Chronology

Predecessor Lamborghini Gallardo

The Lamborghini Huracn (Spanish for "hurricane"; [uakan]) is a sports car built by Lamborghini,
replacing Lamborghini's sales leader and most produced car, the Gallardo.[2] The Huracn made
its auto show debut at the March 2014 Geneva Auto Show,[3] and was released in the second quarter
of 2014. The name of the Huracan LP 610-4 comes from the fact that this car has 610 metric
horsepower and 4 wheel drive. The Huracn was named "The Supercar of the Year 2014" by car
magazine Top Gear.[4]

Name[edit]
The Huracn's name (huracn being the Spanish word for hurricane) is inspired by a Spanish fighting
bull. Names from historical Spanish fighting bulls has been the traditional naming scheme of most
Lamborghini car models. Huracn was a bull known for its courage that fought in 1879.
[5]
Also Huracan is the Mayan god of wind, storm and fire.[6]

Huracn LP 610-4 Coupe (2014present)[edit]

Huracn LP610-4
Changes from Gallardo included full LED illumination, a 12.3 inch full-colour TFT instrument panel,
Fine Nappa leather and Alcantara interior upholstery, redesigned dashboard and central tunnel,
Iniezione Diretta Stratificata (IDS, essentially an adapted version of parent Audi's Fuel Stratified
Injection) direct and indirect gasoline injections, engine Stop & Start technology, EU6 emissions
regulation compliance, Lamborghini Doppia Frizione (LDF) 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with 3
modes (STRADA, SPORT and CORSA), 20 inch wheels, carbon-ceramic brake system, optional
Lamborghini Dynamic Steering variable steering system and MagneRide electromagnetic
damper control.[7]
The vehicle was unveiled at the March 2014 Geneva Motor Show, [8][9] and deliveries began in the
second quarter of 2014.[10][11] The Huracn is comparable to the McLaren 650S and the Ferrari 458
Speciale (as well as its successor, the 488 GTB).[12]
The price of the Huracn with extra options added reaches to over US$320,000, or 200,000. The
base price for the Huracn in the United States is US$241,945, and around 180,720 in the UK.
[13]
Extra options that increase the price of the car include interior enhancements,
special paint schemes, improved suspension, and a lifting system, as well as multiple components
optionally available in carbon fiber, rather than aluminium.[14] [15] Taiwan models went on sale
for NT$15,080,000.[16]
In early 2015, the Huracn appeared on the motoring magazine Top Gear. It got a neutral review
from Richard Hammond who said that it was too tame to be a "proper Lamborghini." However, it got
around the Top Gear test track in 1:15.8 which is faster than any other Lamborghini to go around the
track to date, including the Aventador.
Huracn LP 610-4 Polizia[edit]
The Huracn LP 610-4 Polizia is the official police car version of the Lamborghini specifically
produced for the Italian State Police, after the two Gallardos used by the Polizia Stradale were
destroyed in car crashes. This model sports various features not included in the civilian 610-4 Coupe,
such as blue Polizia body colour, white stripes and lettering following the Huracn's dynamic design
language, a video system positioned in the centre of the cabin with a camera fitted next to the rear
view mirror, a computer, recording equipment behind the seats, a Proof Video Data System, gun
holster, police radio equipment, a Paletta (the traditional hand-held stop sign used to advise motorists
and traffic offenders to pull over), a removable screen, a refrigeration system at the luggage
compartment in the front of the vehicle (for use in the vehicle's role in transporting organs for
transplantation), a defibrillator, and a police beacon with blue LEDs around the base
and white LED signals on the front, sides and rear of the light's aluminium shell. [17][18]
Huracn LP 610-4 Avio[edit]

Huracan Avio
Avio is the first limited edition of Huracn, bringing new colours, upholstery, exterior decals and
interior logos inspired by fighter jets and featuring a tricolor cockade in Red, White and Green. [19] On
the center console there is a plaque informing of limited number from 250 examples offered. [20]

Huracn LP 610-4 Spyder (2016present)[edit]

