The Lamborghini Huracan is a media phenomenon, the sort of car that can eclipse the sun and grab everyone's attention in a matter of seconds everywhere it goes. It's also a bonkers ride and with a 610 hp output, the fastest naturally aspirated V10 car around.
A few days ago, Thegermansupercars filmed this interesting video of what the Gallardo's replacement is capable if you select the wide-open-throttle setting. Instead of the usual track footage most publications seem to favor, he did what the Germans do: drive flat out on the Autobahn and see if the claimed top speed is real. Yes, yes it is!
Despite some traffic, it wasn't too hard to reach a speed of 329 km/h (205 mp/h) on an unrestricted part of Germany’s highway network. That's higher than the official numbers from Lamborghini, which claim "top speed of more than 325 km/h".
The car feels like it's somewhere between the utter terror of a race car and the clinical way in which a Bugatti Veyron would reach that speed. A futuristically designed interior with sharp edges and all-digital instrument cluster create a sense of occasion. It's also worth nothing that the new twin-clutch gearbox shifts with a sense of occasion, which is what you want from a supercar. Overall, the Italian packaging is well worth the €169,500 (plus taxes).
