2015 LAMBORGHINI HURACAN
2015 LAMBORGHINI HURACAN
All good things must come to an end, so the Gallardo 
is packing things up and moving out of Lamborghini’s entry-level supercar 
spot to make room for a brand new baby. Rumors swirled about the name of this new supercar, and the final decision was Huracán LP 610-4 and not "Cabrera," as we initially thought.
The Huracán LP 610-4’s name is derived from a fighting bull from 1879. This Spanish Conte de la Patilla breed of bull was unrelenting and thrust himself into bull-fighting stardom courage and strong sense of attack.
This new new Lamborghini will make its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 2014, but it will also have more than 130 private showings that start in January. We expect to see it in dealers starting in mid- to late-2014.

So, those leaked photos we saw yesterday of the Huracán turned out to be legitimate, as evidenced by a succeeding batch of even more photos showing the Huracán in all its spectacular glory.
Up front, we couldn’t help notice how certain elements from the Aventador were
The Huracán does have the advantage with those LED headlamps, the same technology used on the Aventador. But instead of having just one Y-shaped headlight, as is the case with the Aventador, the Huracán has a pair of them on each side.applied to the Huracán , something we touched on with our past renderings. The Lamborghini trademark large intakes are also visibly present on the front. They look shorter than those on the Aventador but meet closer to the middle, a direction Lamborghini may have taken to make the Huracán look less bonkers than its big brother. Smart call, since you don’t want to emasculate the Aventador with a more aggressive-looking younger bro.
Looking at the side photo of the Huracán , you can immediately surmise that it’s shorter than the Aventador. A noticeable lack of those sweeping strokes kind of makes it look a little too simple for our taste, and even the air intakes behind the doors aren’t as big as the ones you’ll find on the Aventador, probably because the V-10 doesn’t need bigger intakes. And did we say that the doors open conventionally? That’s a bummer.
Moving to the rear, this is where we really love the Huracan. Understandably, the Aventador has a more garnished rear with sharp edges seemingly found all throughout the rear. The Huracan is a little more subdued than that, and it’s an awesome thing. The taillights are similar, and the diffuser still sits lower than we would’ve wanted, but the absence of those two large rear intakes, means that there’s more space for an actual bumper. Lambo did have to compromise with those rear lights, making them a tad smaller to accommodate what does look like one continuous intake that runs from one taillight to the other.
RENDERING REALITY
In our rendering that we created on October 1st, you can see that we only strayed a little from the actual model. We got the overall shape of the Huracan perfect, but we did miss the little details that Lambo kept under heavy camo, like the front and rear fascias, the bodylines and the air intakes. Overall, though, not a bad rendering, but not perfect by any means.
HEADLIGHT DETAIL
INTERIOR
There are little surprises with the interior of the Lamborghini Huracan, other than the redesigned dashboard with the A/C vents sticking out. The center console, which includes a large 12.3-inch TFT display, still has all the knobs, switches, and buttons you’ll need in just one place. The aforementioned TFT display does have all the necessary info, from the tachometer to the infotainment system.
The Huracan also has copious amounts of carbon fiber and Alcantara throughout the cabin, nothing out of the ordinary considering that we are dealing with Lamborghini here.
DRIVING AND HANDLING
A not-so-surprising revelation about the Huracán is the choice of engine Lamborghini
That’s serving notice to Ferrari that it needs to put in the work to improve the 458 Italia opted to use for its new supercar. For its latest piece of work, Lambo opted to bring back an uprated version of the Gallardo’s 5.2-liter, V-10 engine that produces 610 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and 413 pound-feet of torque at 6,500 rpm.
, otherwise the Huracán will just blow past it. The Huracán’s increased power over the 458 also means that it can hit 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds and it takes only 9.9 seconds to go all the way from 0 to 124 mph. Top speed wasn’t fully divulged, but LAmbo did say that it will exceed 325 km/h (202 mph).
Power for the new Lambo is sent to all four wheels through a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox and if you’re feeling the vibe of optional driving modes, the Huracán has three modes - Strada, Sport and Corsa - you can choose from. These systems impact just about every part of the car, including the gearbox, suspension, steering, exhaust, stability control and the all-wheel-drive system.
In terms of raw numbers, the Huracan’s V-10 is also Euro 6 compliant, enabling it to have an average fuel consumption of 18.8 mpg in the U.S. (12.5 liters / 100 km).
Doing the stopping is a standard set of carbon-ceramic brakes, and variable steering ration allows the driver to whip the new Lambo through the twist with the flick of a wrist.
