Article: V10 vs. V12 - Lamborghini Aventador runs a Lamborghini Huracan in a standing kilometer drag race for sibling on sibling action

No real surprises here.
Nice to see them on a strip though.
They are fast cars in factory trim.

Big brother versus little brother. V12 versus V10. Lamborghini versus Lamborghini. That is what we have here as our Russian friends managed to pit the Lamborghini Huracan against the Lamborghini Aventador in a standing kilometer drag race. Who would not want to see that?

The Lamborghini Huracan is obviously smaller, lighter, and less powerful. The 5.2 liter V10 of the Huracan on paper puts out 610 horsepower which means it gives up just about 100 horses to the Aventador 6.5 liter V12. This particular Aventador features and exhaust and tune said to put it at 730 horsepower which is well within reason.

The Huracan does send its power through a dual clutch transmission to all four wheels whereas the Aventador uses an ISR (independent shift rod) unit. Both cars obviously have all wheel drive.

The Aventador has more power and torque but it also carries about 650 more pounds of weight. On paper this should actually be close with the Aventador having a top end advantage.

The Aventador gets the jump off the line. It holds its lead through the standing kilometer. As expected, the Aventador has the higher trap speeds but the Huracan is very close. With some mild tuning the Huracan can close the gap.

1/4 mile:

Huracan: 129.71
Aventador: 131.15

1/2 mile:

Huracan: 160.00
Aventador: 161.74

Kilometer:

Huracan: 170.23
Aventador: 172.73

looking at the speed at the end of the race, the Huracan was catching up..

The 60 ft on both cars is nice but a 1.5 60ft on the aventador is awesome!

Yes but how do they measure the 60 foots at these events? It isn't the same an NHRA strip I don't think.

Maybe because I'm not 45 years old yet, but I love Lamborghini's, they're original, they're edgy, they're loud. I want one.

That's sad if it's only there for show , I guess we get a little spoiled here.

I'm not saying it's for show just saying it is different timing equipment.
