I drove both the same day, .1 RS and Huracán Performante.
The Huracán is much more powerful, nimble and feels a lot more like a raw race car. It’s more sensitive to weight changes by the accelerator and brake, it will need more inputs from you when driving fast than the GT3 RS. The Porsche really feels like an easy and relaxed car compared to the Lambo.
I really like Porsche but this Huracán is one step above.

I own both. And you asked about notable differences in terms of driving characteristics. Not which one is better. Now everyone turn their Porsche bias down.... if you can.
The RS has better steering feel. Specifically on turn-in and front end grip/feedback. You'll feel more precise with it. It also feels more nimble and easier to corner in shorter/low speed turns due to that steering confidence and rear wheel steer.
The Perf. has amazing handling. The faster you're going, the better. However, it does have a small amount less steering feel upon entry of low speed corners....not much though. Can't undo the characteristics of all wheel drive. But you'll be on the throttle sooner and accelerating faster out of the turns for that same reason. The power is an extremely significant difference, everywhere. Performante brakes are better as well.
As far as driving the cars overall. You'll enjoy the trust you can put into the feedback of the RS. It will 100% let you know how much you can push it and where to do so. The accuracy of the RS is it's forte.
In the Performante, you'll enjoy the trust you can put into the entire car...... of it being able to handle waaay more than most mortals can even think about attempting at any speed you're going. And it should come standard with diapers.
