Lamborghini Huracan Performante is the fastest production car around the Nürburgring test track

Italian car maker Lamborghini announced a new tuned version or shall we say ‘Performante’ version of the Huracan. The new Huracan Performante is the latest from the car maker which made its debut at the ongoing Geneva Motor Show.

The new version has been designed for the one who want pure performance and features the most powerful V10 engine by the company till date.

Lamborghini has used Forged Composite carbon fibre to make the front and rear spoiler, engine cover, rear bumper, and diffuser to make the car lighter. Then there is a new active aerodynamic tech where it can switch between maximum downforce and low drag setups by adjusting flaps in the front spoiler and at the rear.

Inside there is lightweight forged composite carbon fibre material for the AirCon vents, paddles, door handles, and centre console. Also a new display on the dashboard shows the status of the active aerodynamic system.

As for the performance, there is 5.2 litre V10 is rear-mounted engine that produces 630bhp and 600 Nm of peak torque. The new engine uses titanium valves, a revised intake, and lighter exhaust. There’s a 7-speed dual clutch transmission, rear wheel drive and a top speed of 325 kmph. The combination of the power and light-weight design, the Huracan Performante set a production car lap record of 6.52.01 min on the world famous Nürburgring track which is five seconds faster than the Porsche 918 Spyder.

The Huracan Performante will arrive later this year in various markets, although there is no confirmation if it will launch in India.
