Huracan:

Zero to 60 mph: 2.5 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 5.7 sec
Zero to 150 mph: 13.3 sec
Street start, 5-60 mph: 3.2 sec
Top gear, 30-50 mph: 1.9 sec
Top gear, 50-70 mph: 2.0 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 10.4 sec @ 135 mph
Top speed (redline ltd, mfr's claim): 202 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 144 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 1.01 g

R8 V10 Plus

Zero to 60 mph: 3.1-3.4 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 7.0-7.4 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 11.3-11.7 sec
Top speed: 199-205 mph

That indeed would be a huge difference. 0-60 in 3.1 to 3.4ish would be much off the claimed time by Audi. They claim 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds. Besides that would mean it's not quicker than the previous R8 GT or the previous R8 V10 Plus. I just don't believe these numbers. Who tested it? Which magazine?
