how fast is the huracan performante around the nurburgring?
The 2018 Lamborghini Huracán LP640-4 Performante Spyder you’re looking at is the convertible version of a pretty legendary car 🏎️
The Huracán Performante coupe set a blistering Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time of 6:52.01 back in 2017 when it was unveiled. That was a big deal at the time - it snatched the production car lap record from the Porsche 918 Spyder by nearly 5 seconds, and was over 7 seconds quicker than Lamborghini’s own flagship Aventador SV!
That time held the record for production cars until the Performante was eventually dethroned. Convertibles are typically a touch slower due to chassis bracing and weight differences, but you’re still looking at a car that was built with serious track pedigree. The Performante’s active aero system (Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva) and lightweight construction made it an absolute weapon on the ‘Ring.
