Geneva Motor Show 2017: Lamborghini Huracan Performante Unveiled

Lamborghini Huracan Performante

To achieve that high-performance standard, Lamborghini has built the car with the company's proprietary Forged Composite carbon fibre, which has been used in the making of the front and rear spoiler, engine cover, rear bumper, and diffuser. The use of lightweight components has helped Lamborghini to bring down the weight of the car by 40 kg. The car also employs the company's Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva, a new active aerodynamic tech that allows the car to switch between maximum downforce and low drag setups by adjusting flaps in the front spoiler and at the rear. The cabin also features the lightweight Forged Composite carbon fibre material for the AirCon vents, paddles, door handles, and centre console. The Huracan Performante also gets a new display on the dashboard showing the status of the active aero system.

The motor comes mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission that sends power to the rear wheel and propels the car to do a 0-100 kmph sprint in just 2.9 seconds before reaching a top speed of 325 kmph. The updated engine uses titanium valves, a revised intake, and lighter exhaust. The seven-speed dual clutch transmission still sends power to the rear wheels.