Huracn LP610-4 Spyder

A convertible variant of the Huracn LP 610-4 was revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show on 14
September 2015. The 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 engine is the same as seen in the coup, and
it develops 610 PS (449 kW; 602 hp). 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes 3.4 seconds and the top speed
is 323 km/h (201 mph). UK deliveries had begun in early 2016. It has a 7-speed Lamborghini Doppia
Frizione (LDF) dual-clutch transmission. Its CO2 emission is about 280 g/km.[21]

Huracn LP 580-2 Coupe (2016-present)[edit]

Lamborghini Huracn LP 580-2

Lamborghini Huracn LP 580-2

The Huracn LP 580-2 is a lower cost derivative of the Huracn 610-4 that differs mostly in having an
engine tuned only to 580 PS and only driving the rear wheels. It has the same 5.2-liter V-10 engine
as the 610-4, except tuned to 572 hp (580 PS; 427 kW) and 533 Nm (393 lbft). Lamborghini claims
it will do 0100 km/h (062 mph) in 3.4 seconds and 0200 km/h (0124 mph) in 10.1 seconds. The
top speed is claimed to be as high as 320 km/h (199 mph). It also features slight visual differences to
the LP610-4 variant of the car - with a different front fascia and a larger air vent at the rear of the car.
[22]
The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission is the same as used in the 610-4. The base level 580-2
costs US$201,100, about US$40,000 less than the base level 610-4.[23]

Huracn LP 580-2 Spyder (2016-present)[edit]

Lamborghini Huracn LP 580-2 RWD Spyder

A convertible variant of the Huracn LP 580-2 was revealed at Los Angeles on 16 November 2016.
The 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 engine is the same as seen in the coup, and it develops
580 PS (427 kW; 572 hp).[citation needed] 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes 3.6 seconds and the top speed is
320 km/h (199 mph).

Huracn LP 640-4 Performante (2017-present)[edit]

The LP 640-4 Performante revealed at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.

A performance variant of the Huracn, called the Performante, was observed in October 2016, at
the Nrburgring track. The car would later be shown in its full production form at the 2017 Geneva
Motor Show.[24][25]

A rear shot of the Performante from the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.

The Huracn Performante appears to have an extensive change in body design. The biggest
changes come from the front and rear bumpers. Carbon fibre is used for the bumpers skirts, and the
new rear spoiler. The position of the exhausts have changed, just a bit above the rear diffuser. The
interior has also changed with a new seat design and a new digital speedometer (similar to that of
the Aventador SV's speedometer).[26]
The Performante's 5.2-liter V10 will now put out 631 hp (471 kW; 640 PS) at 8000 rpm and 443 lbft
(601 Nm) of torque at 6500 rpm. The weight has also decreased by 40 kg (88 lb), thanks to the
forged aluminium and forged carbon fibre body (first used in the Sesto Elemento) and hollow parts.
There are also forged carbon fibre parts used on the new rear spoiler, front splitter, and rear diffuser,
and these all have active individual aerodynamic elements on them to help the car during movement.
The vehicle is capable of doing 0-62 mph (0100 km/h) in 2.9 seconds, 62-124 mph (100200 km/h)
in 6 seconds and with a top speed at limited around 202 mph (325 km/h). And theorical at 218 mph
(351 km/h).
The car has been stiffened by 10% with new springs, roll bars, and radial & axial arm bushings. The
magneto-rheological suspension has been reworked to give a driver a serious track experience. The
Lamborghini Dynamic Steering has been re-calibrated. The Huracn now also has Lamborghini's
new ALA (Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva) system, which is said to be 80% lighter than regular
sports car hydraulic systems. According to Lamborghini, ALA is also said to provide 750% more
downforce than the regular Huracn.[27] The price of the car is set at US$274,390.
In October 2016, the Performante set a lap time of 6:52.01 minutes on the Nrburgring Nordschleife,
[28]
with Marco Mapellibehind the wheel, making it the world's fastest production car around the track.
This lap was also made on Marco Mapelli's first attempt. [29] However, some critics have stated
complaints around the car's lap time, from the official video being sped up to make the lap believable,
to the speeds displayed in the video being false[30][31] or that it did not use road tires.[32] However,
Lamborghini was able to prove that the lap the Performante did was fully legitimate exactly a week
after the lap around the Nordschleife when they revealed the data to car website, Road & Track.
Mt Petrany of R&T had met with lead engineer of Lamborghini, Maurizio Reggiani, to ask about the
lap. It was then revealed by Reggiani that the Performante's active aerodynamic system
called Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva is what gives the car the greatest improvement in lap time. It
is said by Lamborghini that on ALA's most aggressive setting, 750% more downforce is created
compared to the standard LP 610-4. What is more important is the spoilers snapping into their
lowest-drag setting when the Performante is aimed forward, which results in the removal of
acceleration impediment that big aero causes.[33]

