On October 5, 2016, the Performante set a new production car lap record of 6:52.01 min on the Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany.
“This new car represents the powerhouse of Lamborghini DNA and innovation, and a 360-degree approach to creating class-leading super sports cars. It illustrates the pinnacle of Lamborghini V10 production car performance to date, on both track and road," said Albert Wong at Lamborghini Hong Kong at the official launch on September 7, 2017.

The design of the Performante is unmistakeably Lamborghini. The rear, in particular, takes inspiration from performance motorcycles' exposed frames and the high mounted exhausts. A major highlight of the car is the newly introduced active aerodynamics system — called “Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva” (ALA) — which sets it apart from previous Huracán models.
