Yes, but in fairness, the Huracan used specially developed
road tyres. And you can specify them when ordering the car.
Although when I asked today, the salesman strongly advised against them, saying they would be very compromised on the road.
If I had ordered the car, I would definitely have gone for the special tyres though. What's the point of a Performante that doesn't match the Nurburgring record holder
It's not as if I would drive it in the wet or snow anyway. And I have had such tyres on both my Lotus cars. You just have to take it (very) easy in the wet, and get them up to temperature before pressing on.
