Lamborghini Exhaust Battle: Aventador vs Huracan

Lamborghini might have included Nurburgring lap times on its list of priorities, with the Aventador Superveloce and the Huracan Performante being a testament to this, but putting on a show is still the main raison d'être of Sant'Agata Bolognese machines.

And, as you can imagine, the aural side of this adventure is just as important as the visual one, which is why Raging Bulls might just be the fiercest-sounding supercars you can currently find in a showroom.

It's worth mentioning that Lamborghini is currently the only big name on the supercar scene that remains entirely committed to natural aspiration. And no, the arrival of the Urus won't change this, since we're talking about a machine that belongs to a different genre.

So, if you had to choose between the voice of the Aventador and that of the Huracan, which one would you pick?

To help you answer this question, we've brought along a piece of footage that shows both the V12 and the V10 animals doing their thing during a drag racing event.

The video includes an Aventador and a pair of Huracans and even comes with a decibel riddle - try to figure out if the V12 model seen here comes with a stock exhaust or not? (the Huracans appears to pack the factory hardware).

Interestingly, certain aficionados still prefer the voices of the supercars that came before the Huracan and the Aventador. Truth be told, the Aventador doesn't quite pack the same scream as the Murcielago, with the higher-pitched voice of the retired V12 model holding a special place in many enthusiasts' hearts.

As for the Huracan, the cracks and pops delivered on the engine overrun phase are probably the most aggressive on the market, but the full load soundtrack is slightly less intense than what the Gallardo had to offer.
