Cape Town - 0-100km/h : 2.9 seconds. Max velocity: 325km/h. 470kW. 600Nm. Welcome, everyone, to the raging Lamborghini Huracan Performante. Appearing at the very top of Lamborghini’s V10 line-up, the Huracan Performante finally arrived in South Africa, five years after the standard Huracan was launched worldwide. This means it’s now in its final iteration before being replaced by an all new model in the next two to three years.
Basically, you get the strength of carbon fibre in the body, but it’s even lighter than the traditional carbon fibre panels you’ll find on ‘regular’’ Lambos. The forged body parts also have a very distinct look to them, almost mirroring the effect of a granite kitchen top. We picked up the test car at Lamborghini’s new dealership in Century City, heading immediately for the highway and some quiet roads on the outskirts of Franschoek.
Overall though, in Sport mode, it’s one of the easiest ways to get in trouble with law enforcement on the road, which means the more hardcore Corsa mode is best reserved for the track. I briefly put the car into Corsa mode while pottering along the Franschoek pass and found the throttle to be too sensitive to inputs when negotiating the bumpy road surface.
