There is a sound you will not hear from a new Lamborghini anymore: a big, naturally aspirated V10 winding out toward the redline. Lamborghini has ended Huracán production, and the lineup is now entirely hybrid. The Huracán and the Gallardo before it were the V10 Lamborghinis, and the Huracán Performante may be the sharpest way to experience one. Our white Huracán Performante is ready for a late-fall drive across Québec and Ottawa-Gatineau, and the clock is ticking before the snow. What makes the Performante special Its 5.2L naturally aspirated V10 makes 631 hp at 8,000 rpm and 443 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm. There are no turbochargers to soften the edges: the engine responds instantly and keeps climbing all the way up. Power goes through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive, and the car launches from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 325 km/h. The Performante is also a showcase of clever engineering. At only 1,382 kg, it uses forged composite body panels to stay light. It was the first production car with ALA, Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva, where flaps in the front splitter and rear wing shift between downforce in the corners and less drag on the straights. Magnetorheological suspension and LDVI torque vectoring keep it composed and precise. At its launch, it set the production-car lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. It is a two-seater, and it is all about the person behind the wheel. Why before winter Late fall is the final window of the season for a supercar on performance tires. Once the snow arrives, cars like this go into hibernation, and the V10 goes quiet until spring. If a Lamborghini rental in Montréal has been on your list, now is the time. An occasion worth marking • A birthday you want to remember • An anniversary for two, with a drive to match • A bucket-list day you have promised yourself for years • A crisp late-fall drive, simply because you can Making the most of a late-fall drive • Check the forecast and pick a dry day. • Give the performance tires a few minutes to warm up on a cold morning, and take it easy at the start. • Plan your route in daylight, when the autumn colours and the low sun look their best. • Respect the speed limits.
