Huracan Performante
Discussion
Evening,
I’ve had an itch for a while like many to buy a Performante. I’ll use it on track a few times a year & generally take it out when I fancy a blast.
I’ve seen the below & welcome any guidance or thoughts.

Lovely car. I got one in Jan and it’s very enjoyable and a long termer as I’m genuinely snookered as to what I’d move to next. One thing: If you’re tracking you may wish to consider the carbon buckets. Saying that the comforts are super sets. Must haves are lift. All else is inconsequential.
I own it’s predecessor, a Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera. Have had it 5 years and become intimate with it and Gallardo in general. Whilst this is a Huracan, the potential pitfalls are similar.
My main piece of advice is that if you are not buying any Lamborghini from a Main Dealer, spend a few hundred quid on getting an independent Pre-Purchase Inspection. It is money well spent. Ideally the inspection will include a full system interrogation that will tell you all sorts of interesting information, such as how many Launches it has had, % driven in Strada, Sport, Corsa, mileage verification (mileage is not just recorded on the odometer) and so on.
Huracans (and Gallardo) have been known to have displayed mileage “adjusted”.
On the face of it though, looks a decent car.

I have Spyder, comfort seats are grippy enough for a track day and bonus is you can drive home without slipping a disc.
Also has cruise (so no blank button on the wheel) and the additional Lambo warranty, 5 years rather than the standard 3, so that’s a plus too..
Window tints are non standard so I’d have those off, other than that looks pretty unmolested.
Good luck!

How do you use that information to make a decision? I suppose any number of 'launches' would be a deterrent but what about proportion of time driven in each mode? Doesn't tell you much about the way it has been driven does it?My main piece of advice is that if you are not buying any Lamborghini from a Main Dealer, spend a few hundred quid on getting an independent Pre-Purchase Inspection.

Mileage would be a key one to check as I heard of a car that made it through a Lambo dealer with adjusted mileage. Apparently it's stored in three places in the car so cannot (easily) be modified in all three registers. Google reviews for the dealer look positive which is a good start https://tinyurl.com/27pdcnfa.

I’ve done loads to f launches in my gallardo. Now I know it effects resale I’ll not stop doing it 😀My main piece of advice is that if you are not buying any Lamborghini from a Main Dealer, spend a few hundred quid on getting an independent Pre-Purchase Inspection.

I think one of the old posts dicussed this in details. There are multiple sources of the information which are used by the factory to verify the milage. in short, there are three chips that record mileage in Huracan, ECU, TCU (also called gearbox eprom) and main dash/navigation. i think technically you can flash ECU and maybe TCU (early days probably yes but Lambo since then upgraded the securty architecture which makes it extremely hard if not impossible). the navigation/telemetry unit is the hardest one to crack as it records total milage, engine on time, average speed and other info independently even you don't use them. it also records how many times a user has filled the tank, the number of rotation each wheel has done, etc etc. it is quite hard to manipulate all of these data. main dealers can easily spot the clocked miles by connecting it to the diagnostics - that's why there was a discussion about clocked miles. if you buy from independent dealers, just spend a few hundred and ask a main dealer to run a diagnostic.

Not sure I would want a car that has had multiple launches and driven everywhere in Corsa. Would make me suspect it has spent quite a bit of time on track.

Cheers for the info gents. Informative & really eye opening!
All considered I’ve given this one a miss in search of one from a main dealer, yes a few quid more but I don’t want the experience scuppered by getting the wrong car. Confidence from the main dealership is key for me.
I would say that is a wise decision. The H Perf is new enough to be available from a Main Dealer pretty easily. Give Craig Cairns at Lamborghini Pangbourne a call. He will be very likely able to help source one even if he doesn’t have one in stock.

You'd think if you were clocking a car (I believe thats the old fashioned term..) you would have put it back a bit further..... Lots of scaremongering on here as usual...All considered I’ve given this one a miss in search of one from a main dealer, yes a few quid more but I don’t want the experience scuppered by getting the wrong car.

The mileage is just one thing that can be checked. It is not the only thing. So well done for picking one item out of a list of prudent checks to make and turn it into scaremongering accusation. That said, I don’t disagree that if you were going to do it, do it properly and run it back a good deal further. It is unlikely that the mileage on that car is incorrect. But it is prudent to check it, along with the myriad of other things a PPI would cover.
