DoctaM3 Report post Posted April 26, 2019 Definitely always informative. Brooks is really in a niche giving solid, consistent objective numbers. He avoids the fanboy bit and I love him for it. The breakdown of this last video shows why the Huracan keep up so well with big brother to a certain point. That said, I would still take the Aventador as the total package over the Huracan except when I am doing track stuff which is pretty rare for me anyway.

Allan-Herbie Report post Posted April 26, 2019 The SVJ proves you dont need to be the fastest to still be the most bad ass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash Boy Report post Posted April 27, 2019 Huracan has been that sweet spot for drag racing from standstill. The shorter wheelbase and lighter weight help a lot here, where traction is aplenty. SVJ was reeling it in on both runs. The V12 is still the proper bullet train powerplant. But it amazes me how fast the Huracan is overall.

Smash Boy Report post Posted May 12, 2019 After seeing the latest DragTimes Huracan vs. 488 video, I've come to the conclusion that the Huracan is a fast car with an unbelievably blessed package (light weight, AWD, mid-engined, short wheelbase, launch control algorithm). It's probably the best car I've ever seen in that regard because the power/weight ratio is not particularly special, and yet it runs the 1/4 really, really well relative to most other cars. 602hp/413 lb-ft, AWD pushing 3400-3500 lbs is very good, but it's not better than 661 hp/561 lb-ft in a similar weight RWD car (488), or 647 hp/550 lb-ft in another light RWD (Ford GT). Normally drag racers like *longer* wheelbases because it reduces the chance of the front end coming off the ground. But the hardcore draggers typically do it with front engined, RWD muscle cars. The mid-engine AWD car eliminates all of that to the point where the longer wheelbase is a disadvantage (until of course we're talking maybe 1000+ hp or something). The Aventador's longer wheelbase I think hurts it slightly in these close battles with the Huracan. Anyway, Huracan (even Performante) I cannot believe is faster in the real world than the 488 (even the "old" one), 720S, Aventador, Ford GT, F12, 812, and other cars with better power/weight ratios. I know the niche here of DragTimes is drag racing from standstill, but at some point people are going to believe this thing is faster than a 918, P1, ThethetheFerrari, Senna, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash Boy Report post Posted May 12, 2019 Now do this race from a roll, and the results would be even more lopsided for the first two finishers..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t speak for the others, but I can tell you from experience that a 720s will blow the doors off a Huracan, all day long and twice on Sundays.

Speed Demon Report post Posted May 14, 2019 720S is faster in a straight line for sure. Not on a track. It has a 15 second slower Nürburgring lap time than a Performante and feels "loosy-goosey" (technical term) on any track compared to the razor sharp, precise handling of the Perf. Speaking from experience at COTA... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan-Herbie Report post Posted May 16, 2019 720S is definitely quicker than a Huracan. But quicker doesnt mean better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat car, but I don't think I'd take one over a Performante regardless of how it ranks in reviews. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
