GoHardGT3RS:

I agree that '6.52 something something' as claimed by Lamborghini for the Huracán Performante on the Ring sounds quite unrealistic for a 640 PS car of 1.4-1.5 tonnes.

On the other hand, the AMG GTR with 585 PS (and no active aero as the Lambo) has managed a 7.11 measured by the German magazine SportAuto on the Ring...

Pre-production car, special tires...and so on. Not really a review I would want to take in consideration for the final street version. Smiley

The Performante is indeed only 40 kg lighter but since all those weight claims from Lamborghini and Audi (Huracan and R8) were always weirdly off to the real product, it is also possible that the new Performante actually weights the same as the current Huracan. Wouldn't be surprised.

However, if Lamborghini did their homework (ABS setup of the Huracan on semi-slicks was a catastrophe), improved a few things as well, added active aero, rear wheel steering (still needs to be confirmed) and 40 hp (rumored power is currently 650 hp) plus improved tires, it is possible to achieve a time close to 7 minutes. No doubt about it.
