Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica vs Ferrari 296 GTB — Which S1 Class RWD vs RWD Is Better in FH6?
Two very different approaches to going fast. The Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica is RWD with 631 hp, the Ferrari 296 GTB is RWD with 819 hp. Here's which one wins — and why.
Putting the Lamborghini Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica against the Ferrari Ferrari 296 GTB is one of those comparisons that doesn't have a clean answer until you've run real laps back to back. The Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica puts down 631 hp from a 5.2L V10, weighs 1,379 kg, and drives the RWD wheels. The Ferrari 296 GTB counters with 819 hp from a 3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 Hybrid, tipping the scales at 1,470 kg through the RWD wheels. On paper they look close enough that you'd think it comes down to preference. It doesn't — I've tested both extensively and the gaps are real, sometimes surprising, sometimes exactly where you'd expect.
In FH6 specifically, these two cars interact with the updated physics engine very differently. The tire model changes, the weight transfer rework, the differential behavior — all of it shifts the balance between RWD and RWD in ways that weren't true in FH5. I spent a full evening hot-lapping both on the same circuits back to back, and what I found changed which one I'd recommend depending on what you're trying to achieve.
Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica — The Lamborghini Contender
The final and finest naturally aspirated V10 Huracán — 631 hp, rear-wheel drive, and a chassis tuned for drivers who love to dance on the limit.
The Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica rewards preparation above all else. You can't improvise a fast lap in this car the way you can in an AWD competitor. Each corner demands a plan: where you'll brake, where you'll turn in, when you'll get back to power. Execute that plan cleanly and the lap time comes. Deviate by even a few meters on the braking point and you're either wide and slow or sideways and slower. FH6's rewind feature is your coach here — nail a corner, rewind to the entry, and try it five different ways to find what the chassis wants. Once muscle memory takes over, the car becomes an instrument for carving lap times rather than an opponent you're wrestling.

Pros & Cons — Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica
Pros
- Last naturally aspirated V10 Lamborghini — collector value and emotional soundtrack
- Rear-wheel steering makes tight corners feel telepathic
- Only 1,379 kg dry — incredibly light for a modern supercar
Cons
- RWD + 631 hp = oversteer on throttle in low gears
- Stiff suspension setup makes bumpy circuits a challenge
- Lower top speed than AWD Huracán variants

Ferrari 296 GTB — The Ferrari Contender
Maranello's hybrid masterpiece — a twin-turbo V6 with electric torque fill that redefines what a baby Ferrari can do.
Slide the Ferrari 296 GTB on purpose, not by accident. Initiate with a sharp lift on corner entry — no handbrake, no clutch kick — and the rear will step out progressively. Catch it with throttle, not steering. Counter-steering too aggressively sets up a pendulum that spits you out the other side. Instead, hold a small correction angle and modulate the slide with your right foot. More throttle = more angle, less = the rear tucks back in. FH6's tire smoke in photo mode looks spectacular from this car's rear three-quarter angle, so keep the replay saved.

| Spec | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 8.8 | Hybrid-boosted top end is deceptively strong |
| Handling | 9.2 | Pin-sharp turn-in, mid-engine poise, incredibly light |
| Acceleration | 9.5 | Electric torque fills the turbo gap — seamless thrust |
| Launch | 9.0 | 0-100 in 2.9s with hybrid assist |
| Braking | 9.0 | Brake-by-wire with regen blending, very consistent |
| Off-Road | 2.0 | Maranello didn't build this for gravel |

Pros & Cons — Ferrari 296 GTB
Pros
- Hybrid system eliminates turbo lag — instant throttle response
- Only 1,470 kg — lighter than most S1 competitors
- V6 soundtrack is genuine, not synthetic (Ferrari calls it 'piccolo V12')
Cons
- RWD with 819 hp demands respect in wet conditions
- Smaller engine displacement limits ultimate top-speed upgrade potential
- Hybrid battery depletes on long straights, losing the torque-fill benefit

Verdict: Which One Should You Pick?
Here's the honest answer after testing both cars back to back on the same circuits. The "better" car depends entirely on what you're driving for.
Pick the Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica if: you prioritize cornering precision over straight-line speed. you race on tracks with long straights where top speed matters more. you enjoy the challenge of managing oversteer and want the higher skill ceiling.
Pick the Ferrari 296 GTB if: you prioritize cornering precision over straight-line speed. you race on tracks with long straights where top speed matters more. you enjoy the challenge of managing oversteer and want the higher skill ceiling.
If I could only keep one, I'd pick the Ferrari 296 GTB. Both are competitive in the S1 class meta though, and either one will podium consistently if you build it right. My advice: test both at the Autoshow, run a few laps on your favorite circuit, and trust the stopwatch. The numbers don't lie — even when your heart wants them to.
