Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4
One of the most anticipated cars of the year has finally broken cover. A legend’s successor, a new breed of bull, a new chapter in history, it’s the all-new 2014 Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4.
History
In 2003, Lamborghini introduced a new model called the Gallardo. It turned out to be a mega-hit with a total volume of 14,022 cars produced making it the firm’s most successful model to-date. The Gallardo’s successor, the new Huracán, does have some big boots to fill. It has been built from the ground-up, down to the very last detail and derives its name from the world of bullfighting.
Performance
The Lamborghini Huracán incorporates a 5.2-liter V10 engine which fires out a monstrous 610hp. This immense power is brought to the road via a new 7-speed dual-clutch transmission called the “Lamborghini Doppia Frizione” (LDF) and a fully electronically controlled four-wheel-drive system.
The Huracan incorporates three different driving modes, STRADA, SPORT and CORSA. They 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.
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.

Exterior
The new Lamborghini Huracán’s design, revolutionizes the design language of the Gallardo. Precise technology and top level craftsmanship meet an audacious design with sharp edges, monolithic and sculptured volumes and precise surfaces. The lateral windows come together to create a hexagonal form inserted like a glass jewel in the car’s profile.
LED’s are also incorporated within the design. If a Huracan is in the distance, you sure will notice its Lamborghini heritage!
Interior
Lamborghini has retained styling whilst adding a level of innovation. 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.
