The Gallardo replacement has been revealed.
At the heart of the Huracán is a normally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine, heavily updated from its application in the Gallardo to the extent that Lamborghini calls it a new engine, with new direct and indirect injection systems.
It makes 602bhp at 8250rpm and 413lb ft at 6500rpm, up from the 552bhp at 8000rpm and 398lb ft at 6500rpm produced by the Gallardo LP560-4.
Top speed has not been quoted, but Lamborghini says it is “over 202mph” — the claimed top speed of the Gallardo LP560-4. The Huracán can crack 0-62mph in 3.2sec and 0-124mph in 9.9sec, bettering the 0-62mph time of the Gallardo LP560-4 by half a second.
Economy is improved over the automatic version of the Gallardo LP560-4, from 19.2mpg to 22.6mpg, while CO2 emissions are down from 351g/km to 290g/km.
The standard gearbox is no longer a six-speed manual but a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, christened Lamborghini Doppia Frizione (LDF) and derived from the dual-clutch auto recently added to the Audi R8. Lamborghini has yet to officially confirm the death of the manual gearbox from its range, but it would appear likely, given its absence from the Huracán’s launch line-up.
