Lamborghini Huracan Performante Nordschleife record

This thing just smashed the production car lap record held by the Porsche 918.
Really impressive! (probably using a less than production-ready or legal setup, but impressive nonetheless)

 

No wonder, you can clearly see the death-skull-mode enabled at the instruments.

 

Yeah, I don't necessarily trust Lamborghini or any manufacturer including Porsche without hard data about the test, which of course no one provides. Glickenhaus wants to do something about it, but that's to be seen. The video is still nice and the lap an impressive feat nonetheless.

Something to consider for current records though, since the 918 record and the NISMO GT3 crash the Nordschleife changed and was repaved in several stretches, kerbs changed, some jumps flattened.

 

Yeah, nothing's regulated, just as it was with the Aventador SV, I doubt these cars would see which way a 918 went after the first few corners, but they are impressive cars regardless.It was a really nice, clean lap, and you can see that the car has nice chassis balance and pretty good grip to maintain those corner speeds, even though it didn't seem like he was really "pushing" it, also a bit of shortshifting involved. (have no idea why)
Regarding the Nordschleife, I think Sport Auto's tests are the most informative and useful for comparisons, but even there they have quite different scenarios when they test the cars (that's how real life works).

 

It's what I found most impressive about this video, that lap really seems rather relaxed yet still quick.

 

Cheater tyre be cheating.

Still pretty quick tho, but yeh.... Nords is a terrible track for comparos (driver and weather factor), and nowadays the tyre situation is quite out of control.

 

In this regard AC is actually a much more fair environment to test cars than real life, lol.
I want to see a Viper ACR lap, that one might get under 7 minutes as well.

 

One word: wow. His racing line was almost perfect!

 

He lifted before Schwedenkreuz jump, they all lift there, but in AC we can go flat there np...

 

Well, you can easily tell that the car could go flat easily.

 

The driver lifted and short-shifted a lot across the whole lap. Doesn't say anything about the physics in Assetto Corsa.

 

*Flugplatz is faster now

 

Crazy fast but

Skeptical as always.

Standard Huracan lap time 7:28....


625 hp (25 more over standard Huracan)

1524 kg (40 kg lighter than standard Huracan)



-ten per cent increase in vertical stiffness and 15 per cent less roll, with the arm bushings improving radial and axial stiffness by 50 per cent. And if you combine that with revised active steering

-rear wing and more aggressive front splitter with active aero front and rear

-P Zero Corsa has been developed with Pirelli specifically for the car and features new double-compound technology

 

imho Active aero > tires > lighter > other small improvements (stiffnes etc.) > power

 

The problem with the 918, all you can see, is that on final straight the batteries are on 0% load.

 

Tires > Everything else

 

@William Levesque: I know at least one person who disagrees .



Obviously, the only legit way that we can verify if this car can indeed go under 7 minutes is to have it in-game .

 

Aero + tires > just tires
Thats why Viper is so fast, it's not particularly light (1538kg) or powerfull (645hp)

Btw Viper guys is planing to do a hot lap, imho proper underdog, manual box + 1/2 cheaper then Lambo

 

Well, that's true. But I wouldn't call 600hp + "not powerful". Tyres will make any car fast. Tyres and aero will make powerful cars REALLY fast.

I mean, aero will definitely help on my 100whp car (~1-1.5s/lap on like Mosport), but I cant exactly run a lot of it

 

I get the impression from that Performante video that the car depends a lot on mechanical grip (it seems to have very good tyres for sure) and not aero. Or maybe it's just the weight of the car... But I wasn't sitting in the drivers seat, so no idea really.
