Lamborghini did a heck of a job in creating the
Huracan Performante. Lapping the Nürburgring in under seven minutes with “only”
640 horsepower, after all, is no mean feat. But Novitec figures it can
do better.
The German tuner has come out with an array of
enhancements for the ten-cylinder supercar. And while engine upgrades are still
in the works, it’s already revealed a series of components for the Performante
to take it even further than stock.
Things start, as you might have guessed, with a full
body kit that’s made from the same kind of forged carbon fiber that Lamborghini
pioneered in the first place. The package includes a proliferation of wings,
air ducts and other add-ons, all tested in the wind tunnel to improve the
Huracan’s aerodynamics.
Novitec is also offering its NL3 forged alloys to
upgrade the rolling stock in 20- and 21-inch diameters, fitted to a suspension
dropped by an extra 35 mm. And while we wait for those engine
enhancements to come along, the company’s offering a sports-exhaust upgrade
made from high-tech inconel alloy.
As it is, the Huracan Performante is the most potent
ten-cylinder production Lamborghini ever, as its high-revving 5.2-liter V10
kicks out 631 hp and 601 Nm of torque. That’s not
only more than the exclusive Sesto Elemento; it also matches the V12-powered Murcielago
LP640-4. And while it may not produce as much torque, the Huracan’s lighter
weight means it’ll run circles around the former top Raging Bull.
