The Lamborghini Huracan Performante dares to stand up to the all-powerful Ferrari F12

The world of supercars is characterised by a clear sense of competition among its members. Without a doubt, these kinds of vehicles are in constant battle, aiming to prove which is the fastest, which is logical since speed, performance and power are everything for supercars. On this occasion, we find a dazzling Lamborghini Huracan Performante with the guts to stand up to the Ferrari F12, one of the most powerful Cavallino Rampante in history.

Both models – although one of them has already been replaced – show technical characteristics worthy of admiration. On the one hand, we find a perfect balance between power, purity and rationality, something the Lamborghini achieves with the help of Audi, but without tampering with the essence of the Italian supercar. On the opposing side, we find rage, force and passion, three elements that define the Ferrari F12 very well, but that are not enough to take the bull by the horns.

Both the Ferrari and the Lamborghini have been rivals since their birth, something that remains alive today. Not to dishonour tradition, the Huracan has decided to face the F12 in a duel, specifically in a drag race. In this type of competition, not only is it shown who is the fastest, but also which vehicle has better tuning in all aspects.

Without a doubt, at first it may seem like an unfair battle, especially if we consider that the Ferrari offers two more cylinders and almost 200 CV more than the Lamborghini. That’s right, the F12 we can see on screen has a series of exhaust modifications that allow it to produce 800 CV of power, drawn directly from its 6.2-litre V12. Thanks to these elements, the Ferrari F12 is capable of reaching 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds, but the Lamborghini wanted to put the Italian marque’s pride to the test.

The Huracan Performante is presented as the track version of the standard Huracan. Under its skin we find the same 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10, except that on this occasion the power rises to 640 CV and 600 Nm of torque. It is true that only 30 CV more has been added, but where we truly find the magnificence of the Performante is in its aerodynamics, which gives the supercar truly impressive performance.

These elements give the Lamborghini great possibilities to win against vehicles of greater calibre. In this video we can observe how this happens against the Ferrari F12, although perhaps the Huracan should face the 488 GTB head-on, since it is a direct rival. Despite this, the spectacle both vehicles provide is impressive and we could not resist sharing it with you.
