Car and Driver recorded some truly incredible acceleration times<\/a>. They managed to launch the Huracan to 96 km\/h (60 mph) in 2.5 seconds flat. To put that into comparison, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport completes that sprint in just 2.46 seconds while the Caparo T1 takes 2.5, the McLaren P1 records 2.6 seconds and the Lamborghini Aventador 2.9 seconds.<\/p>\nFor the Huracan, an incredibly brisk quarter mile time of 10.4 seconds was also set (faster than the Lamborghini Aventador) and only bested by the likes of the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. A trap seed of 217 km\/h was recorded. These times make the Huracan faster than the Porsche 911 Turbo S.<\/p>\n
Beyond the uprated engine, the new transmission is a key contributor to these figures. Dubbed the Lamborghini Doppia Frizione, this new transmission provides seamless gear changes without interrupting torque. One of the most interesting features allows the driver to hold down the left paddle shifter while braking.

It has become somewhat standard in recent years to race new supercars against military spec fighter jets. As a result, we\u2019d always suspected that the Lamborghini Huracan would be pitted against a fighter jet and in Russia sooner or later and that is exactly what recently happened. The race staged is very similar to the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":190,"featured_media":105377,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[66,32525,3],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105357"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/190"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
