So 4 times SCCA_World_Challenge Champ says the car does not understeer and Monkey Harris says it does and is for people who can't drive.......hmmmmmmmmm, think I trust the racing driver over the fast journo

Looks very fast on the track !

Trofeo R Tyres are simply amazing on the track. Got to be worth at least a second maybe two on that lap.

Never understand people that scrimp on their tyres and buy budgets when the car is only attached to the road by 4 pieces of rubber.

Car still looks and sounds good though and adequate for posing

Mind you not a mention of the 650 or Scud so could have been worse!

hahaha.. can only hope for severe depreciation to kick in on those 650 s things to force our most annoying thread poster valuation troll into a nice deep depression....

With the various track times the Huracan is posting I am surprised there is not more noise being made about them. Incredible car.

Oh my.....

I've always wanted one of these despite the luke warm reviews. I mean I REALLY wanted one.

After watching that video I think I've had a small stroke.

Epic car. Love it, love it, love it.

Congratulations to Sone and the others who have worked hard enough to be in the enviable position of owning one.

I am suitably envious.

Off to get my lottery ticket right now.............

Hmm,

I think I trust Harris over a random yank on a very unsatisfuying track covered in sand giving 4wd a clear advantage. Also anything with a corvette above a 911GT3 suggests power over balance is the order of the day. Not convinced.

Randy Pobst a random yank?
I suppose the Top Gear time was down to fluke as well!

For sure it's one of those cars that got a kicking first time round but is now being fully appreciated as a full on supercar.
Suddenly it's being rated over the aventador by many people.

No need to imagine. Drive H.R Owen's Huracan with the sports exhaust upgrade, the sound is indeed epic.

In this age of smaller capacity engines with forced induction, Lamborghini really should be applauded for sticking with NA power.

So much of this understeer / oversteer is down to suspension settings which can be adjusted to suit what you want.
As a general rule 4wd will tend to want to push forward but that can be adjusted out, and as said above somewhere not really relevant to any of us and its primary role is not as a Track car either.

It's not entirely impossible that Lamborghini took note of the all the early criticisms about the understeering nature of the car and tweaked the suspension set up up on later cars
The early reviews from Chris Harris and Jethro Bovington etc were some time back now, so it's entirely conceivable that the car Probst was driving in the Motortrend review was a later revision car

Maybe this will convince you. The Huracan has been quicker than the 991 GT3 on all 5 tracks they've both been timed on.
