The Lamborghini Huracan Performante is powered by 5.2-litre V10 engine that churns out 640PS of power at 600Nm and when compared with regular Huracan, there is an increase of 40PS and 40Nm. The engine is paired with seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and power is sent to the road via an electronically-controlled all-wheel-drive system.

In terms of design, the Lamborghini Huracan Performante gets the sport cosmetic enhancements, new bright colour option and several race-spec features.

When compared with regular Huracan, the new Lamborghini Huracan Performante is 40 kg lighter and It becomes possible because of Lamborghini’s proprietary forged composite carbon fibre. The car’s front bumper, rear spoiler, engine cover, bumper, and diffuser are made up of this material. The cabin also features more of the forged composite carbon fibre components like AC vents, paddles, door handles and centre console. There is also a new dashboard showing the status of the active aero system.
