Monday Drool – A Purple Track Eater

This 2018 Lamborghini Huracan Performante may just be the showiest Drool car we’ve ever featured, and that’s really saying something. Now, I can honestly say that I have never even thought about purchasing a purple car. It’s not a shade I am typically fond of, plus it’s just not all that common of a factory colour, but today’sViola Parsifae-finished Huracan looks simply stunning, if you ask me. I wouldn’t hesitate to pick this one up, if I had the cash on hand. A tricolore stripe down the side just adds to the Italian exuberance – I love it. That’s not to say there aren’t plenty of other reasons to drool over this Lambo, though. How’s this for one more: it’s also one of the fastest cars in the world.

That’s right: This baby Lamborghini, being the Performante version, features a host of performance upgrades that allowed the car to set the production car lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife with a 6:52.01 time in October of 2016. Powering the Performante is an upgraded version of the standard car’s 5.2-litre V10 which now develops an impressive 640 bhp. Updates to the chassis, tyres, gearbox, and aerodynamics all contribute to the car’s new track-devouring demeanour. With a 40 kg weight loss to boot, this Lamborghini Huracan’s performance is nearly unparalleled.

This vivacious violet vehicle is currently available at Amari Supercars. Here is what they say about it:

This gleaming example is presented to you in Viola Parsifae which truly is one of the best colour combinations for the Huracan Performante, this car really does stand out. Which is in an immaculate, new condition all around…The already extensive specification of the Huracan Performante is widely enhanced by the following options: Viola Parsifae, Rear View Camera and Parking Sensors, Style Package, Bluetooth Preparation (Hands Free), Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB Radio), Navigation System EU, Branding Package, Travel and Smoker Package, Lamborghini Dynamic Steering, Lifting System and Magneto Rheological Suspension, Carbon Ceramic Brakes with Black Caliper, Rims Narvi 20″ Lightweight Forged Alloy Wheels, Ad Personam Interior Request, Full Paint Protection Film, Smart Trak.

I’ll leave it up to you as to whether this is a good colour for the Lamborghini Huracan, but you cannot deny that this is one eye-catching supercar. My favourite detail is probably the purple stitching present in various places throughout the cabin, but there are plenty to choose from as you peruse the pics. The lengthy list of options contributes to a £259,895 asking price, which is a good £50k more than the base price for a Lamborghini Huracan Performante.
