Based on the automaker involved and the name of the vehicle, it should come as no surprise that the 2018 Lamborghini Huracan Performante is a high-performance coupe ready to thrill anyone who gets behind the wheel. It is far from practical with space for two passengers and has a less than stellar fuel economy. However, you still get decent mileage, and most sports cars only seat two comfortably anyway.
Style
The Huracan Performante was designed to express its extreme performance. There are spoilers in both the front and rear, both of which are made entirely with Forged Composites. This allows for actively exploited aerodynamics via the ability to adjust downforce as you need to. Look to the wheel rims, and you will find new Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires. They are sure to provide the grip you need, even at high speeds.
The interior continues the performance-oriented styling of the Lamborghini Huracan Performante’s exterior, showing off a cockpit that aims to be the quickest. All interior materials are of the highest quality, including carbon fiber seats with Forged Composite interior components and Alcantara upholstery. Lamborghini chooses every material with luxury as well as weight in mind, keeping the Huracan Performante’s weight down to maximize performance.

Behind the Wheel and Under the Hood
If you get the chance to get behind the wheel of the 2018 Lamborghini Huracan Performante, you will be in for a treat. The V10 engine is even more powerful than in previous models. Plus, it relies on Forged Composites to drop its weight. You can control everything via the LDF 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The ALA active aerodynamic system is also new, controlling air to direct it where you need it most. With this ALA system, Lamborghini aims to maximize downforce when cornering and minimizing drag at speed. This system is impressively enough able to adjust its parts in under half a second.
For those interested in specifics, the Huracan Performante never fails to impress. The 5.2-liter V10 takes premium unleaded fuel, which is expected for a model of its class. You will get 14 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway, figures which are about on par with the competition. In terms of output, the Huracan Performante delivers 631 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 600 Nm (443 pound-feet) at 6,500 rpm for torque. This leads to an impressive weight to power ratio of 2.15 kg/HP. As a result, the Performante only needs 2.9 seconds to sprint from a standstill to 62 miles per hour. With various driving modes, the Huracan Performante performs on the track without sacrificing ride quality while you are on the main roads.
