The 2020 Lamborghini Huracán EVO will make you look forward to any of your visits to the track. It boasts an impressive top speed of 202 mph. It takes only 2.9 seconds for the Huracán EVO to go from zero to 100 kph (62 mph). It takes just 9.0 seconds for the Huracán EVO to go from zero to 200 kph (124 mph).
Model: Lamborghini Huracan
Number of cylinders: 10
Horsepower: 449 to 471 kW
Engine: 5.2 L V10
Curb weight: 1,542 kg
Transmission: 7-speed automatic
Dimensions: 4,520 mm L x 1,933 mm W x 1,180 mm
The 5.2-litre Audi-sourced V10 now produces 631bhp and 600Nm of torque. It delivers incredible acceleration, along with a deep, growling soundtrack. It takes the Coupe from 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds and on to a 202mph top speed. The Spyder version completes the sprint in 3.1 seconds, with the same maximum.
Three increasingly aggressive driving modes are selectable via an ANIMA switch on the steering wheel and, perhaps most significantly, the old automated manual box has been ditched in favour of a lightning-fast and perfectly smooth seven-speed twin-clutch transmission – the same as the one found in the Audi R8.
We can remember a time when a Lamborghini was considered a flashy but undynamic supercar – a car that could go fast in a straight line but lost out to the competition around the bends. Those days are long gone: today two Lamborghini cars occupy the top four spots for the fastest production cars to have ever lapped the famous Nurburgring, and the Huracan Performante, considered a baby Lambo, sits at number four, besting supremely capable cars such as the Porsche 918 hypercar, and even its bigger sibling the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce. So Lamborghini has finally shaken the undeserving stereotype, and the Performante, which sports impressive race-bred tech such as active aero, carbon-ceramic brakes (and more carbon composite than you can shake a hundred dollar bill at) has proven once again that Lamborghini not only knows how to build a fast car, but knows how to build some of the most dynamic supercars the motoring world has ever seen.
What’s New?
The Huracan Performante was first revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in 2017 and gained updated features such as new lightweight technologies, active aero, a new chassis setup, and all-wheel-drive. The high performance of the already impressive Huracan has narrowed its focus to offering an exhilarating driving experience on and off the track, and features the highest output V10 engine in its class, although that last claim is partly because most of its direct rivals have gone the V8 turbocharged route. “The Huracan Performante is the convergence of technological developments to produce a car delivering perfect performance,” says Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stefano Domenicali.

Huracan Performante Exterior
When the designers at Lamborghini started work on the Performance, they had one thing on their mind; to make it as aerodynamic and efficient as possible, so the exterior changes are cool and calculated and not exactly fueled by a romantic passion for gracious and flowing lines. The Huracan Performante is built on a hybrid aluminum and carbon fiber frame, and the body that sits on top makes extensive use of aluminum and Lamborghini’s award-winning forged composite material. This innovative material gets used on the rear spoiler, rear engine cover, rear bumper and diffuser and results in a significant weight reduction of 88 pounds. One Of the most noteworthy exterior features is the inclusion of Lamborghini’s Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva active aero system, which, in combination with Lamborghini’s Piattaforma Inerziale management system, can control all the car’s electronic systems on the fly – which means the Huracan Performante can control its active aero system in less than 500 milliseconds.

Dimensions
The Huracan Performante sits low and squat on the ground, giving it a seriously purposeful look, and most people will be surprised at just how small it is, especially when compared to its bigger sibling, the Aventador. The Performante measures in with a total length of 177.4 inches and a width of 75.8 inches, growing to 88 inches when you include the wing mirrors. With a height of only 45.9 inches, you can start to imagine how low this car is. The front track is 65.7 inches wide, and 63.8 in the rear – the Performante rolls on a stubby 103.2-inch wheelbase. Lamborghini’s extensive use of lightweight materials such as carbon-composite and Aluminum has resulted in a car that’s 88 pounds lighter than the standard car, and the official dry weight comes in at 3,047 pounds. With the lightweight V10 in the back, the weight distribution measures 43/57 % front to rear.null

Exterior Colors
Any Lamborghini car with the word ‘Performante’ stuck to the end of its title better have the show to match the go, and Lamborghini hasn’t let their buyers down: the Huracan Performante is offered in a selection of over 15 exotic colors that all fail terribly at making the Performante look ordinary. The color palette for the Performante consists of two oranges, our favorite being the Arancio Borealis Pearl, three whites, blue, yellow, gray-black, green and red. New buyers can select between classic flat, metallic, pearl, or matte, and we believe the Performante looks best in a pearl finish. If we had the money to buy one of these Italian exotics, we would go for one in Giallo Inti Pearl, a stunning yellow, or perhaps Grigio Nimbus Metallic, a menacing dark gray which gives the Huracan a sci-fi spaceship look that’s hard to ignore.

Huracan Performante Performance
When the word performance is in the title of the car’s name, then you’d obviously expect something special, and, oh boy, does the Huracan Performante deliver the goods. The Huracan might sit below the Aventador in Lamborghini’s supercar range but will blow the doors off of a standard Aventador around the track, most notably the Nurburgring, where it set a new production car lap record of 6:52.01 in 2016. That record has since been toppled by the Lamborghini Aventador LP770-4 SVJ with a stunning time of 6:44.97. The numbers continue to speak for themselves: the 0-62 mph time gets smashed in only 2.9-seconds, 0-124 mph is conquered in 8.9 seconds, and the Performante will go on to a top speed of around 201 mph. Acceleration is brutal, and the linear powerband is appreciated, while highway runs feel more like taxying a fighter jet on a runway.
Engine and Transmission
The 5.2-liter V10 engine found under the engine cover of the Performante is mechanically identical to the unit found in the Audi R8 and makes use of racecar-like features such as a dry-sump oil system, a compression ratio of 12.7:1 and titanium valves, which allow for higher valve lift, which in turn increases performance. When all is said and done, the Huracan Performante delivers a serious blow of 631 hp at 8,000 rpm and 443 lb-ft at 6,500 rpm. A revised air intake system and low-weight exhaust system work together to offer lightning-fast throttle response and a sound that should only be heard when visiting the racetrack. Power is sent to an electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system with rear mechanical self-locking differential. The Huracan Performante benefits from a sharp seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and its shift characteristics can be altered via the ANIMA system for a more relaxed driving experience around town, and razor-sharp shifts around the track.
