this is the Lamborghini Huracan perform
ante or the artist formerly known at the
Gallardo's Superleggera it's what
happens when you put a hurricane in a
cage feed it raw meat and then poke it
with a pointy stick
so faster harder more hardcore more
track focused this is Lamborghinis
answer to the Porsche 911 gt3 hmm we
like wings but this isn't any old wing
this is Lamborghinis new ala active
aerodynamic system and it's very clever
indeed it can operate in high downforce
or low downforce modes but more
importantly can switch the downforce
from one side to the other basically
you've got two air box is here that
feeds air in along these channels up the
uprights and out through slits in the
bottom of the wing but there's flaps
there so flaps closed maximum downforce
flat open reduces the drag increases
your speeds on the straights but the
clever bit is you can shut off one side
and not the other when you're in a
corner therefore increasing the
downforce only on one of the rear wheels
and helping you to turn in genius
I thought you were never gonna ask first
things first let's find out would a very
angry Italian v10 and 631 horsepower
actually sounds like
[Music]
it's very good indeed
it's absolutely sublime the powertrain
pretty much perfect the question we need
to answer here is can we feel all that
trick arrow actually working and the
surprise answer is well yes you can and
it's all down to stability which is
quite a boring word but stability under
braking you can brake so much later than
you thought you could and in those
medium to fast corners the car just
feels totally locked into the road
totally glued down the normal work n
would be wagging its tail properly under
steering a little bit but this thing is
just absolutely keyed into the road of
course if you want to be silly
and turn everything off then yeah you
can be silly but that's just not what
this cars about this car is about grit
suddenly and Nurburgring lap record
starting to make sense the difference
between this car and the standard
hurricane is just staggering what it
gives you is supreme confidence supreme
confidence to break later than you
thought to turn in 150 miles an hour and
know it's not going to understeer it's
just going to stick of course it still
does all the Lamborghini things it's
loud it's brash its outlandish but when
you're on it it also makes you look like
a better driver than you actually are
and that's my kind of car
