DRIVEN + VIDEO: If YOU Had A Choice Between The AWD Or RWD Lamborghini Huracan, WHICH Would You Have And WHY?

RWD because while AWD will have better traction, the experience can be numb feeling. I'd rather have the unruliness of RWD rather than the slightly superior traction of AWD.

That makes two of us!

AWD every day and twice on Sunday. Too much power and a very light RWD car are not a good mix on the street. More traction = more safety = seeing the sunrise the next day. Better also for the less than capable moneyed owners who will buy the car but not shell out for racing/high-performance driving classes/ experiences put on by independent firms or the automakers themselves.

"Too much power and a very light RWD car are not a good mix on the street." That's mainly true if there is a moron behind the wheel and the idiot is doing street racing or you're driving your Lamborghini like Speed Racer in rain or snow. RWD is more pleasurable for where I live. It snows here once every 25 years.

Rear-wheel drive can deliver more drama, or more fun for track gods like Chris Harris. He loves the Ford GT and loved it! He also faulted the Porsche 911 Turbo S as a "sort of a dull instrument" -- immensely capable, but less fun for Harris because the 911 was comparatively well behaved and stable.

In acknowledging that I am not a track god, I'd always prefer good AWD over RWD. I'd like the extra machine and software help (AKA safety net) in the event that I, silly mortal, do something stupid in a super car. I've see so many Car Fail videos of rich boys in super cars getting into a mess under the most benign conditions, because they lacked the understanding and skill to keep their RWD supercar under control.

RWD is *MY* preference, for enhanced stability and forgiveness. You might have different priorities and/or be a better driver than me, so you might prefer RWD. That's cool too.

@TheSteve Why not go to a performance driving school. It's tremendous fun and you learn how to drive a car on a track. You'd probably adore it.

MDarringer: I’ve done two multi-day sessions with pro racers as instructors. On the way to the track for my first session (years ago), by buddy and I did 130 mph on the highway for quite a stretch (not passing anyone at crazy speeds, though). After spending time with the instructors and learning the risks on a closed circuit, I realized the risks on the public roads were even greater. I also learned that a few days on the track does not a tracker make. Unless you build your skills, and practice them regularly to keep them current, one quickly loses their track savvy. Worse still, one can easily be lulled into a false sense of security by believing “I’ve done my multi-day training, so I’m good driving aggressively on public streets.”

Performance training is like flight training: non-currency from irregular practice is common.

Plus, I don’t spend any time on the track anymore. I might do it again, just for fun, or to get to know a new 911 a lot better, but I am far more likely to take an evasive maneuver avoiding an obstacle in the road than I am to drive like a racer on public streets, so a well-behaved car is important to me.

Besides, even though a 911 C4S or Turbo (both with AWD) are well-behaved, they have plenty of power and agility to feel like a spirited drive, too.

I get out to a track at least once a month on purpose, but there are also places around town to go cone racing in abandoned parking lots.

Every car on page pone is the same Godawfulpuke yellow.