Specifications[edit]
Engine[edit]
The Huracn maintains the 5.2 L naturally aspirated Audi/Lamborghini V10 engine from the Gallardo,
tuned for 610 PS (449 kW; 602 hp). To ensure its balance and performance, the car is mid-engined.
The V10 has both direct fuel injection and multi-point fuel injection. It combines the benefits of both of
these systems; it is the first time this combination is used in a V10. To increase its efficiency the
Huracn's engine also includes a start-stop system.
Performance[edit]
With a dry weight of 1,422 kg (3,135 lb), the Huracn has a power-to-weight ratio of 2.36 kg (5.20 lb)
per horsepower.[34]

The Huracn has electronically controlled all-wheel drive, which aims to increase the traction on
various surfaces and the overall performance of the car. [44] The car has a 7-speed dual clutch
transmission, Lamborghini's new 'Doppia Frizione' (Dual Clutch) gearbox. The transmission performs
differently depending on the mode the driver has selected.[45] The Huracn will only be available with
an automatic transmission; a manual will not be offered. [46]
The Huracn also has a magnetically controlled suspension system. It utilises magnetorheological
dampers to very quickly change how the suspension acts, ensuring performance as well as usability.
[45]

The Huracan has various components in common with the next generation Audi R8. This is due to
both of the cars' utilization of Volkswagen Group sportscar technology. [46]

Interior[edit]

Huracn interior

The Huracn features various interior options for more comfort inside the car. It features a choice for
full electric control and heating of the sport seats in addition to the standard lengthwise alignment
and electric backrest. The car also has an optional navigation system and leather upholstering. [45] The
Huracn is one of the first sports cars moving infotainment out of the center stack: Lamborghini
Infotainment System. The result: a display that lets the driver decide what they want to see. It is the
first vehicle to use the 12.3 inch TFT virtual cockpit[7] from parent company Audi,[47] which is available
with high-definition (1440 x 540[48]) 3D computer graphics, Bluetooth, Google Earth GPS
navigation and Multi Media Interface-like menu and dashboard controls, all powered by Nvidia Tegra
3.[7][48]

Technology[edit]
Various aspects of the Huracn are technologically advanced. The car has full LED headlamps,
which ensures higher contrast in night conditions.[45] Also, the Huracn has optional "Lamborghini
Dynamic Steering" (LDS) to add to the standard power steering. The Dynamic Steering changes the
steering performance from normal, comfortable steering to a racing feeling. The main control for
changing the car's performance according to driving conditions is the mode selector ANIMA (Adaptive
Network Intelligent Management).[7] ANIMA controls the engine, the transmission, LDS, the all-wheel
drive, magnetorheological suspension, and the electronic stability control. The Lamborghini
Piattaforma Inerziale (LPI) carries out precise measurements of the vehicle movements using on
board sensors (3 accelerometers and 3 gyroscopes) linked to ANIMA via high-speed FlexRay CAN
bus.[7][49] The driver can select street, sport, or race mode to alter how systems like the engine or
transmission respond while driving. Depending on what mode is selected, even engine sound is
different.

Production[edit]
The Huracn's chassis is assembled by Lamborghini's parent company Audi in Neckarsulm,
Germany.[50] It is transported to the Lamborghini headquarters in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy, where
the final assembly occurs.
Within the first month of the Huracn LP 610-4 preview period, 700 orders of the vehicle were
obtained.[51] Before the official launch, Lamborghini registered more than 1,000 orders of the Huracn
LP 610-4.[52]
