Rimac Nevera and Lamborghini Huracan in a drag race

Rimac Nevera recently set the fastest time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife (7:05:928), in the category of production electric cars. It is an extremely powerful and fast car that many want to defeat in a one-on-one race. A tuned Lamborghini Huracan tried that too in a drag race organized by the Carwow team.

Rimac Nevera is powered by four electric motors with a total power of 1,914 hp (1,408 kW) and 1,741 lb-ft (2,360 Nm) of torque which is enough to push the car to 62 mph in just 1.81 seconds with the title of EV with the highest verified top speed of 256 (412 km/h). It is equipped with a lithium-manganese-nickel battery with 6,960 cells and a capacity of 120kWh.

The Lamborghini Huracan is a project of British tuner company JM Imports, powered by an improved 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10 engine with 1,800 hp (1,324 kW) and 1,106 lb-ft (1,500 Nm) of torque. The car has a fully built engine, fully built gearbox, fuel system, drive shafts, clutches, differential, turbos, etc.

In the first 1/4 mile race, Nevera had a better start and finish, crossing the finish line first. In the second attempt, the Huracan had a better start, but the Nevera was still faster. And the third attempt was also unsuccessful for the Lamborghini Huracan. A good start, but the time of 8.7 seconds was insufficient. Rimac nevera covered the 1/4 mile in 8.5 seconds.

In the 1/2 mile race at 30 mph, the Lamborghini held on well for most of the race but still not enough to cross the finish line first. In the race at 50 mph, Nevera was much faster. In the brake test at 100mph, the Huracan finally did better.

Although we expected better results from the Lamborghini Huracan, the Rimac Nevera showed why it is one of the fastest cars in the world.

Two decades since the Lamborghini Gallardo hit the market

It’s been two decades since Lamborghini introduced its first production car with a V10 engine, the Lamborghini Gallardo. It was a very successful car with 14,022 units produced by 2013. But it’s story begins many years earlier.

Company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini was thinking about a smaller Lamborghini with a lower price and maintenance costs back in the 70s. The concept ultimately led to the development of a project that became a 2+2 sports car called the Lamborghini Urraco. In the 1980s, the project evolved into the Jalpa model, Lamborghini’s everyday supercar. However, in 1987, a new project called the L140 began with the aim of producing more compact Lamborghinis. Several prototypes were built, all of which had different technical solutions and potential powertrains, including a V8 engine initially, and later a V10 engine which was the final choice.

The first LAmborghini Gallardo was powered by a 5.0-liter 10-cylinder DOHC engine with 493 hp (368 kW) and 376 lb-ft (510 Nm) of torque. It was offered with a conventional (H-pattern) six-speed manual transmission and a six-speed electro-hydraulically actuated single-clutch automated manual transmission. A 90-degree angle was used to optimize the layout of the vehicle, improve rear visibility and lower the center of gravity for better dynamics.

The all-aluminum structural chassis is welded to cast fasteners creating a strong yet lightweight foundation for this supercar. Unlike many super sports cars, the Gallardo offered both reliability and everyday usability without compromising on exciting performance.

During production the Gallardo was offered in several different versions such as Coupe, Spyder, Superleggera, LP 570-4 Superleggera, LP 560-4, LP 560-4 Spyder, LP 570-4 Spyder Performante, LP 550-2 Coupé, LP 550 –2 AD, LP 550-2 Spyder, each of which introduced unique features and technological advancements.

The Gallardo is one of the most successful sports cars in the history of the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based company. It pioneered Lamborghini’s commitment to pushing boundaries, but also laid the foundation for its successor, the Lamborghini Huracan.
