Lamborghini Huracán Price, Debut, Specs, and Review: First Look at the Lambo Supercar
The words Gallarado, Diablo, and Murciélago might mean something to you if you're a fan of speed. The Lamborghini is one of the world's most cherished brands. Its cars are legendary for their bold looks and numerous celebrity owners. A new model is on the horizon and, just like other models in the Lambo lineup, is ready to take the auto world by storm. The Lamborghini Huracán is nearly here and it will take your breath away.
The Huracán will replace the best-selling Gallarado officially in 2015. The Huracán will make its worldwide debut at next years Geneva Auto Show in Switzerland. Like the Gallarado, the Huracán is a mid-engine sports car with sharp edges, a gigantic front windshield and a foreboding front end. Like other Lamborghinis, there is just enough room to fit a driver and one passenger in sans luggage.
The Huracán is pure automotive porn as evidenced by pictures released by Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. Shown in various colors, including classic yellow color that has become eponymous with the brand, just like Ferrari's association with red, the Huracán is a real stunner. Maybe calling it a car isn't enough; the term "moving sculpture" seems more apt. Whatever color the Huracán is paired with, though, is sure to please the eye. The glossy paint really accentuates the body well.
Like the outgoing Gallardo, the Huracán will have traditional doors, not the scissor or gullwing style popular on more expensive supercars. If you think you've seen the Huracán before you aren't experiencing déjà vu either. The car's styling takes inspiration from its more expensive counterparts, the Aventador and Reventón. For instance, all three vehicles share similar shiny headlights and a wedge-shaped body design.
Though pricing and availability have yet to be announced, the Huracán's specs definitely do not disappoint. A naturally aspirated, mid-mounted V-10 engine with 610 horsepower contributes to a top speed eclipsing 200 miles per hour. Combined with a 0-60 time in the low 60s the engine in this Italian stallion should get plenty of rich kids in trouble with the law.
In keeping with the times, the Huracán has surprisingly good fuel economy. In fact, you should average 18.5 miles per gallon thanks to an advanced stop-start system. No one will mistake the driver of such a car to be an environmentalist, but at least the gas station visits won't be as somber or frequent.
