performante roadster will be useless with its soft top bc will not be allowed to go on any tracks. who needs all that aero tech just to drive it on street? and how will they balance the aero for when the roof is open? better not even to release such a model which will only reinforce lambo poser rep

In the past said the same thing - cancelled my Ferrari tdf for the SV roadster after it's under 7 min ring time.
Attended the Performante opening in Miami - these guys are serious about speed and performance carbon fiber tub the list goes on and on.
Lambo beats Ferrari - it's that simple and yes they get a lot of attention but the closest F dealer is 300 miles many local long time (drivers) Ferrari enthusiasts are buying Lamborghini's. Porsche guys moving to Lamborghini don't see that happening they are sister companies that have no desire to compete.
It's not the old Lamborghini days. The Huracan is a daily driver to a race car.
Aventador is all bull - with it's doors looks sounds receives insane amounts of attention especially with the race exhaust but with the cf tub take the tops off and there is nothing like it close to 800 hp with 12 cylinders attached to your back side. The Performante in roadster form IMO will be perfection.

You want to go back to racing in a Performante thread - you are sensitive towards Lamborghini that's your problem don't make it mine.

Notes if you don't want to understand.
From its carbon fiber monocoque to its pushrod suspension and proprietary 7-speed sequential gearbox, the Lamborghini Aventador 700-4 is a textbook example of what comes forth when nothing but the most radically aggressive design will do.
Huracan’s frame as a hybrid of carbon fibre and aluminum which if you’ve ever seen a naked McLaren, pretty much describes the 650S as well.

im against convt rules feeling it should be up to driver to decide on safety unless it effects other cars which cabs do not. however, I instruct at limerock, wat glen, Pocono, njmp and all require fixed roll bar for convertibles. bmwcca will not even allow that, they ban all convertibles including hardtop ones. been to road atl, homestead, and pbir and believe they have restrictions too but not sure.
I drove nring about 5 yrs ago and they had no rules, so there is that. I will never forget an old bmw 3 series convertible passing me with the top down and 3 little kids in baby seats! insane.
what tracks allow it?

I have a 16M and have tracked it Mclaren 675LT Spider Ferrari 458 Aperta 918 all modern exotic cars in their lighter versions are making a roadster when it's possible even La Ferrari. The new cars have plenty of pop up safety devices to protect drivers in a flip - not ideal but anyone pushing a road car that hard has no sense to begin with. Road America COTA there are plenty including every Ferrari Club of America event.
Have rented the track where there are no rules - guys without helmets etc the track doesn't care from what I have seen it's up to the people who rent the track.

cars you list have fixed roll protection or are retractable hardtops. hurracan is a pure softtop with only pop up roll bars. no tracks will allow it.
regardless, how can the ala work in a car that can have open or closed top? makes no sense to me

The Huracan, however, does NOT have a CF monocoque, despite what you'd like to believe.
As for racing, the Huracan is a relatively weak car in the GT3 / GTD classes; its popularity - according to Lamborghini themselves! - relates to cost. It's the cheapest to own and run, whereas the 488 was the most expensive in 2016. I do not know where the AMG ranks in terms of cost to own and operate, but it is the car to beat in Europe and the states.

I believe the reason for the lack of competitiveness in the Huracan in racing is mainly due to the restrictions placed on it by the governing bodies. I may be wrong but I think in it's raw state, the car is very competitive just with the restrictors on it severely hampers it's performance. I don't know much of many of the racing regulations so make of it what you will! I had a chance to drive a derestricted GT Huracan and really felt it had a lot of potential but hey what do I know!
