As Singapore enters its worst recession in 55 years, with a 13.2 percent economy shrink for Q2<\/span><\/a>, Singaporeans are reeling in the aftershock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, not all Singaporeans seem to be affected by the recession \u2013 and there could be hope for our economy, with local influencer Naomi Neo buying her first Lamborghini Hurac\u00e1n at the age of 24<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whoever said millennials were useless \u2013 I hope you’re having a good day too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naomi Neo has remained tight-lipped about the exact price of her Lamborghini Hurac\u00e1n. A quick check on Lamborghini\u2019s official website reveals that hers seems to be roughly the equivalent of a Lamborghini Hurac\u00e1n Evo<\/span><\/a>, and Singapore\u2019s Torque Magazine reported in 2019 that it’ll launch at a list price of close to S$1 million without the Certificate of Entitlement (COE)<\/span><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is a Lamborghini so Expensive in Singapore?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cars, in general, are an expensive luxury in Singapore. This because of two factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. High road density<\/li>
  2. High population density<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Did you know that in 2019, roads in Singapore occupy 12% of its land area, whilst housing, a necessity, occupy a mere 14% of its land area? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Coupled with Singapore being the third most densely populated country in the world with 7,804 people per square kilometre, it only makes cents<\/em> that the government would want to limit the number of vehicles on the road, lest we become congested like our neighbors in Kuala Lumpur<\/span><\/a>, Malaysia<\/span><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Keep in mind that the above mentioned prices only include the base price of the car, sans options. I\u2019ve found this list of options<\/span><\/a> to include in the Lamborghini Hurac\u00e1n for the model year 2016, because being an exclusive brand, Lamborghini likes to keep its prices under wraps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You\u2019ll also want to spec out your Lamborghini with options because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. What\u2019s a luxury car without luxury options?<\/li>
    2. Having lots of options means you can customise it exactly to your tastes<\/li>
    3. Some basic necessities like Bluetooth and cruise control are options for the cool price of US$1,000 (~S$1,390) each<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s a common practice with the \u201ccheaper<\/em>\u201d luxury marques \u2013 Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are notorious for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The #1 rule of buying used luxury cars is NEVER BUY CHEAP! Luxury cars are usually the early adopters of automotive technology, so when it goes wrong, it goes horribly wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Tyler Hoover, an ex-car salesman from the US, now runs a YouTube channel called Hoovies\u2019 Garage. His one million-odd subscribers can\u2019t get enough of his \u201cautomotive masochism\u201d, where he finds the cheapest (and unsurprisingly, most problematic) luxury cars on the market and tries to fix them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
