What would you do if you had a newly delivered Lamborghini Huracan STO? Professional race driver Daniel had his Huracan STO delivered weeks ago, and he definitely knows what to do with his newly arrived supercar – go nuts driving against a super-quick Porsche 911 GT2 RS on a quarter mile.
Breaking The Specs: Huracan STO Vs Porsche GT2 RS
Lamborghini has just commenced deliveries of the Huracan STO (Super Trofeo Omologata), which is essentially a road-homologated super sports car taking inspiration from the Huracan EVO Super Trofeo and the Huracán EVO GT3 racers. The 2,952-pound (1,339 kg) Huracan STO features a naturally-aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine delivering 631 hp (640 PS) of max output and 416 lb-ft of peak torque. The rear-wheel drive Huracan STO can zoom from nil to 62 mph in 3.0 seconds, and reach a top speed of 192.2 mph (310 km/h)
On the other hand, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS has a 3.8-liter twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine that provides 690 hp (700 PS) of max output and 553 lb-ft of peak torque. The 3,240-pound (1,450 kg) GT2 RS can sprint from zero to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds and achieve a top speed of around 211 mph (340 km/h).
On paper and specs, the 911 GT2 RS has the advantage against the Huracan STO, notwithstanding the fact it is the fastest production car in the Nürburgring.
GT2 RS Gives The Huracan STO A Warm Welcome
The contest started with a quarter-mile drag race, with Daniel driving the Lamborghini and friend Toby Aberle steering the Porsche. The first run belonged to the GT2 RS, which clocked the 62-mph sprint in 3.13 seconds and reached the finish line in 10.93 seconds at 137 mph (220.55 km/h). The Huracan STO arrived around half-a-second later at 3.86 seconds. It completed the quarter mile in 11.44 seconds at around 130 mph (209 km/h).
Interestingly, the Huracan STO improved its performance in the second drag race. It sprinted to 62 mph in 3.47 seconds and reached the quarter mile in 11.06 seconds at 131.3 km/h (211.25). However, the GT2 RS also improved its time. It zoomed to 62 mph in 3.10 seconds and to the finish line in 10.57 seconds at 138.7 mph (223.28).
Lamborghini Vs Porsche: Crowning The Winner
The rolling race also produced similar results, with the Porsche 911 GT2 RS leaving the Lamborghini Huracan STO behind. Daniel was seemingly disappointed that the Lambo lost, but he was still the real winner. After all, he also owns the Porsche.
