Looking Good For Huracan Performante,The New Benchmark
Discussion
Can't say anything specific as you know.
Car is Epic, looks great with a quality yet racy feel to the interior, a really nice place to be, sports seats are excellent and very comfortable, another leap forward!!!
I love that they have stayed with the rawness of the V10 and 4wd in a very reasonable weight package. One thing Lambo are proving for sure is it's about getting the power to the ground to make it useable. Plenty of cars out there with more BHP but it doesn't always translate to performance!
Think Lambo will do well with this car and looking forward to hitting the configuration in Geneva!
No conformation of Lap Time at he Ring but the rumours are rife and sounds like it has crushed the position by a long way
Onto Geneva

Whats the bhp and weight ?
I've always liked the sure footedness of 4WD although the purists will say RWD all the way but for me weight is most definitely a killer. By its nature a 4WD will be heavier
Lighter cars just feel more alive and responsive and it makes a big difference to performance

BHP 640ish but nothing confirmed 100% until Geneva and once the numbers are revealed the weight at just over 1400kgs won't be an issue,hold on to your internal organs or just your organ

Looking forward to seeing the 720S up against this - 80kg lighter and 80hp more vs a LOAD of downforce should be an epic track battle. 2017 starting well.RamboLambo said:

Your move Maranello.
Yes Spyder to follow but the focus now on Performante name (performance ) rather than (Superleggera) lightweight, so in future Performante coupe, Performante Spyder, I will probably order the Spyder soon but its a few years away!
RamboLambo said:
Cool, that's a bigger power hike on Gallardo superleggerra and performante.
With Lambo using the performante name for the coupe ????? does that mean no lightweight spyder edition to follow ?

Much over 600BHP can be difficult to hook up and gain traction,so its not 100% about lighter and more powerful always adds up to quicker. Just look at the GTR,weighs a Ton 550BHP but easily breaks 3 seconds to 100kms
Macca will defo be lighter and more powerful but it has a lot of work to do if it wants to go quicker around a track,its going to be interesting to see what happens?

It would appear that Lambo have found something rather special in this new aero area,weight and power alone do not add up to the new rumored lap time so the bigger gains must be in the aero area but I'm no expect on aero.

McLaren are kings of the aero. Would be massively surprised if with a shed load of aero, more power and less weight a new benchmark will be set before lambo can even announce itMuch over 600BHP can be difficult to hook up and gain traction,so its not 100% about lighter and more powerful always adds up to quicker.

Feel is nowadays engineered
Unless it's sub 1000kg...
And bhp/torque without grip is nothing, so 4wd will always be faster....
Disagree. there is a significant difference between a car that is ~1450 kg fully fuelled (various gt3s, Mclaren/Speciale etc) and one nearer 1600kg (R8/458/Huracan). If the articles are right the Performante drops only 40-50kg which isn't a lot vs the standard car.Unless it's sub 1000kg...

4wd is faster in accelerating at low speeds I agree. apart from that it isn't always faster.
In any case I do find it quite interesting how much the supposed performance of the Performante is now being talked up vs the rest just because the manufacturer said so....

Proof will be in the pudding. At the moment all we have is speculation and hype.4wd is faster in accelerating at low speeds I agree. apart from that it isn't always faster.

I am somewhat more confident
