100% prefer regular CF. The forged carbon or whatever gimmicky name they call it is very obviously a cost cutting measure, which looks out of place in a $330k car. Not a fan at all.

Personally, I think the marbled appearance looks outstanding. It is unique and different and is glossy and shiny. It sets it off compared to the standard appearance. It seems to be a delicate topic, but up close I think it looks very beautiful and befits the car. All other vehicles have the same carbon look, barring the colored carbon shades Ferrari produces (maybe others). The character is particular to the car.

I agree with you on this..I think it gives the Performante its own identity and not trying to follow Ferrari and McLaren.It serves the same lightweight and high strength purpose of the more common layered fancy C/F.If it saves a huge wad of money then so what, as if the amount of C/F the Performante has, was layered then the cost would be prohibitive..Its a win win in my opinion.

Yes and in my view when you are up close to the front splitter or moreso the wing, it looks like a piece of art.

Yes weaves look better ..When i went to look to buy the huracan a few years back.
Iam like what is this ugly looking carbon...i will not buy screw this car.
They should paint it or only use where it doesn’t show.
UGLY!

The regular Huracan (which I owned) and the Performante (which a friend owned and I tried) honestly don't feel that fast to me. Yeah they have great launch control, but outside of that they don't feel insanely fast. In fact, I raced my friend's Performante in my GTS cab which at the time only had a stage 1 tune (not even as powerful as Cobb's stage 1), and I kept up with him fine from a rolling start to 100+ mph. From a standing start with launch control he would smoke me with the AWD, but take that out of the equation and it's just another fast-ish car like the rest of them. I certainly don't feel like it's in another league.

OP welcome to the club. Very attractive car.

When the Performante came out - it was the fastest production car around the Nbring - and its NA. Its still #3 on that list as far as i recall. With all due respect - To say its like all the other cars out there is an ignorant statement and a misunderstanding of what the car is intended for. If you are comparing modded straight line monsters to a Performante - then why do that. There are modded TT's that are faster in a straighline. But the Perf is no slouch at 0-60 in 2.5 1/4 mile in the 10's. Throw in some corners and bye bye competition.

I'd second that from my point of view. I'm glad some others have diverse interests of how to enjoy their vehicles, but for me it isn't racing another on the road head to head. I think the numbers don't lie, and it is a highly competitive vehicle with an interesting historical pedigree and data point on the Ring. It seems the car, maybe the brand is clearly not for some for the looks, or the feel. But that's the beauty of so many options out there. Pick your wish as you see fit. As has been said millions of times on other threads and on other boards, there are so many good cars out there and more than enough to satisfy any number of individuals looking for an amazing supercar to drive. In my view the car feels very different in terms of driving and handling than a TT/TTS, but it is a different experience altogether from the outside and inside. Not going to say better...that's up to you to decide what your mission profile is for the car.

very well put. I know of few cars with the level of performance and as well rounded as the Performante. In street mode the car is as comfortable to drive as my wife’s BMW 5 series.

I really like the perf but can't seem to trade from the 720 platform. Right now I am potentially looking at the Evo but I have a 720 Spider inbound. decisions, decisions

Several bone stock Huracans have clocked 10.4@131 . No GTS cab with a tune is keeping up with one.

SANDIEGO

Not to mention the 0-60 times have been reported between 2.3-2.4 seconds. Its all about having 640 HP NA mid engine with AWD. But the raw handling of the Performante is its real strength. Don't get me wrong I love 911s having owned six 911 variants over the years including TTs and a 991.2 GT3. The Performante is simply in a different league.

HP's are great cars, I keep coming back to them but haven't pulled the trigger. I can get an Evo in a few months so kind of torn. Congrats once again.

azzurri

I'm sure you'd be happy with the EVO. What is your thought about it? Did you decide or have any choices made so far?

SANDIEGO

A new EVO will be similar in price to a slightly used (< 2K miles) HP. However, it really depends on what kind of driving you do. The slightly used HP will be more track capable and will not depreciate as much as a new EVO.
