.5M to basically rent a car 😂
Wow, supercar ownership is now turning into a subscription based service.....
As previously mentioned by everybody the door release is a safety feature, but I love to imagine that they we're thinking about holding the rearview mirrors with a couple of titanium screws but couldn't afford the weight, so they went for the whole-door-get-yeeted dissasembly option
It's not, you can still take it home unlike with XX program Ferraris.
So long as people keep paying car companies will keep pushing to see how far they can go. Cars are going to be appliances in the future like cell phones and that’s not a world I want to live in
Abobe now Lamborghini next you might end up with a subscription-based marriage.
I have to say, it’s refreshing to see a car where 60% of the time isn’t showing us the menu sunscreen you have to access to adjust the stereo volume.
I almost died at doug's pronunciation of the veneno
