    What a brilliant video - thanks for posting.

    I actually saw a Huracan in central London yesterday - 1st time I've seen one in person.

    I was surprised at how much presence it had on the road - definitely looks better in the flesh than on the screen...

    That coupled with this video makes me happy Lamborghini have actually produced a very decent car indeed. ( although there's still a big part of me thinks Lambo should NOT be producing daily drivers...!)

    Fun fun, great video, used Aventador or new Huracán?

    I think the Huracan could beat Aventador on the race track. It is lighter, more nimble, and has one of the best suspension. The video above talked about 0-60mph times ranging from 2.6-3.2s (factory data is 3.2s), that is FAST !

    I would say a Huracan with 2WD and minor exhaust/header mods will be a blast on the track.

    I had someone stop by my driveway last weekend in a brand new Aventador and it sounds great of course, looks even wilder but I think I prefer the look of this green Huracan. It's wild enough but more tasteful looking than the Aventador. That all black interior leaves me cold though.

    I love Harry's videos.
    That green is certainly intense and suites the car perfectly, but I agree with Bob - maybe tan or some other lighter interior would suit better. Anyway the car looks, sounds and (according to Harry) goes brilliantly.
    Interesting comments regarding the cars size versus the Aventador. Unfortunately my Huracan will be even smaller, courtesy of AUTOart.

    Agree with all this.

    Several commentators (like Leno) comment about the size of the big Lamborghini, just as others have commented about the size of the 599, for example. I have a Balboni. It is a great size. I read somewhere that it is 12 inches(?) shorter than a 458.

    Huracan certainly fires up all the senses.

    I just did a quick Google search. The 458 is 2.5 inches longer, has 1.15 inch longer wheelbase.

    Shoot I must have been smoking something. Sorry for the bad info.

    I also did a search:
    Gallardo: 171.1 inches overall length, [Lamborghini] 458: 178.2 inches [Wikipedia] so the average of the two of us appears to yeild something closer to this "reality"!

    As long as you were having fun . . . (I was curious, as a 12" difference would be staggering.)

    Looks like it would make an incredible DD, an Raging Bull on the weekend

    Harry talks about the forced steering on the Huracan, but didn't he have electrical assist added to the steering of his Countach?

    I think I recall him mentioning in one of his videos that he had it installed in his QV mainly for longer highway jaunts. I don't think he drives with it on all the time. Or maybe I'm confusing this with his Espada?

    IIRC Harry doesn't like the Huracan's optional variable assist steering. He wanted to try the regular one.

    Yes, VARIABLE being the operative word. (not electric)
