Article Rumours 6.52 Lap Time For New Perfomante At The Ring
Discussion
Looks like the journalists are getting out in the new Lamborghini Performante Coupe and there are unconfirmed rumors of a 6 min 52sec lap at the ring!!!
If that turns out to be true that's a full 5 seconds off of the Porsche Spyder current record

t! There's no way a couple of flaps (along with other modest gains for perfomantes) is going to shave 36 seconds off the standard Huracan around the Ring. It's the equivalent of a teenager putting a huge spoiler, an obnoxious exhaust and a couple of go faster stripes on his fiesta and believes it's quicker than the latest Ferrari!
I'm not surprised it's Motortrend reporting these claims....

The Aventador Sv posted a sub 7 min time and I wouldn't be surprised if the Performante is a bit quicker again. I don't think I've seen a std Huracan time around the Nurburgring although it was the quickest thing around the Gp track for a while.
Huracan 610-4 laps the 20.6km version of the ring @ 7:26.I think you need to read the report in context,Lamborghini refused to confirm a time but those of us with one on order we have been told its beaten the Aventador and potentially set a new record.
If you look at the improvements you have not just aero but Weight,Tyres,Suspension,Geometry and Circa Another 30BHP which added together with the new aero is quite a lot of gains.
Take two standard performance cars side by side and put them to the lap test on a small track of 2-3 KMS and you could well see a variance of 1-2 seconds just related to geo,corner weight and tyre pressures so over a 20KM lap that's a big multiple.
I wouldn't rule it in or out yet but it looks like Lamborghini have done a bit more than the late Night Teenage Halfords Ram Rader trying to make his Vauxhall Corsa outpace a 599 Lol

If they do achieve it, after I finish eating my humble pie, I'm heading to Lamborghini with crumbs on my jumper to place an order.If you look at the improvements you have not just aero but Weight,Tyres,Suspension,Geometry and Circa Another 30BHP which added together with the new aero is quite a lot of gains.

Lambo smashing Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche out of the ballpark.
The Aventador SV 6.59mins Nurb lap is pretty good...

Lambo taking a leaf out of (bad) Mclaren marketing. Hinting to journalists about a frankly unbelieveable time seems rather like Mclaren having various people suggest to journos that the P1 did a lap way faster than the 918......
Unless the new Pirelli trofeos are practically slicks (and even then), that kind of suggested lap is very hard to believe for a road legal car. Let's see what SportAuto get in their supertest....

When you compare the time intervals going up the hill the Porsche 918 ekes out a 10+ second advantage. That's all about power up the hill apart from one high speed corner. I expect the Performante to be fast but am anticipating a time between 7:05-7:10 if their aero trickery is as good as they claim.

I know it's raking up old ground but seriously would Maclaren not have shouted it from the rooftops if they were the fastest around the Nurb? I don't buy the old British reserve story that they are above all that petty boy racing lark!Unless the new Pirelli trofeos are practically slicks (and even then), that kind of suggested lap is very hard to believe for a road legal car.
