They pretty close, but the Rimac is so much quicker on the straights and maybe Porsche is better under breaking and cornering

Which is the better Huracan, the STO or the Performante?

 

[Tourbillon]

Which is the better Huracan, the STO or the Performante?

Smh.

 

[mihc]

Which is the better Huracan, the STO or the Performante?

On track Performante is probably even faster than the STO.

 

[Jo_Sta7]

Sto is def quicker on a track. HP looks better.

But, I’m not sure of your guys stature, i am 6’3 215. I truly cannot fit in a performante, at all. The steering wheel touches my legs the entire time. No reprieve. I’d be quicker driving minivan than a performante simply bc I can’t fit at all. It’s pretty crazy in 2016 or whenever it was they built a car that crammed.

Lambo had to swap the Potenza Race semislicks for Potenza Sport due to very wet conditions.
The bit about Cup 2/Trofeo R is an asterisk disclaimer referring to other cars in the lap time chart. It has nothing to do with this Huracán.

Also they dynoed the car at 605 PS (adjusted for losses) vs claimed 640.

That 750S is simply sensational and in another league above the Corvette.

Hm. Isn't that a let down? Just 1 sec quicker than the M4 Comp. xDrive was in the supertest ...

Haven't watched the video yet but I expected a 7:25 or thereabouts.

That was even my "minimal" expectation! I haven't read the article/test yet ... but there must be an explanation for this mediocre result by Christian Gebhardt!
The M3CS should have like 40+hp more than the M4 Comp. xDrive, be around 20-30kg lighter and has some optimizations in drive-train/ZF8HP software as well as suspension/bracing tuning!

So, it should make easy around 5 sec. on the Ring!

I guess weather/track-condition wasn't very good. If sport auto is also testing the upcoming M4 CS on the Ring, we will see the true potential! I bet we will see a 7:22.

Actually Gebhardt did well. His laptime was just 3.3 seconds slower than the laptime done by BMW M test driver Jorg Weidinger.

Good point! But what does that mean then: The CS variant isn't much quicker than the "normal" Competition xDrive on which it is based on! BMW ///M isn't doing official laptimes with non CS/CSL variants ... so we have to conclude it via sport auto laptime results ...

 

[DeDe]

Cold air (6 Degrees C) and cold track (10 C).

You pay for 2 seconds faster laptime, a bit faster acceleration and 20kg less weight 46.000€ more than what normal M3 Competition xDrive costs.
