Far to much testosterone over on that thread to bother to comment on it but Sone swapped his aventador for a hurracan.
I have 2 people I know that both drive both on a very regular basis and both have been totally blown away by how quick the car is. Also if it were quicker than aventador, Lamborghini would not want to publish that info openly to take sales from its big brother.

I had to jump out quickly and catch the tenners that were flying out of the exhausts in depreciation!

Good to see you and your collection Paul. Thank goodness I wasn't in that photo. Would've ruined it!

Terrible weather but a nice cup of tea and a drive in a Mclaren made it better!

Tispkj - thread hijack as I didn't want to post on the porsche forum given it's uh not about a porsche.

Re track tyres

You cannot find toyos in the correct rear sizes for the 12c anyway. Cup2s or Trofeo R (make sure it's the 650 approved 99Y load rated trofeo than the 103Y rated one used on the P1) are your best bet and always run the car in track mode suspension. There is not a lot of clearance between the rear diffusor and tyres, especially so if you have the cf diffusor and the 12c doesn't really like square shouldered rear tyres and has been known to either damage the tyre arch linings (expensive) or even the diffusor (very expensive if cf).

If you are prepared to run 10mm spacers at the rear it should definitely be fine for any 305 section trofeo/cup2, possibly even the wider 315 toyo. I will be running cup2s in oem sizes in march without spacers on my car which possibly is a risk but will see how it goes.

If that were the case, it would only remain unknown until the cars were tested by magazines along with "faster than an Aventador", "650s slayed" or other such.....?
