Performante intake noise

[smartmove]

Hi,

I have just changed from a standard Huracan to a Performante. Amazing car, a real step up. 1 issue (and it may not even be an issue) is with the windows down I am getting a really noticeable hissing sound when under acceleration, it may be induction noise but is far more noticeable (infact I don't recall hearing any induction hissing on the standard car) on the Performante. It also sounds like it's coming from the front of the car rather than the air intakes behind your head although this could just be the sound resonating when the car is moving. I spoke to the supplying dealer (who are not local to me) and they said the Performante does make more induction noise but if I think there is an issue to get Lambo Assist to recover the car back to them. I don't really want to go do this unless I am sure it's a problem. Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks in advance.

If the sound is coming from the front is it present with ALA activated and deactivated?

Or you can just take it it to the RBR wind tunnel (hehehe j/k I saw your location and had to put that in)

It happens at even low speeds when accelerating so not sure if the ALA would be doing anything at that point?

RBR is 5 minutes from my house, maybe they will know what's going on! haha

Try speaking to Adam at Leicester, font of all knowledge!

As for RBR, lived across the road for years and have a few friends there, I wonder if we could blag a wind tunnel test

Well, they use some kind of venting through the door handles...so it could be that; air hissing through the latch. I have noticed that with my A/C on, blowing at high speed...standing outside the car, when I put my hand on the latch to open the door, there is a cool breeze emanating from the front of the latch as soon as it depressed.

I have never noticed hissing with the windows down, but I'm in my 60's and my high pitch hearing isn't what it used to be.

Yes I noticed it as soon as we took off. Not as noticeable as my early Gallardo
but def louder than my R8 or previous Huracan.

Thanks all. I think this car just sucks in more air

Its normal on the Performante, it has to do with the intakes.

Yes normal mate

Does it on both the Perf Coupe and Spyder, and its the intake just behind the door. Less on the Spyder, because the intakes are in a different spot.
