Audi R8 V10 Plus - Performance Mode

[richardw331]

Hi Chaps.

I bought a Huracan last year in September, before that i owned an R8 GT Spyder.

Last week, Audi gave me an Audi R8 V10 Plus to play with for the whole day! Free Fuel too! (they didnt know i'd sold my GT though ha ha)

Anyway, needless to say, i still took it for a spin.

All the usual settings, Dynamic Mode, different custom settings which was cool... and separate button for the exhaust flap (also cool). So you can have it in comfort (lighter steering) but loud exhaust.


THEN, i pressed the "Performance Mode" button - this is basically a track mode, it partially turns off the traction & increases the max 610bhp BUT the most amazing thing i saw was the IDLE RPM! - It increases idl'ing to 1,200 RPM rather than 900RPM ... it gave a beautiful hum noise when at idle ... i love aftermarket exhausts on the V10 engines but i've always found them to sound like a Diesel - a Croaky Chug noise at idle 900rpm.... BUT this Performance Mode nails it !!! - A beautiful beefy hum at constant 1,200 RPM all the time.

WHY IS THIS NOT ON THE HURACAN

This is one of the things the V10 needs.. an increased RPM idle (especially for Race Exhaust & aftermarket exhausts)

Its a good suggestion, i'm sure that is very easy for Lamborghini to upgrade the corsa mode and inceease the idle rpm. Its just a software modification.
Maybe we should ask Mr. Hurricane to forward this to Lamborghini spa.

Yes i was thinking perhaps a Software modification... but how easy? i don't know

I would love to have a button to open the flap in strada....

I have a 2016 Huracan with the sport exaust and when you switch to Corsa mode it does exactly the same thing. The idle bumps up to 1200 RPM. At first I didn't realize why the sound at idle was louder when I went from Sport to Corsa, then I saw why, the RPM's increased.

This is amazing news!

I'm contacting my local Lambo garage I need this software

Bet you have it on corsa all the time

I suspect later models & newer editions will have more special features on
