Huracan! Wow, I'm surprised at the win at that distance. I know my Huracan is damn near unbeatable from a dig - but at a 1/2 mile I was pretty sure the 650 or 12c would have caught up and passed it. Maybe by the mile. Oh well.

Although I did see a video of a stock Huracan do 211 at about the mile vs. a 918 which I thought was quite stunning as the Huracan is not a light car with 602bhp.

Makes me happy I own one.

650, 675, whatever will not beat the Huracan in a 1/4 mile from a dig. NFW. Only chance is a rolling start. Even the glorious Testicles (for all you Tesla lovers) can't get it done.

I love my 12C and McLaren but AWD properly tuned to launch (Thrust mode for the H), naturally aspirated, dual clutched, is a hard act to beat. Need a hybrid and more road. In the video of the H vs. 918 (Shmee video) the H was winning until 150mph. i saw that and it helped sell me on the car, plus all the Audi refinements that I like.

I'm not sure pointing a car in a straight line defines how good a car is. Put them on a track head to head with the same driver and see what happens.

"Let's just cut right to the performance figures. The 3,419-pound Huracan is AWD and has a mid-mounted, 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V-10 with 602 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. That howler of a motor sends its fury to a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox. The following numbers were recorded on Pirelli P Zero tires (245/30R20 front, 305/30R20 rear), a good but not particularly aggressive street tire. Zero to 60 mph happens in 2.8 seconds. That's very quick, especially for a naturally aspirated car. Just to give you some context, the Huracan's obvious competitors the Ferrari 458 Italia and McLaren 650S both need 3.0 seconds. The normally giant-slaying Nissan GT-R NISMO hits 60 mph in 2.9 seconds. Granted, a Porsche 991 Turbo S is quicker, hitting 60 mph in 2.6 seconds.

Things get especially noteworthy in the quarter mile. The Ferrari needs 11.1 seconds at 125.2 mph. The Nissan needs 11.0 flat at 126.6 mph. The Porsche needs 10.9 seconds at 123.7 mph. The kooky-quick McLaren needs only 10.7 seconds at 134.0 mph. The Lamborghini Huracan beats 'em all, requiring only 10.6 seconds to travel 1,320 feet with a trap speed of 132.8 mph. A couple of points: Ferrari never let us test a 458 Speciale, and the McLaren 675LT isn't on sale until later this summer. Moreover, the Huracan is quicker than its big brother, the Aventador, which needs 2.9 seconds to hit 60 mph and runs the quarter mile in 10.8 seconds at 132.3 mph."

those are separate tests, different days and corrected.... I just showed you what happens in the real world....

I got 0-60 in 2.61 seconds in the McLaren 650s at the drag strip....

no offense to you sir (thank you for posting the video,) but has anybody tried checking speedometer accuracy on the cars? they don't all misread to the same degree.

my friend's Murcielago speedo said 320, but the VBox said around 293. my 997 GT3 is consistently off about 10kph at higher speeds. Ruf RT12 speedo actually under-reads by a few kph at high speeds.

could be manufacturer calibration, wheel/tire combo used, etc.

my point is simply that speedo videos should be taken with a grain of salt, unless speedometer +/- error margin has been established for a given car.

I know the owner of the huracan. He usually does 1/2 mile in his GTR or his underground racing lamborghini. He told me he got as high as 162 mph in other runs

From my experience at shift sector the 650s consistently is around 160. Although bay area racing put the speed in this video that doesn't necessarily mean that it was during this particular run or even head to head. They usually just ask whenever they find you what type of speed you were doing.
