No matter how many times we’ve witnessed mighty supercars take on bigger and more sophisticated fighter jets, it never seems to get old. Recently, a 44-second-long clip was posted on Twitter showing a [Lamborghini Huracan](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/18945/the-lamborghini-huracn-performante-set-records-on-eight-circuits-this-year>) take on an [Indian Navy MiG-29K](<https://www.twz.com/12531/indian-navy-mig-29ks-make-low-approaches-to-uss-nimitz-during-malabar-drills>) at the Dabolim Airport in Goa, India.

The Lamborghini featured in the video seems to be the Italian supercar manufacturer's latest and record-breaking [Huracan Performante](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/21053/supercar-car-camping-in-a-lamborghini-huracan-performante-2-national-parks-6-days-and-1000-miles>) which costs Rs 3.97 crore in India. That's an incredible $571,100 USD as opposed to the near $300,000 price tag it wears in the U.S. Under the hood of this superlative supercar is a 5.2-liter V-10 engine that churns out a massive 630 horspower at 8,000 rpm and 445 pound-feet of torque. The 10-pot motor is matched to an LDF 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that channels power to all four wheels. The highlights of the vehicle, however, are the use of forged composites that make it a whole lot lighter than the standard Huracan and the use of the innovative ALA active aerodynamic system.

But in the end, all that road-going sound and fury wasn’t a match for the sheer thurst of the MiG-29K and, as a result, the supercar trailed by more than a few car lengths before the the Russian-made fighter jet made a near-vertical take off.
