Lamborghini Huracan Performante Sets Nurburgring Production Car Lap Record

[Bouncer]

The speed at which this thing goes into blind corners is insane.

Beat the Porsche 918 by 5 seconds!

Damn! That was fun to watch

[Mr I]

It's exciting that such a great name now has a car that not only taunts power but it gets it to the ground and handles corners with the best if them.



Maybe a dumb question but are you saying that would beat a maclaren F1?

Maybe a dumb question but are you saying that would beat a maclaren F1?

the 90's car? or do you mean the new Mclaren P1?

yes it would destroy the mclaren f1 production car from the 90's and it beats the current mclaren P1 by 6-7 seconds.

[Bouncer]

just looked it up. the mclaren f1 Promotional XP5 prototype did a 7:11 in 1996. but that was a special edition. it was not the production model.

so yea this lambo with a 6:52 lap time would destroy a standard mclaren f1 by something like 25 seconds per lap.

Awesome video! Is that a hybrid like the 918? Probably could have been a second or two faster if he wouldn't have short shifted half the gears.

i dont think it is a hybrid no.

as for short shifting. there are some reasons for it especially on a sharp twisting and hilly track like the nurburgring. it boils down to balancing the car. you would never short shift on a track like monza for example.

Short-shifting is where you change up a gear before it is needed; In other words, you change up a gear before you have used up the previous gear.

Why would you want to do this? Well this is a valid question because short-shifting almost always means you will be instantly losing some power and torque due to being in a higher gear than is necessary.

Well there are two main reasons.

One reason is to purposefully take away torque from the wheels. Maybe it is a bump / slippy curve and you will be unable to use the full torque of the gear you would normally be in, so it might be a safer bet to be in a higher gear to reduce the likelihood of sudden wheel-spin, etc.

The other (and more common reason) is to save the time taken to change gear. Lets say you have a tight 2nd gear left-hand bend, followed by a long straight. You are at about 2/3 revs as you approach the apex.

You can either stay in second gear and use the extra torque to accelerate as quickly as possible.

Or you can change up to 3rd before you need to start accelerating and sacrifice the extra acceleration for the time saving in not having to change gear.

A judgement has to be made as to which would be quicker. In race driving this is normally already tried and tested for your formula on the track you are racing on so it is often pre-decided. In rallying it is less clear, and probably slightly less important.

The main reasons you would use short-shifting in rallying would be for balance rather than outright time and speed. If there was a twisty section ahead for the next 50 yards and you will need 1 up change in the middle of it, you may decide to get the change done before the complex to avoid upsetting the car mid-way through it.

its a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V-10 chuck. apparently only produces 640hp. its real advantage is its active aerodynamics. lambo have figured something out that the hyper cars like the P1 and 918 haven't apparently. those cars both have almost 400 more hp than the lambo yet the lambo has blown them both away. insane.

Lol.

Lol.

do you know what monza is? do you know what I mean by balancing the car? it's about settling the car on an unsettled track. monza for example is a flat and settled track, no changes in elevation, no sudden drops.. very different from the nurburgring. explain your laugh or shut your fucken 125lb passive aggressive faggot mouth. if you don't know that gearing and how you use those gears can have a great effect on how a car handles into a corner or a sudden drop then you should stfu because you obviously know the square root of jack shit about auto racing. :)

I get what you are saying. Just funny. You've never driven a car on a track.
