Huracan: Technical Highlights and Design
Unveiled in March 2014, the Lamborghini Huracan was developed as an all-new entry-level supercar, replacing the long-running Gallardo. It is built on a new platform, featuring a redesigned chassis and updated bodywork that reflect Lamborghini’s commitment to performance and innovation. The Huracan is powered by a reworked 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 engine, which produces 602hp (449kW) and 560Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a dual-clutch transmission, delivering power to all four wheels for enhanced traction and driving dynamics.
