Forza Horizon 4: The Huracan Performante

The Lamborghini Huracan Performante may be late for the party but the ultimate Huracan made the rounds in the world of Forza Horizon 4 for those who did decent results at this series' Horizon Autumn Playlist, meaning they have the manpower to unleash the best V10 monster Lamborghini ever made.



The Huracan Performante, what is it? Dubbed the better version of the Huracan, the Performante's V10 engine produces 29 more horsepower and 30 more torques compared to the normal Huracan, making it capable of hitting 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds while retaining the original Huracan's top speed of 202mph. Apart from that, the Performante sheds 40kg thanks to using of carbon fiber as well as its fixed rear wing and it features ALA, which Lamborghini claims to be the most clever aerodynamic system ever made, making it more grippy in the bends. Such aerodynamics have made the Huracan Performante lap the Nurburgring five seconds quicker than the Porsche 918 Hybrid.



The original Huracan, which served as the cover car of the second Forza Horizon game in 2014, is one of the most enjoyable cars to drive from the beginning to the Horizon finale and the Performante pushes up a notch with its clever aerodynamics that makes it more enjoyable to drive than the standard Huracan as well as getting used to its monstrous exhaust noise. Glad that Lamborghini still makes V10 engines like this. It's proof that even in Performante guise, the Huracan is the last of its kind and Lamborghini wants to keep preserving this nearly extinct breed for years to come.



Because the Performante is four-wheel drive, just like the normal Huracan, there's a known idea that this supercar can be worth as enjoyable to drive as a Nissan GT-R, even on dirt and snow, and with that, I went to Fortune Island and make the Performante as dirty as possible to see if it's a big laugh even when things get dirty. Ready, go!


It's just like the Huracan I remembered, even dirtier.



Although too little, too late to enjoy the Horizon party, the Lamborghini Huracan Performante really pulls the right moves as the ideal driver's car that takes advantage of its slightly improved performance and its clever aerodynamics that will make driving more enjoyable. It's definitely one of the all-time greats and there's no arguing with that.

Enjoy your new ride!
