Watch the Lamborghini Huracan Performante Set the Fastest Ever Production-Car Lap of the Nurburgring [Video]
For the past few weeks, Lamborghini has been teasing us with its latest track-ready masterpiece, the Huracán Performante. It hasn’t quite revealed what the car will look like yet, but it has dropped something else: the car’s Nürburgring lap time. And it?s a new production-car record.
Lamborghini released this video today on its YouTube channel of the lap in full, with a view of the front and from inside the passenger compartment. It managed to lap the ‘Ring in 6:52:01, five seconds faster than the previous record holder, the Porsche 918 Spyder.
Interestingly, that’s also more than seven seconds faster than Lamborghini’s V-12 flagship Aventador SV, which set a time of 6:59.73 back in May 2015. This may have to do with the Huracán’s active aero, lower weight, and dual-clutch transmission. Of course, the Radical SR8 LM still holds the fastest time for street-legal vehicles at 6:48, but calling it a production car is a stretch.
