Lambo is last word in luxury
Lamborghini’s impressive Huracan Performante is our Luxury Supercar of the Year.
Lamborghini has taken a superb design and developed it with just one thing in mind: for it to be the fastest. When it comes to weight, engine power and chassis, it has been completely re-engineered.
The powerful V10 engine has been redesigned with fluid dynamics optimised at both intake and exhaust, with the intake ducts coming directly from Lamborghini Motorsport’s experience.
The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission has been developed for the highest performance, as has the exhaust system, which still gives that throaty, vibrantly-thrilling sound.
The active aerodynamics – the Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva or ALA –continuously manages the car’s reaction to the air, adapting to the driving style and type of route, increasing vertical load to hug the ground when needed or moving to reduce resistance for that desired acceleration and speed.
This works in unison with the double wishbone architecture of the Huracán Performante’s suspension for optimum sports performance suitable for day-to-day driving.
The interior is made from the highest quality materials to keep the classic, luxurious feel synonymous with a Lamborghini. The seats are made of carbon fibre, with the upholstery from Alcantara leather. All the materials used are extremely light. Why? Because even the interior is designed to fit the concept of this Huracan: to be the fastest.
Buyers can choose from a whole range of colours for the exterior and the interior, the stitching, cockpit materials and brake callipers, to make their own individual supercar.
Lamborghini reckons the new Huracan Performante has “reworked the concept of super sports cars and taken the notion of performance to levels never seen before”. Anyone who can afford £215,000 for one may well agree.
