The Lamborghini Huracan is a mid-engine V10 supercar. Its purpose is to be the fastest, most beautiful and most attention-grabbing car on the road, wherever it's driven. This all starts with the engine, a naturally aspirated 5.2L V10 that is capable of revving well beyond 8000 RPM and sounds amazing when doing so. The rear-wheel drive variants come with 602-horsepower and the all-wheel drive versions comes with 631-horsepower. This engine is attached to a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox with paddle shifters. Flat out, the Huracan is capable of speeds over 200 mph.
The exotic styling of the Huracan hides thoroughly modern and exotic underpinnings as well. The frame is a hybrid aluminum/carbon fiber affair that promises both huge amounts of rigidity and lightness. In fact, Lamborghini claims that the car is significantly lighter than the already incredibly stiff Gallardo that it replaces, benefitting both acceleration and fuel economy, though the latter is obviously not a huge concern to most owners.
The Huracan can be changed from street to sport to track mode with the push of a button, changing everything from the speed of up and downshifts to the amount of torque that's sent to each different wheel. Optional electronically controlled magnetic shock absorbers can further change the behavior of the car with simple electronic adjustments.
Stopping is handled by enormous 6-piston caliper, vented cross-drilled carbon ceramic disc brakes in front and 4-piston caliper, vented cross-drilled carbon ceramic disc brakes at the rear with anti-lock brakes at all four corners. Dual stage front and side airbags are standard and the Huracan does have traction control and stability control. However, both can be turned off at the driver's request.
Lamborghini continues to offer the range of personalized options for the Huracan, which includes wheels, upholstery options, multiple color alternatives and style packs. The Huracan interior comes with a blend of leather and Alcantara, buyers also have the option to add lightweight materials to the interior.
A Spyder convertible maintains almost all of the styling and performance of the Huracan but with a clever folding hard top that raises and lowers in only 15 seconds. With such extroverted styling, it seems almost a shame to not be seen in the Huracan and the Spyder version gleefully fixes this shortcoming.
New for 2024 is the Sterrato model which literally means unpaved or dirt road. The name is a perfect description of the road Lamborghini has taken as they have produced a supercar that is meant to go through rough unpaved, bumpy roads, which is not where many people would want to drive their $279,000 supercar. The Sterrato model has been lifted by 1.7 inches to handle the rough roads, and it comes equipped with run-flat Bridgestone Dueler All-Terrain tires. It sports roof rails to attach a rack, a higher center of gravity, revised electronically controlled dampers, softer springs and anti-roll bars all made to handle the rough roads.
