Although it doesn’t reach its maximum speed, this soundtrack makes it seem like we don’t even care.
The visual aspect of this project is not particularly exciting, though. The video begins with an exterior view showing the Lambo’s 5.2-liter V10. We are then treated to a satisfying sound from the Performante’s twin pipes coming out of the middle of the rear fascia. This trim produces 630 horsepower (477kilowatts), which is enough power to propel the Lambo to speeds of 62 mph (100 km/h), and 124mph (200 km/h), respectively, to reach a top speed 325 km/h (202mph). That’s Lamborghini says it will do.
These stats are put to the test by a series acceleration runs. The camera then switches to a closer-up of the Performante’s instrument cluster after the Huracan entered traffic. You’ll see data showing acceleration times and speeds. There is a noticeable speed difference to the cluster. This is not unusual for cars at higher speeds. In this instance, we will accept the telemetry as the more accurate figure.
What do we see? The Huracan Performance isn’t slow at all. The Huracan Performance sprints to 100 km/h in just 3.02 seconds. This is almost as fast as Lamborghini’s supercar. In just 5.94 seconds, the second run achieves 100 km/h – 200 km/h speeds. The final run is even faster, with the Huracan accelerating from a standstill at 315 km/h to 200 km/h and running from 0 to 200 km/h in 9.2 seconds. Although these numbers are slightly lower than Lamborghini’s, it is possible that the Huracan could have reached its maximum speed with more space to run. A difference of three-tenths to a second between 0 and 200 km/h could easily be attributed many factors like weather, altitude, tire conditions, etc.
However, the real highlight is the powerful sound the V10 engine makes when it’s fully fueled. Relax, take a deep breath, and let your ears enjoy the Italian concert it deserves.
