  1. https://www.quattroruote.it/prove/2017/lamb...erformante.html New lap record at Vairano track as well. Performante now holds 3 lap records contidrom, Autocar dry, and Vairano. Also Chris Harris likes the car at Top Gear https://www.topgear.com/videos/chris-harris...can-performante

  3. Some new info: "Maurizio Reggiani, Lambo’s chief engineer, says that downforce is boosted from just 40 kilograms at 300 kilometres an hour to over 350 kg" "Reggiani says that in standard trim, a Performante can generate as much as 1.3 g’s of cornering force; up its tire game to PZero Trofeos and the number approaches the magical one-and-a-half g’s mark." "Does it (ALA) actually work? Fantastically well, thank you very much. Even compared with the advanced 720S McLaren unleashed a couple of weeks ago (and the GT that Ford won the 24 Hours of Le Mans with last year), the Performante is a veritable track weapon, a car that literally puts the “super” in sticking to the road like glue." http://driving.ca/lamborghini/huracan/revi...can-performante
  4. 6:52:01 Nurburgring production car lap record. Bravo Lamborghini!
  5. Motortrend article says that Nurburgring lap time is rumored to be 6:52.x which makes it faster than Porsche 918 and is a production car record. http://www.motortrend.com/cars/lamborghini...rive-downforce/
  6. Cool R8! I do wish you supercharged the 560 though.
  7. Sorry, this was a V Max event, not a drag race

  9. This race came off better than I expected. The Huracan is still a surprise after all this time.
  10. Just saw this on another forum. Another pleasant surprise. I thought the Turbo S would always win in a drag race against its peers.
  11. LP670 SV did 7:42. It was a slow lap relative to LP 640 (7:40). Maybe due to uncommitted driving. http://fastestlaps.com/laptimes/4b2df83e4566a.html
  12. I have an idea for how Lambo can comply with the emissions rules that is causing this hybrid adoption in supercars yet stay awesome. Lambo should put the hybrid battery and motor in a removable module that snaps into the trunk of the car for emissions/fuel efficiency certification. When owners take home the new car, they can just snap the module out so the car returns to its pure form without the excess weight and complexity of hybrids. The hybrid module can be built cheap. A disposable item to be put away after the car is purchased. The rules are stupid, but we comply.
  13. To the real Lambo owners, these N ring laptimes may be irrelevant. In fact, in practical terms its a pointless bragging contest for 99.9999% of humanity. For an arm chair racer like me however (a lambo fan with no lambo), the SV ring record drew a palpable change in attitude from Lambo fans and none fans alike. If you read other forums, everyone is saying they did not expect Lambo could go that fast. Attitudes are changing and the SV is smashing the Lambo stereotype. The best part is the SV is gaining all this new cred without loosing any of its essential lambo qualities - it still looks great, sounds great and 100% lambo DNA.
  14. It would be great if Lamborghini can test the car on Pirelli Trofeo R tires at the Nring and beat the 918 time. Lambo can then offer the tire as an option for SV buyers. Ultimately I expect the 918 to beat whatever time the SV sets, but it would be nice to hold the series production car record even just for a few days or weeks.
