The Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 has made its motor show debut at Geneva 2014. Successor to the highly-successful Gallardo (14,022 units made in a 10-year production run), the new car also takes its name from the world of bullfighting: Huracan was a Spanish Conte de la Patilla fighting bull who fought in 1879 in Alicante. The animal’s unyielding character made him invincible, the story goes.
The newly conceived hybrid chassis of the Huracan LP 610-4 unites carbon fibre and aluminum components. The ultralight chassis forms the basis for the vehicle’s low dry weight of 1,422 kg.
The new 5.2 litre V10 engine produces 610 hp at 8,250 rpm and max torque of 560 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The new “Iniezione Diretta Stratificata” combines direct and indirect injection, achieving an increase in power and torque compared with the Gallardo, plus a decrease in fuel consumption and emissions.
Lambo offers an optional transparent cover that reveals a clear view of the naturally-aspirated V10. In this version, the engine bay is clad in visible carbon fibre, made using Lamborghini’s patented Forged Composite Technology.
With a power-to-weight ratio of just 2.33 kg per hp, the Huracan is capable of a top speed of over 325 km/h, 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 9.9 seconds. Thanks in part to the Stop & Start tech, average fuel consumption has dropped to 12.5 litres per 100 km, or 8 km/l.
Power is delivered to all paws via the new seven-speed dual-clutch “Lamborghini Doppia Frizione” transmission, an upgrade from the Gallardo’s e.gear automated manual transmission.
Three driving modes, from road to race track, can be selected via a switch on the steering wheel. The system is called ANIMA (“Adaptive Network Intelligent Management” and Italian for Soul) and it impacts the engine, transmission, AWD and ESC, among other systems.
The Huracan’s wheels measure 20 inches in diameter, and behind them are standard-fit carbon-ceramic brakes. As an option, Lamborghini offers its new beast with the Lamborghini Dynamic Steering variable steering system and MagneRide electromagnetic damper control. Both are also integrated into ANIMA.
Production will of course take place at Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata Bolognese home, and deliveries are scheduled to start in spring 2014.
my god it is beautiful!
Can’t drive this in Penang, too many bumps. Damn!
Suprima S 0-100km/h 9.9secs
Huracan 0-200km/h 9.9secs
Can’t compare a supercar with a bread and butter hatch. Flawed comparison!
ack!..the grey and white bulls have been tamed by the germans but the yellow one is the business…kinda sad recent lambos do not look that good in verde ithaca
Great design and tech.But i prefer aventador much more.
But still, can’t beat our Proton – Hennessy Venom GT.
Beauty, only the rich can enjoy!
Aventador still the best….
wow amazing car ..
I’m not being disagree here, but for Lambo standard design language, this new huracan design is not as stellar as the rest of Lambo lines. Its look dumb..
park this next to gallardo and see who looks dumb. gallardo looks so dated and squarish.
Lambos design paradigm, “Squish the current design till flat like roti canai” (notice the lights getting smaller and smaller through their designs). The inside looks good but for the money spent expected more.
The rims looks much better in black. Should make the center part of the front bumper black too..
I wonder at which salary level I could actually afford this?
The Crony level
What a beast! Like a piece of art, that also happens to be a car. The performance figures are just slightly slower than the Aventador. Can’t wait to see one of these in Malaysia.
It should be “Power is delivered to all HOOVES”, instead of paws… :)
Nice car…
was in geneva, disappointed by its looks
If I migrate out from Malaysia, I will be able to own one of this. Until then, only can look and smile.
I don’t understand. Why are the exhaust designed to be round? If they were angular just like the rest of the car, it would be much much nicer IMO.
