Well this should be interesting.

Pretty extreme compared to the past Superleggeras. Big question from most is if this is a factory car or not, based on the 2 men's attire.

Haven't been here in a while, but Is that a Huracan Superleggera? Only possible thing I could think of.


Also, I see a lot of Sesto Elemento in the back.

Indeed. Multiple dealers confirming the car will be shown at Geneva with the Aventador facelift next year; deliveries should be ready by Fall 2017.

There is a rumor that claims Audi's R8 GT should be based off the SL, but equipped with AWD,, but I'm wouldn't get any hopes up since not a whole lot is known. AWD has been a pretty big staple for the company.

Could this be the first ever picture of the Superleggera?

Maybe upclose, but certainly not the first shots of it.

Haha, I can't believe I've forgotten about all the other pictures.

Also, apparently this is the Perfomante version of the Huracan.

The article of MT's Jonny Lieberman driving the Performante round Imola is out. Car has more power, more torque, is lighter and has an entirely new active aero system. Also he heard Lambo people mumble a 6.52.something lap time around the Nurburgring.

Wow! The Ferrari 488 did it in 7:21 and the 991 GT3 did it around 7:20 too, if that's true than that car is extremely fast!

You can read Automobilemag's preview here as well. Basic same stuff as MT's if you're after the juicy bits.

[AudiMan2011]

So it's got some sort of F-Duct style aero system or something? Because it doesn't look as though it operates like a proper DRS.

 

[AudiMan2011]

A 6:52 Nurburging lap from the Performante. 5 seconds faster than the hybrid Porsche 918. Say What?

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Wow, the cornering speeds on that thing are nuts. 'Ring lap times still don't mean much in terms of comparisons, but that's a seriously impressive lap nonetheless. Props to Lambo for that.

The 6:52 Performante Car? That was in early October 2016!

Lamborghini have got some explaining to do.

Edit: Also, remember in the video comparison that the video shown on behalf of the 918 is the 7 minute lap time NOT the 6.57 plus it was lapped back in 2013 which in comparisons to now where the track has been resurfaced in most areas to gain more traction.

 

[JC_Dude]

Yeah, I suspected the video might be sped up slightly. Not enough for anyone to notice at a glance, but enough to make up for the 10-15 second difference.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

It's not like VAG has a history of lying...

Oh.

There's a comment in that article that I think really sums it up well:

All this is exactly why I think McLaren never released their P1 data. Lap times are so dynamic not just because of the recording data but also on weather, road, tyre, track temp. Lap times at the Ring should be left to what it is. Testing. Development. I actually respect McLaren a bit more right now. Even if their pace was lower than the 918's.

Honestly, 'Ring lap times have become this sort of high watermark that has lost any and all meaning that it didn't have much of to begin with. Absolutely, if you want to post videos boldly claiming 'this is what we are doing to our sports/super/hypercar, testing it on the 'Ring' then go ahead. But I don't think many people really care about the distinction anymore, or the numbers. It's a non-existent pat on the back, the automotive equivalent of slapping a quote on the back of a DVD case for a movie or a game.
