Want to get your hands on a new Lamborghini Huracan Performante, but haven’t secured a slot on the waiting list? Then we have good news for you, because one such example has already popped up for sale on the second-hand market – in America, no less.
The car pictured here is listed by iLusso, a supercar dealer based in Costa Mesa, California (that’s in Orange County, just south of Los Angeles.) It’s being sold as “second hand,” which means that someone owned it before – but that owner appears to have put just 1,235 miles on it, which makes it practically brand-new.
The Performante is the most hardcore and capable version of Lamborghini’s 10-cylinder supercar to date. It’s powered by the same 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 as any other version of the Huracan, which in Performante spec has been tuned to deliver 631 hp (640 PS/471 kW) and 443 lb-ft (601 N-m) of torque. This compared to 610 PS in the core model, and 580 in the rear-wheel drive version.

It also carries less weight and more aggressive aero, suspension, rolling stock and other go-fast bits. As a result, it’ll rocket to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.9 seconds and top out at 218 mph (351 km/h). More tellingly, though, with an experienced driver at the helm it’ll lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife in just 6:52, making it quicker than almost anything else on the world’s most famous track.
This example, as you can see, is done up in yellow and black. It also has the optional 20-inch wheels, matching yellow brake calipers, suspension lift system… in a nutshell, the works. We’re not quite sure about the outlandish graphics, but we’re hoping those are decals that can easily be removed.
Like what you see? It can be yours for $315,000. That’s about as much as you’d have to pay to buy one brand new from the factory, if you don’t go overboard on the options. And with just over 1,000 miles on the clock, one can argue that it’s as good as new, plus you won’t have to wait but you’ll get it right away. You pays your money…
