Pick your poison: in the green corner, the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica and, in blue, the Porsche 911 GT3. Which keys do you grab first? 🤔
These cars are not direct rivals. The small matter of four cylinders, an entire market segment and some £76k separates Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica from Porsche’s 911 GT3 . What they share is philosophy and timing – driver engagement like it’s been concentrated through a magnifying glass, visceral thrills accented towards the track but accessible on the road, and the knowledge we have only a limited window in which to enjoy analogue cars like these, at least as new.
The £212k Lamborghini is both newbie-on-test and the penultimate Huracan before Sant’Agata signs off production with the jacked-up Sterrato. Slotting between the rear-drive Huracan Evo and motorsport-derived STO, the Tecnica logically dials up the intensity, spec and feel of the former without getting as rowdy, uncompromising or pricey as the exceptional latter. Want to road trip and trackday? Tecnica’s the ticket.
Rear-wheel steering blends seamlessly with the dynamics, as Jake sums up: ‘It doesn’t feel as unnatural or augmented like it can in other cars – it’s still fluid.’ Switching to Sport mode tweaks the system’s reactivity so it arcs into oversteer more readily off-throttle, but the organic dynamic persists.
Nonetheless, after just a few miles behind the wheel you know this is a properly sorted, engaging and usable Lambo, even if it did just smear through a third-gear corner with all systems engaged. Yikes. The last GT3 I tested over these roads was a wing-free Touring with the manual gearbox, P Zero Corsas and standard brakes . This one gets the PDK dual-clutch auto, Michelin Cup 2s and carbon-ceramic brakes, and immediately exudes a different attitude. The PDK is a little clumsier at parking speeds , the brake pedal doesn’t bite as crisply and this GT3’s steering – full of precision and gorgeously weighted as it is – is more sensitive and sniffier over cambers.
Jake notes long-legged gearing knocks some of wind from the Porsche’s sails when you’re not driving like your hair’s on fire, but keep it lit past 4000rpm and this engine’s bandwidth and absolute clarity of response are spellbinding. ‘The Lambo pulls better during low-rev/high-gear acceleration but the GT3 still screams and surges forwards with insane power – and what a gorgeous noise,’ he comments.
Add it together with relatively modest power and this is a momentum car that oozes mechanical grit and balance, encouraging you to shake every drop of BHP sauce from the bottle rather than squeeze it cautiously. Find the limits and again the Cup 2 tyres make a pronounced difference versus the P Zero Corsas – it’s more of a slick-tyre feel with higher mechanical grip and an edgier transition to losing purchase.
