Sant'#### Bolognese, 20.12.2013 -- A new era is beginning for Automobili Lamborghini and the luxury super sports car segment: with the brand new Huracán Lamborghini is not only presenting the successor to the iconic Gallardo, but is also redefining the benchmark for luxury super sports cars in this segment. With its pure and unique design, an innovative technology package, outstanding dynamics and excellent quality, the Huracán offers a super sports car experience on a whole new level. The Huracán combines absolute performance with easy-todrive road behavior and both luxurious and sport-oriented finish. With the Huracán, Lamborghini is taking a big step into the future, and enhancing the brand's illustrious history with the next automotive legend.

Starting from January 2014 the Huracán will be the protagonist of over 130 private preview events in more than 60 cities throughout the world. The Lamborghini Huracán will make its world public debut at the Geneva Motorshow 2014.


Name

With a total volume of 14,022 cars produced, the Lamborghini Gallardo has been the most successful Lamborghini ever and, in its ten-year lifecycle, lifted the Lamborghini marque to a whole new level. Its successor, the new Huracán, has been developed from scratch down to the very last detail and, like the Gallardo and most other Lamborghini models, derives its name from the world of bullfighting. The fighting bull Huracán of the Spanish Conte de la Patilla breed was known for his outstanding courage and strong sense of attack. He fought in Alicante in August 1879, showing his unrelenting character and remaining defiant and invincible, thus entering into the legend of fighting bulls' history.


Design

The new Huracán revolutionizes the design language of the Gallardo and is pure in its lines: precise technology and top level craftsmanship meet an audacious design with sharp edges, monolithic and sculptured volumes and precise surfaces. The starting point is the silhouette of the Huracán, born out of the desire of creating an automobile, whose profile is defined by only one line that merges the front with the ****pit and the rear of the car. The lateral windows come together to create a hexagonal form inserted like a glass jewel in the car's profile. Also by night is the Huracán unmistakably a Lamborghini. Not only are the main headlamps equipped with full LED illumination, but all other light functions also feature state-of-the-art LED technology as a standard feature for the first time in the segment.


Interior

The interior is dominated by an innovative ****pit. A 12.3 inch full-color TFT instrument panel 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. Fine Nappa leather and Alcantara distinguish the interior, with several color combinations offered to ensure broad individualization options. The design of dashboard and central tunnel underline a new lightness in the interior. Superb craftsmanship guarantees the highest quality and sense of luxury throughout.


Chassis and powertrain

Systematic lightweight design and Automobili Lamborghini's extensive expertise in carbon fiber come together in the Huracán's new hybrid chassis -- an integrated structure of carbon and aluminum elements. With a dry weight of 1,422 kg it enables not only the excellent power-to-weight ratio of just 2.33 kilograms per horse power, but also guarantees race-car precision with outstanding stiffness.

The new 5.2 liter V10 engine delivers a maximum power of 448 kW / 610 HP at 8,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 560 Nm at 6.500 rpm. In the new ''Iniezione Diretta Stratificata'' (IDS), direct and indirect gasoline injections are smartly combined. This results in more power and torque with lower fuel consumption and emissions compared with the Gallardo V10 engine. The top speed of over 325 km/h and the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and to 200 km/h in 9.9 seconds only partially describe the dynamic experience at the wheel of the Huracán. Also thanks to the Stop & Start technology, the combined EU consumption figure has been further reduced to 12.5 liters per 100 km (290 g/km CO2 emissions). The engine complies with EU6 emissions regulation.


Driving dynamics

The power of the V10 engine is brought to the road via the new 7-speed dualclutch transmission ''Lamborghini Doppia Frizione'' (LDF) and fully electronically controlled four-wheel drive system. The different driving modes of the Huracán can be selected via a driving dynamics selector switch in the steering wheel - from traction-oriented on the road to extreme performance on the race track, with three setups of the dynamics system: STRADA, SPORT and CORSA. The different modes ensure extensive modification in road behavior of the Huracán. In particular they influence the set-ups of several systems, such as the gearbox and engine behavior, the sound, the four-wheel-drive system and electronic stability control. The Huracán's carbon-ceramic brakes are a standard feature for consistently superb braking performance. The ''Lamborghini Dynamic Steering'' variable steering ratio system and magneto-rheologic suspension damper control are both available as options for further customization of the Huracán's dynamic behavior. They are also calibrated via the three different dynamic set-ups.

The Huracán is produced at the Automobili Lamborghini headquarters in Sant'#### Bolognese on an entirely newly-equipped production line. Delivery to the first customers is planned for spring 2014

LOVE IT! Grigio Telesto and black wheels. Verde Ithaca calipers…

Well done Lambo!

 

UGR TT kit out yet?

 

I love it! but i think the Gallardo will always be the perfect car.....

 

Beautiful....when do we expect the actual production to begin and start seeing them in dealers?

 

Waaaaay better looking than the out going Gallardo's... Murci looked bit too big but this seems just about perfect..


Well done Lambo...


I hope they offer it in 6-speed now as this definitely could be my first lambo venture

 

I've heard there will be no manual transmission, just like the Aventador.

 

I think that is right. Can't imagine that there will be a manual to be honest. There is very little demand for manuals in these cars, just like the R8.
When I was at my Audi dealership, the salesman told me they didn't sell a manual R8 for over 2 years and they sell quite some R8s there. It's one of the biggest dealerships in Switzerland.

its nice to see they went refined, and away from that ricer body kit business.

 

Awesome.

Regarding a manual, I look at it this way:

AWD enables insanely aggressive gearing. Like the 911TT PDK. 60mph in 3rd gear. Imagine manually shifting twice before hitting 60mph in a really quick car?

 

I really liked the look of this car when I first saw it. But now I am not so sure.....

 

I wonder if it will be out spring 2014 or if they will hold off until the end of 2014 for it to hit the states.

 

This is the first Lambo I actually might consider getting. I wonder how the handling will compare to a Ferrari...

 

I'm a little underwhelmed visually. Perhaps it's just the color combo...and of course the bar is set so high with previous lambos. Still, I was looking for a heart attack, and feel more like...

 

thats how I feel also... I am actually trying to justify why it looks nice lol... because its lambo but really half is awesome the other half... the exhaust the back lights not crazy about em and the car form the side looks like it goes up both sides like an amphibian...

I am hoping the superleggera will look meaner
