Earlier this year, Lamborghini unveiled the Nurburgring record breaking model, the Huracan Performante. The sports car completed a single lap of the of the track, popularly known as the Green Hell, in 6 minutes and 52.01 seconds, beating the Porsche 918 Spyder by almost five seconds.
Soon after, Porsche reclaimed the title for the King of the ‘Ring with the 911 GT2 RS by going five seconds faster than the Huracan Performante. Now, it seems Lamborghini is on its way to steal that title from Porsche once again. Recent images shared on the web reveal a hardcore Aventador S test mule spied testing.

Another highlight on this Aventador Performante test mule is the sharper front fascia with a protruding splitter. The design of the splitter suggests that the model could be using Lamborghini’s patented ALA system.
