The Lamborghini Huracán Performante has set a blistering Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time of 6 min 52,01 sec, which makes it faster than the Radical SR8, Porsche 918 Spyder and Lamborghini Aventador SV, and thus the quickest production car round the track.
The Performante is still slower than the Radical SR8LM, but that doesn’t detract from this top lap set by Lamborghini test driver Marco Mapelli.
To make the Performante so quick round the track, Lamborghini put the Huracán on a strict weight-loss programme, gave it a conclusive active aero system and gifted it an increase in power from the naturally aspirated 5,2-litre V10. And the wheels were wrapped in Pirelli Trofeo R tyres, which will be made available to buyers of this car.
We’ll find out more about this special Lamborghini when it sees its official reveal in Geneva in next week.
