Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4, the Gallardo’s successor
The Lamborghini Huracán was spotted on numerous occasions in the wild covered in camouflage prints, but it did give us a fair idea of what the final product will look like. The Gallardo changed quite a bit externally over the 10 years to keep the design modern but its successor is quite different in many aspects. Lamborghini claims they have developed the Huracán from ground up from scratch. By judging the official images released by the Italian sportscar maker, the design of the Huracán is similar to that of Aventador but has a lot of unique styling bits to give it a separate character of its own. The front end might not look completely new despite the new aggressive headlights but it’s the rear end where the change is most noticeable. The rear end styling is a lot sharper than other models by Lamborghini barring Veneno. The taillights and the sharp edges augmenting the design blend together seamlessly and overall, the Huracán on the outside is beautifully crafted.
On the inside, the cabin is styled typical to recent Lamborghinis but with enough new touches. The most eye-catching addition to the cabin is a 12.3 inch full-color TFT instrument panel that delivers all car information to the driver, from rev counter to navigation maps and infotainment functions, and can be configured by the driver in different setups. The interior comes wrapped in fine Nappa leather and Alcantara which will be available in different color combinations.
The model that has been launched is named Huracán LP 610-4, which has a 4 wheel drive system powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V-10 that produces 610hp and a peak torque of 480 pound-feet. It is capable of accelerating from 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of 202mph. The car will make an official debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and on a brand-new line at its Sant’Agata Bolognese plant, with the first cars reaching customers in the spring of 2014.
